Thanks, everyone, I didn't know him very well, just met at family gatherings, its the kids I feel sorry for, they are 9 & 12, the boy used to go to footy with him every weekend, and the girl was very much the apple of her grandad's eye, so they are old enough to miss him. Like you say, puts your own problems into perspective.
My granny who did most of the day-to-day bringing up of my sister and I died on December 21st when I was 14 and my sister 20. It's hard - for example, when we were putting up the tree today, we were thinking about her. But in a way it's then easier to remember her as there are all the cues, which may not seem like much now for them, but is a help. And the fact that they are old enough to both miss him now and retain memories of him is also good, once the inital grief subsides.

But it was "pure theatre"... err... let's not get carried away...pure pantomime.

The "hero" always comes and saves the situation in "the nick of time."

Could you expect anything else?

At best before the semi-final he was only third, so why was he selected to go on last, unless a "big finish" was planned?

Don't you just love a conspiracy theory?

He's been last 3 out of the last 4 weeks, he's been 1st, last or last but one 7 out of 11 weeks, they're not even making a half-arsed attempt to make it look like a level playing field are they?

Sorry, didn't mean to bring the mood down, maybe I should ask the mod to split us now, leave the upsetting things behind.

Oh, no, it's Karen's Krappy Koreo Korner tonight on ITT, do I really want to listen to her praising that dance to the skies. Cup of tea first.
Someone said that Chelsee's pasha music was 'Karen's? In which case, we'll have Karen praising everyone and using Chelsee's review as a chance to demonstrate how good she (Karen) still is (she could still be a pro, y'know).

Jason beat her score. She may not be that in love with it, but then again Karen does love a good gurn.

Bored, cabin fever, had alternate sun with heavy rain/wind all day, can hardly see out the windows for the salt caked on them, fun cleaning those.

I really wont miss the end of strictly this year, in fact I am looking forward to it, sick of trying to be diplomatic, sick of trying to summon up interest on a so so season, sick of all the holier than thous out there. Apart from that everything is hunky dory.

Sh*t phone just rang, my cousin's father-in-law just dropped dead in the kitchen of his house today, her kids adored him and are in bits, not going to be a fun Christmas for them

OMG, that's horrible. I'm so sorry.
