Like you?

The OP is joking with this thread, you do know that don't you?

AST alumni include Phil Daniels, Patsy Palmer and Natalie Cassidy who iirc weren't as good as Jake on scd

I dont know . Its a subtle dig at Jake IMO

No. I didn't. The title of the thread did not enlighten me to that fact.

I think it is a London community based school, which is why so many Londoners attend (if that makes sense!)

We'll have to wait and see if those statements are true on google search on news feed. The OP might have a point.

The OP does though.

You clearly didn't understand my original post. How many do you have to put for people to understand you are mocking those who insist on calling contestants ringers

I like Jake a lot, he's a good dancer. This is a dig at the boring Frankie and Pixie threads, not at him.

You quote makes no sense.

If you want to take it that way maybe.

But the title " jake is a ringer " is what is seen on the first page of the SCD forum. Thats what people see , not the opening post

If you mean my post, OP can stand for Original Post, Original Poster (and sometimes Opening Post).

Well the title doesnt convey that at all

If people choose to only read the title and not the post, then that's their problem and pretty daft if you ask me. It's common sense surely to know what the subject is before jumping in with a reply.

Well I assumed anyone who clicked on the thread would get the joke but I apologise if they didn't. I honestly don't care who has had dance training, and it's not even certain that Jake has had some. A lot of people say he has had no dance training, so Shimmy Jimmy may be wrong. But I honestly don't care when people have a bit of experience, it's a fun entertainment show.

But the criticism is usually very sexist, the girls get picked on.

The exclamation mark wouldn't give a hint to read the OP?

Maybe you and I should just walk away from this thread. If people are only bothering to read the title...

Nope. Sorry even more confused. Never mind.

Sorry didn't get the joke. But probably my fault

Wasn't there a rumour one year that a Sleb took lessons for several months before they joined the show?

What is with the confrontation ? The OP Had seen how it might be conveyed ?

Did James not also have a dig at Jake last week, could it be Janette he is really getting at

No worries . I diidnt get it as a joke but could have been me !

Yes and Pauline Quirke and Linda Robson. From what I've seen of it, it is a drama school which doesn't mention dance.
