I promise as a newby at Strictly time of year to be respectful to other posters ..... as long as they agree with me

I promise not to be irritated every time Bruno's bum rises from his seat

I promise to listen to Alesha and not count every "you woz"

I promise not to say "coooples" and "jooodges" for the duration of the series

I promise not to even suggest on any forum that Julian Clary should be the host

I promise to remember how delightful Natalie Lowe was on the tour, and remember that I said I had changed my opinion of her

Yes, I also promise not to scowl and mutter 'bad grammer' every single time she...

No point in me promising most of the above as i am bound to break my promise

I promise not to call Erin and especially Anton liabilities to their partners because of their poor Latin. (At least Erin makes an effort, unlike Anton.)

I promise not to get annoyed every time Len loses it with Craig... despite Len completely ignoring the fact that Craig always finishes his criticisms with something positive.

I promise not to complain about Len having a double vote in the dance-off.

I promise not to keep pointing out that Arlene was the only judge who would give constructive criticism - ie, not just saying what the contestants need to work on but also saying how they can improve - and that this is sorely lacking. Things like, "Go to a ballet class and learn to point your toes." "Go to a drama coach to work on your facial expressions." And no, this isn't "bring back Arlene," nor is it "get rid of judge X," it's more "give us a judge who'll give practical advice."

I promise not to get too upset that Darren, Lilia, Ian and Matt have all been sidelined and to look forward with enthusiasm to the pro dances.

I promise not to scream at the telly every time the judges show blatant criticism to any contestants, whether warranted by their dancing/performance skills or not.



Errrm... I think I might just have broken every single one of those promises!

This is about the only bit I can see me keeping!

Hiya mimidlc and memmh!

Good job resolutions are almost always broken with in a few days!

Hi, Buddy *hugs*

Now that we're beginning to get news, I decided it was time to come back and say hello

At least I included one promise I definitely won't break. It stops me feeling guilty about breaking all the others!

Hi guys! Seems ages since last year!

I promise to try to be civil to anyone who phones, and to not shut the door in anyone's face who calls round unexpectedly while Strictly is on!!!!

I promise to try not to find fault with Tess's dresses!

I promise to read every single Musing by JohnfromWales!!

I don't need to promise that, it goes without saying! Strictly wouldn't be the same without JfW's Marvellous Musings

Finally a resolution I can resolve to follow!

oooh yes.......John From Wales is absolutely required reading as ofcourse is The Mighty Mighty Monkseal.

There are some bad habits that I know there is no point in pretending I will give up.

So I will continue to.....

......Snark about the celebs costumes.
Ditto hair.
.......Resort to wikipedia to find out who these z list zlebs are.
......Lust after Claudia's shoes.
.......Yell "it's Ol-la, not Oh-la" every time Tess gets Mrs Jordan's name wrong.

But other than that, I will try and be a good girl.

Except when posting on the Non- App thread, when I will revert to my natural bitchy self!
