Robin rocking yet another bandana! Pasha looked like he was dancing with his mum and I'm guessing there's only about 5 or 6 years between them!

She was a bit wooden....I'm guessing Susanna Reid on the main programme next year then.

Sian's not got much to do now has she? She didn't relocate to Manchester did she, but I never watch Breakfast or the main news so I've no idea?

Emily Maitlis seemed quite keen.

I quite liked the way Vincent half watched and then did the steps at just barely above walking pace in a lets just humour him sort of way

Some - well most - of the music choices are a bit odd. Was who dances to what selected by DayVarch, an end of term disco mix CD and a pin?

On doing the show or on Pasha? I think it was SCD-O in a mask!

A mask, and stilettos, fishnets and a frock slit to the hip .......

I'm guessing that the plan is to shoot Russell out of the cannon. Can we not just shoot him with it?

Must unappreciate my sore throat. It does not make for good French accent.

The bore didn't look that large, though.
In unrelated news, Jason is very small also

Boo at the sore throat.

I'm sure it is better to shoot somebody with a cannon than out of one, if only pour encourager les autres.

Sorry about your sore throat, but look on the bright side - you can do a fantastic impersonation of Jeanne Moreau in Jules et Jim.

C'est dommage que tu as mal a la gorge. J'espere que tu vas mieux demain. Mais je pense que ton accent francais sera bien.

Nah - she was the wooden one. Would prefer any of the others.


I hope the cannon doesn't work. Would make my night.

I did my French oral exam with a sore throat last year - still managed to pass, thankfully.

Unappreciating the ****ING swing-a-ma-jig coming back.

Deep gloom at the prospect, indeed. 'Cept I don't quite believe it - five couples careering around like drunken sailors on that small dance-floor was bad enough: seven couples doing the same doesn't bear thinking about.

Is digiguide (whatever that might be) a reliable source?

At Wem-ber-ley??

I wish!

Missed the whole show because I had to do some shopping at Tesco. They are supposed to finish renovating today (which was why I went this evening) but everything still in a complete mess. Took me three times as long to get what I wanted.

NOT happy. Have to wait for iplayer to see Pasha.

It's up on Radio Times as well. In fairness it's slightly more pointful with one other dance rather than two, and seven couples allows it to be worth more points, but it's still ugly, barely watchable, contrived bollocks.

It would only be more pointful if there were any doubt about the order in which the couples will be eliminated - might as well just toss the extra points in for gratis, without making us sit through the bliddy thing. I'll pickle me walnuts* if it actually affects the order on the scoreboard.



*actually spent this afternoon pickling pears - does that count?

Whilst I was getting immersed in the complicated Other World of HE, 14 hour days and no free time WHATSOEVER, I see that I have missed out on a Bandwagon of some kind – destination unknown - the news that Merkel may try to take over Ireland, that Spelling and Latin one upmanship may replace Sudoko and that Artem has been bequeathed Nancy Delusional for a crime he may have committed, which has yet to be explained.

I was only in Clerkenwell FFS, but I might as well have been in Outer Mongolia.

HE IT depts are pants BTW. I have been orf line for some time and tried to sell my soul to the IT department in order to get my hands on a working PC or laptop. I may have won the battle but lost my inner peace.

Don't ask!

P.S. I do love the project tho' and being back in London.

10 years actually, she is the same age as Susanna Reid.

Unappreciation unnecessary.

Don't cut the wire!

PLEASE, whatever happens, nobody CUT THE WIRE.

See THAT WIRE up there? Nobody CUT IT whatever they do.

THAT WIRE! Nobody but nobody should GO NEAR IT WITH A BIG KNIFE/HUGE PAIR OF SHEARS/SHARP AXE AND ATTEMPT TO CUT THROUGH IT.

I think I can see his entrance. [vomit smilie]

Is that Big Bird ?

Oh, go on .... someone cut the damn wire !!

I'm so fed up of his f**king jollity, he makes me want to boot his arse.
