After the success of the thread for last series, I've started one for Series X.
SCD Series X 'Post of the Day'
1 of 6
From the 'Anyone remember Alesha?' thread:
Following a discussion about chocolate and sweets from the 80s, FMs were asked to compare Darcy and Alesha to chocolate bars. Anyone who ever bought a Hellas bar will know exactly why this post is so good!

Yes, you know logically how to lose weight, but nothing about losing weight is logical for a woman. It's why we have such a different relationship with chocolate to men.
I lost 8 stone at WW and I now weigh and counsel other women, it's got not a lot to do with what you put in your mouth, it's what goes on between your ears.
Food is the only addiction that you have to face every day. If you're an alcoholic or a gambler or a drug addict, you can avoid your addiction, whereas people with food addiction have to face that addiction at least 3 times a day.
It must be nice for the judgmental amongst us to sit on that high horse and make judgments about things they know very little about.

Loved this exchange about Lisa talking about her weight:

In reply to someone not knowing what the 'Ho!' was.... this made me cry laughing - it's just the way it's done, but it was brilliant.

Why thank you my dears
I might have put in too many "dah"s but it was the only way that I could describe that bit
This is a few days old, but I'm rubbish at cutting and pasting with only my phone to use

I am ... and I wondered what today's contribution was.....
I would have said Ali's post about Colin's hands and what they could be used for would qualify too.... but maybe that should stay where it is....
Fab poetry post from 7Seren7 in the 'Week 1 dances' thread that I thought I would add here too

SCD Launch Show 2012
It’s Series 10 of Strictly,
Doesn’t time quickly fly?
A new set of celebs and dancers,
Lots of glitz to dazzle the eye.
We have Olympians, presenters & actors,
We know them all by name,
All have one thing in common…
Their lives are touched by fame.
Sid, the cheeky chappie,
Michael, the cricket whiz,
Colin, the Hollywood actor,
Bet Kristina will make him fizz!
Johnny, the OAP like me!
Louis, the Olympic star,
Richard from Breakfast TV,
Westlife Nicky-he’ll probably go far!
Jerry Hall with her clever wit,
Kimberly from “Girls Aloud”,
Dani, the “pocket rocket”,
To win they will all have vowed!
Victoria the Olympic champion,
With the world now at her feet.
Denise Van Outen- star of stage,
Her partner waiting to meet.
Jolly Lisa from Emmerdale,
She’ll be a lot of fun,
I believe she’ll surprise us all,
When her dance is done!
Then we come to lovely Fern,
For years our “This Morning” friend,
I miss her “cracking up” with Phil,
Best wishes to them all, I send.
Bruce and Tess are back again,
The judges Craig, Bruno and Len,
With new judge Darcey Bussell
To marks the celebs out of ten!
So here we go on Launch Night,
With all the glitz and glamour,
The fab band and singers all ready,
Round the audience ran a murmur.
Lovely Nat with Michael,
Ola and smiling Sid,
Denise and the happy James…
He jumped up like a kid!!
Richard with Erin, Kimberly and Pash.
Nicky with Karen, the new girl,
Louis & Flavia, Anton with Jerry,
Aliona will give Johnny a twirl!
Victoria with Brendan---was he pleased!!
Kristina with Colin who’s VERY tall.
Vincent & Dani the diminutive duo.
I’m sure they’ll all have a ball!
Robin was thrilled to have Lisa,
You can see the fun at a glance,
They will have a whale of a time,
By golly, that girl can dance!
Our Artem was partnered with lovely Fern,
With smiles their faces were lit!
This is a lovely partnership,
And she can do the splits!!!
The group dance was a bit of a mess!
The pro dance as usual- great!
Can’t wait to see how the partnerships work,
October the 5th is the date!
So the pairings are done for another year,
Can’t wait for Strictly to begin.
The sparkle, the satins and sequins,
And all that glittery bling!
Good luck to all the couples,
Especially Fern and Artem.
You’ll sparkle like the stars you are,
This new team we will call Ferntem!!

Here's a brief description of how Albanian television stretches out an episode for three hours:
1) Opening sequence. Theme tune is as usual, but slower than ours. Much slower. I think this is because both professional and celebrity seem to be at the same level of competence in the posing bits.
2) Presenters come on. She's a GMTV presenter, he's a gay porn star. They talk. And talk. And talk. And talk. I'm going to make some soup.
[wanders to kitchen]
and talk and talk and talk,
3) The judges are introduced. There's three of them, who all talk for as long as they can about how lovely it must be to live in Albania. The three judges are:
a) Andi McDowell drown from memory
b) A gay porn star
c) A bank manager
Then there's more talking. I've made some bread and hoovered the flat at this rate
4) Let's meet the stars of our show! It becomes clear that the standard of ballroom dancing in Albania is below ours because I still can't work out which is the professional and which is the celeb. Further to this, the dresses are more Preston Market than Blackpool Tower. Lots of beards, too. And on the men.
5) Let's dance! The VT has lots of dancing, which is novel. Also talking. He talks. She talks. He talks. She talks. Do they not like each other? I think not. She has a moon-face and a severe hairline. He has a goatee.
6) There's some more talking. There's no also no live band. This is a quickstep with no quick. There's barely any step. He folds his arms at one point whilst she walks around him. And i mean *walks*.
7) Voting. There's now enough talking for me to build a rabbit hutch and sand-blast the kitchen sink. The voting takes place about an hour later. The votes are 3 - 4 - 8.
8) Another VT. This is 90 seconds of a woman on a motorbike, sometimes in monochrome. Nothing explains this.
9) A Paso to the last Bond theme. It's awful. He looks like a bored waiter, she looks unable to string to steps together. It seems to end after only 30 seconds, too,
10) More talking. I've now grown an inch and baked cakes for all my neighbours. The voting is 6-2-8”

This is cheating as it's not actually a quote from DS, but it is a fantastic "defence" of the Denise is a RINGAH accusations.
