Seems Laura is out tonight with an Ugg boot/frozen pea injury and has a bye through to next week, somcant see it getting better any time soon ...

Sad, about Laura, but seriously unappreciating all the orthopaedic surgeons about to come out of the woodwork.

How long will it be before there are demands to see any X-rays or scans, plus a recording of all clinical consultations so that we can judge whether she is justified in taking a bye or whether she should have been forced to dance?

On another topic (although it'll be interesting to see if Laura's now going to be pulled into the fray)- this is my first ever FANWARZ detailed reading of DS.
It's been quite the eye-opener.


ETA- I thought I saw fanwarz last year- turns out that was mere child's play.

ETA #2 in fact - you know how WWII was really just finishing off the simmering tensions of WWI? I'm getting shades of that with this series...

Having said that- none of this will ever be finished, will it.

I wondered where the peas had gone from our freezer.

Strange, though, that she's injured and out of doing a jive, given she was in the bottom two with that Latin involving the tail feathers on the bum. Has anyone ever had an injury when they were due to do a waltz?

My aunt's cousin's next door neighbour's postman's Ugg boot has the same problem and he was fine to do his post round - and that took hours.
He did use green beans though.

I think we've already got there! Suspicions are mounting... Thank god I've just completed my 3 day course on expertise in every field of medicine ever, so am amply qualified to pass judgement on any injury or affliction of any type.😁

Well that'll be the reason then... beans are so much more efficacious than peas.. it's all in the choice of veg.

Have you seen latest photo of him now that he's getting all fit for BIG? Hubba hubba!

Not appreciating reaction to Laura's bye - must be from viewers who have not seen Strictly for more than a year. This is an old rule. I expect even if there was a break and they showed X-Rays that would not be enough for some people. "No, those are not hers. They've been swapped. I can tell because that's the wrong length of bone for someone of her build..."

And poor ole' Greg. Needs a bit of media training - mind you, probably nothing he can do. The DF and similar will happily change "no" to "yes" for the purposes of their headlines, even if they then print the actual text of what was said further down the article. Actually, I'm considering applying for a job on the DF myself. Evidently, no training or research required.

Evening all! I'm wearing a protective mask just in case the lurgy that is taking out the pros is coming through the TV screen #safetyfirst *muffled mwahs* to everyone

Is it bring your kid to work day?

Furiously applying antibacterial hand gel...mwah!

Evening all!

Ooh, Gorka in a suit... me likey!

Blimey, the pros/contestants are dropping like flies aren't they? First series with a bodycount ?

RobDOT is channelling action man.

Jeez Anton is looking older than Leslie there

Will some one stop the little AH thatis TTF doing that stupid count in and jump

That 3 day course consists of reading DS for a couple of days, doesn't it?


*mwah*


While this should have happened earlier, at least we get it now!

Rinders dance partner is gorgeous

Oh god, they've put Ed in a waistcoat and rolled up sleeves there is no hope for me

lol Oksana at "I can see why this is frightening, not for me but for other people."

Never change!

Oh Dear, those trousers

Is it a jive, I have no idea I missed the intro completely

Well that was fun...

Someday surely he'll slip? Please?
