Thanks for this posting. I concur having been a stooge on his stage show a few years ago. A real gent.

I have to say when I heard him say that I thought 'oh God, the anti-brigade will be up in arms about this'. Especially after he'd been really quite sweet and humble with Claudia, saying he was happy to go because he didn't want other people to leave.

He's also a fairly private person, if his stint on Wife Swap is anything to go by, and may well not have felt comfortable being all gushy towards Ola on camera.

I'll reserve judgement on him until I've seen what he has to say on ITT (assuming he appears). I suspect that will be his moment to thank Ola properly.

Just because some of us dont like what he said and have an opinion on it doesnt make us an brigade .Just people with an opinion .

Sorry, not sure what you find offensive about being called a brigade, but I'll apologise anyway

A brigade sounds good to me. A brigand on the other hand......

Oh not so much offened as bewildered .!! A brigade conjours up a herd of sheep to me .
No offence taken ,!

Thanks, you've just given me a name for my collie pup.
Brigadier! (Brig for short)

Love it .!! Wil he be herding sheep for a living .?

Fair enough.

I assume you also have a similarly-low opinion of Dr Pamela Stephenson-Conolly's public perving about James?

Yes, I do. But more annoyed by the fake looking Thank you gestures to the judges to be honest . She is not a simpering lady and yet simpers IMO

He didn't have to be 'gushy', all that was necessary for common courtesy was a simple 'thank you'. I do hope he thanks Ola properly tonight, I'll be rather annoyed if he doesn't.

Cool, consistency is good.

Huh, funny there are no "Pammie The Perv" threads around.

Why, it's almost like people are applying double standards.

Flock of sheep surely?!

Oh I guess so , I always think of seagulls as a flock .!

I wish! No, he'll be taking me for runs. I'm gonna lose weight or die in the attempt, which given the speed and stamina of Collies is a distinct possibility.

Lol, has he got a brother ? I too need a bit of help . Putting the cat outside the door twice a day doesnt quite cut it .

a double standard, what here? can't see it myself

Now if you'd come round to my place to put the cat outside our door, both pets could get a bit of healthy exercise together while we enjoy a nice cup of tea and a chat about Strictly.

(Why is there no "little devil" smiley on the list?)

Sounds so good you said it twice .!!

Of course that's true, although I'd argue he belongs to the race of people who simply don't like having to admit to having any feelings of gratitude at all in public, even when it's appropriate. (I'm a bit like that so I see where he's coming from).

Sttrictly Come One Man/Woman and His/Her Dog!!

Almost impossible to believe, I know.

And a cat ,. No way is he getting left out . If you need a cat and mouse waltz just give me a call .I have the very man .

That patience might be explained by the question that Mrs Merton once asked Debbie McGee "So, what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?"
