Wrong - the vast majority of viewers want Brucie to stay forever

I'm afraid you cannot tell other posters what to do, just because it happens to suit you.

Indeedy, and the rest of your post explains well the phrase 'live & let live.

Exactly, as for the other BiB - never seen anything like that in Terry's posts.

This was precisely my interpretation of the mix up. Darcy does not have the 'age' excuse, and believe me it happens all too often in our later years.

Prove it.

None of those who say we don't like Fforsyth claim that we are in the majority of VIEWERS, although we do appear to be in the majority on this forum, but of course we can't prove that.

I have noticed one or two such orders daisydee, it makes you think of a combination of a theatrical audition and one of Julians songs 'Leader of the pack'

I can never imagine Sir Bruce giving out rude orders he is far to polite for that.

In that case daisydee You haven't read all of Terry's posts. He frequently twists something that's said against him into something suggestive. I'm not willing to go back through them to point them out because I don't want to read them again.

Has anyone?
Yes Terry turns things around, instead of taking offence, as most might, he chooses to reply either benignly or in a way that completely confuses, which i find quite amusing, but never read anything I could interpret as suggestive.

I did once suggest that my friend Errol was a 'hairdresser' but he saw it and made me publically apologise and point out that he is actually a 'hair stylist to the stars' lol


PS I think its best to point out that Errol is not Sir Bruce's hair stylist or to anyone on Strictly before someone asks.

Go and check out Terry's thread where he asked who was missing Brucie this week - the result of that is an almost unanimous vote in favour of ditching Brucie... Even people who haven't previously expressed an opinion one way or another before now have come out to say they haven't missed him at all.

He's had a great career - but it's time for him to shuffle off to Buffalo and let a competent presenter who is up to doing both shows for the whole series take over.

How ironic. The knockers always make more noise. But you are in the tiny minority.

Prove it?
We are a majority on this forum who are fed up with Bruce and make no claim outside of this. Unlike your totally unsubstanciated claim.

Well I wasn't planning on it - there are too many threads (and not all Terry's) on here, I only read a few. And I don't really see any point as I know there's a large number of posters who want to see the back of Brucie. They are entitled to their opinion, I like Bruce, and whilst I agree with many of their reasons for seeing the back of him, they don't bother me. He can go or stay. I'll live.

Your post is the ironic one. It's the Fforsyth supporters who claim to know the views of ALL viewers, while those of us who'd rather he wasn't on the show NEVER claim to be in the majority of viewers - we just don't know and neither does anyone else.

Why can't you just admit there are viewers who would rather he retired with some dignity left and viewers who want him to stay until he dies on their screens. No-one knows how many there are of either - I repeat no-one knows.

You might not like it, but we are all entitled to our own opinion and are also entitled to express it. Going on about it and attacking the naysayers won't change their opinion.

Posts here are very un scientific, the people who want to make a point do post, DS does attract people who complain or have an axe to grind.

People of neutral view tend not to visit or post.

People with the opposite view try to avoid getting into an argument so do not post.

Any one who thinks a thread is representative is kidding themselves.

Overall only a small percentage of people visit here and then only a small amount post.

I am surprised a small minority keep posting too get Bruce to go, only on person will influence that and that's Bruce.

It is very refreshing to read your well reasoned points A.D.P. thank you, I'm sure Sir Bruce would say so too.

The voice of reason.

Your post is just as unscientific!

Yes the sort of folk who post on here are computer savvy super fans, be they pro or anti Bruce, and yes they are not that representative of the viewing population.

However having been a member on here for many years, I have been amazed at how the numbers of those who wish to see the back of Bruce have increased, particularly this year - his supporters whilst loyal and vocal have been declining year on year, and some who were quite strong supporters in years past have switched camps over the last couple of years.

Those who support him cannot fail to see just how much he has declined in the last couple of years - check out the YouTube clips of even two or three years ago, and you can't fail to see just how he has gone downhill - never mind what he was like in series 1 or 2!

His timing has gone, he can no longer manage to come down the main staircase, he needs Tess to help him manage the few stairs from the stage to the dance floor, and he clearly has trouble reading the autocue. The way he spoke about the floor manager who was telling him he was talking to the wrong camera was downright rude, and his ever increasing rudeness towards the panel is noticeable.

Check out Terry's thread about who's missing Brucie - and see just how many people on there including long time lurker a and those who have never expressed an opinion before have spoken. Bruce is losing popularity at a rate of knots with his bumbling, fumbling performances.

Listen to the drinking fountain or kitchen conversations about TV at work - those I have heard nearly all say that Bruce should call it a day!

And all that proves is that we are SCD viewers airing our views - in the grand scheme of things - it counts for nowt!

Bruce will no doubt be carried out shouting ,,,,,, b b but I'm in charge!

Bless 'im, for all his faults, i still love him.

The best ! My work colleagues would be deeply saddened if he left - every single one of them. I have never met anyone over the years who didn't love him. They are a very small fringe group.
