Of course you're entitled to your feelings - he's got up your nose. Fair enough.

But there does seem to be a suggestion - not necessarily your post - that SCD viewers nationwide are clutching their pearls in a fit of moral outrage.

All I can say is

I think thats fair...yes he has got up my nose....I feel cross not outraged.

Thought as much - you're too reasonable to think otherwise, really.

Not all those who consider Robbie's actions to be inappropriate wear pearls - nor are they all 'Angry from Tunbridge Wells DM readers.'

This Guardian reader owns no pearls to clutch - nor do I feel outrage (a little nauseous perhaps) - but I did find the crotch clutching overly suggestive.

I'd like to suggest to him that next time he feels the urge to check that his manhood is still in place and intact, he does it in private.

Long flowing Ginger Rogers dresses would be an improvement for the show.

You didn't mind when I did it

On a serious note, I'm with you on this one Ignazio. It was a bit vulgar (as Nancy would put it!) and I don't want to see it again.

My opinion of the Daily Express is similar to my view of the Daily Mail and similar to what I think of Widdy.

In fact last year I found the sight of her crotch in those yellow bloomers just as yuk inducing as I did Robbie's crotch clutching antics.

Love it, big big fan of Fred and Ginger!!

You're incorrigible.

Had a crap day - thanks for making me smile.

As you will remember, Ann's yellow tights top's was an accidental exposure.

My post alluded to the notion - expressed in another post - that SCD viewers nationwide were experiencing mass disapprobation which would result in Mr Savage feeling the full weight of their wrath expressed in next weeks' voting figures. All of which is quite a long way from suggesting that any viewer discomfited to either a greater or lesser degree by Robbie's gyrations (and, lest we forget, by Ola's choreography) are pearl wearers.

Quite apart from anything else, I'm sure you're aware that pearls are deeply unfashionable at present and hence you would not be seen dead wearing them. Ever.

Damn! Just bought a really pretty pink pearl bracelet and have been looking for a matching necklace. Does this mean I'll have to start reading the Daily Mail?

Get thee to the limerick lthread.

You'll need a matching twinset.

Too late to edit - but would your hand cover it?

Oh dear, now YOU'RE calling those of us who were offended, small minded, Austenfan. Why is it that some people apparently have to call anyone who doesn't agree with them small minded ??

Sorry Waites Girl, but you obviously don't understand how this message board works, although after a mere thirty-odd posts, you should be getting the hang of it.

If you post something, that another considers a criticism of a person or programme on TV, they may take that very personally indeed, if they have a contrary opinion to you.

This can lead to personal remarks being made to you for having an opposing view to them.

If you then respond, not necessarily vociferously, you can be then accused of a "rant," or receive a reply (this is my favourite as it always makes me smile) with an indignant response that begins with an "I merely" or an "I just"
Or as in the example of Robbie Savage's considered by many "inappropriate gesture," with being offered what I call a "feast or famine" choice, something like "I s'pose you'll only be happy if all the women stop wearing attractive dresses and wear sacks."


It has ever been thus.

[LIST][*]I too thought I live in a democratic country where I can express my views without being considered small minded; guess I was wrong.[*]Robbie can voice his opinion on the matter - I reserve the right to disagree.[*]Has anyone suggested Robbie portrays himself as a saint? [/LIST]

Very funny. And how true.

Thank you for recognising attempted humour that I didn't feel the necessity of adding smilies. (I refuse to use them).

Sorry Waitesgirl I can see your point but I still don't get it!!!
I cannot understand why the fuss to be honest!!

There were other things on that Halloween show I would have thought were more inappropriate than Robbie's dance.

I'm going to take umbrage and fly into a rage. Grrr...

Be my guest, you wouldn't be the first.

There's a few on this message board that take TV, people on it and other people's opinions far too seriously, but they do make me smile.

Because Robbie was previously termed the bad boy of football - was there this amount of uproar when that nice young man from Countryfile simulated sex with his partner on the floor in their salsa last year??


I agree re the depictions of killings - besides the whole show was inapropriate to the festivals of Samhain and All Hallows Eve

Robbie and Ola are on 'Daybreak' this morning. It will be interesting to see if the crotch grabbing is mentioned.

I can't think of any other reason they are on the show.
