Aaawwwwww Muggsy, that's awful. Hope the pain is receding and that the lumpy bumps go down. Some of those antibiotics can be evil. I was given some last year that the doc said can cause 'explosive diarrhoea'. Thankfully I missed that but for weeks I was scared to sneeze.

The final will have to include at least one Clifton and I would like it to be Jwann. She's incredibly annoying but not as bad as TTF. But then he doesn't flash his knickers..... difficult choice.

And if you are reading this, Kevin, I am NOT suggesting that you flash your knickers, OK?
Wiskas, I hold you responsible when the inevitable happens.....

Thanks for the good wishes aggs and Wiskas.

If it didn't mean losing Danny or Cloudia, I think I'd like to see both Cliftons in the final. Then we'd see if family loyalty led to shouts of '10!' from the balcony or would sibling rivalry take hold. Or would they both glare menacingly at Karen?

I think we're going to need a quiet room for the next couple of weeks. It seems to be heating up - and if I thought last year's final was a bad tempered grumpfest (and I did) then this year looks set to knock it into a cocked hat.

I think it's gonna be bbbbaaadddd

Can I appreciate something? I know it is against the spirit of the thread but I really appreciate the "ignore" button!

Love that Gorka can't say words starting with an S without putting a vowel in front. Perfect for esstrictly.
A Spanish person that CAN pronounce them it's a rare creature. 14 years living in England and I still say Esnow, espain and estrictly.

As a first timer in this thread - *waves* I think it might be for the best to settle in here. There's too many fan storms brewing!

I know Please never learn. There is someting totally endearing about that particular linguistic marker.
Much more appeallng than for example listening to my AT teacher ( English) pronounce sacada as sircarder instead of sa ca da.

It's always wise to settle in here. There are cushions. And alcoholic beverages. And non-alcoholic beverages (if you're... er... on antibiotics or something ). And nibbles. And hot waiters.

I only go out for as long as it takes to make a pain in the @rse of myself. In fact, the same is generally true of real life too .

I'm here for 2 minutes and already sussed as a non drinker, WHO ARE YOU?! *settles in*. Where are these hot waiters? *Expecting Gorka any moment now*

I gave up hopes of speaking proper English long ago. And recently I have finally fully embraced my accent. (Just beacuse some people seem to think it's sexy! I still think I sound retarded! )

I've lived in England for more years than I want to remember, but every now & again (usually at times of stress or major excitement - like United actually bothering to win a match) I break out into thick Irish. And as I am from the Six Counties, it is quite impenetrable Norn Iron Irish. I get people looking at me and you can se their minds going 'wha....???'

Who wants to speak BBC English anyway? A Spanish accent is lovely.

Wise decision. Grab a pashmina and a pastry - there are pains chocolat over there and I think there are some apple turnovers by the kettle.

Goodness have we enough tin hats and spears on order? It's scary!

Even this thread has a few blank places, hurray. great job DS.

Job lot of extra cushions, pashminas and crates of alcohol in store for emergencies.

I am not really that invested in the winning aspect though if Danny doesn't get to the final so I see all of his dances I will start spear throwing. It appears however that some people do care about who wins. A lot.

Also if we get something like the stupid Sophie situation where we never got to see her charleston repeated I might throw things again.

Those judges choice dances are just odd, don't they understand by that point we have our favourite dances and want to see them not a stupid week one cha cha.
I think they forget it's an entertainment show, we want to be entertained.

Thinking about it their are many dances from this series that would have made the final a lot better if we could have had them repeated,

Gregs rumba

Ed well several things really !

Ditto JR I will miss his mad Paso and cowgirl VW.

It's going to be a joyless dry final if they are not careful.

I really hope the judges have learnt to keep their mouths shut and not try and impose a winner that the public don't want. That caused quite a tetchy feeling to last years final.

There will be an inevitable Len send off but hopefully it's short and not too saccerine sweet.

I just don't want it to be worthy, how about some fun.?

Hot chocolate for a non alcoholic beverage too.

I pick up every accent going, no matter where I live, I am like a mynah bird a natural mimic. Currently quite an RP drawl, but I lapse into a Welsh lilt ( North Wales ) at the drop of a hat. It's not conscious and I don't know I do it. I met someone from the Shetland Isles a while ago and before you knew it I was saying " wheest".

As you say, it does somewhat confuse people. It's impossible for me to not do it, I do pick up languages easily though.

I nearly chocked the first time I heard myself say " Parse the glarse, please'

Instead of " pas the glas please ". My Northern heart was a little broken.

Love a Kimberley! I'm from East Antrim. Lived in Cardiff for a few years, and Glasgow, and have a French other half, so some strong accent-isms have been softened.

Helloo waves

Just to let you know, Sofakat gets very possessive of Shemar.
No one taught her to share - distraction with a bottle of Jameson's can provide a window of opportunity though 😇

If you hear noises from the cage in the corner, don't worry, shuddupfluffy keeps Morten Harket there for his own safety apparently. She is caring like that

Another one here I've left the Ormo Christmas cake by the kettle and the soda and potato bread are frying nicely on the hob.
I live in Dublin now and have just spent half an hour on the phone with the tax office where the automated system could not understand my speaking my tax reference number in 5 attempts and so finally put me through to an actual person - I felt like I was in an episode of Miranda

God love you. The first time I brought my other half home to meet the extended family, he was like 'I'm understanding about 5% of what's being said right now.'

Hey you! Welcome. This is the sanest place to be. Seriously.

You have ready discovered the strong Irish theme. Yeah, I'm one too - an awful Dublin 4, but I left years ago.

Yes, Shemar is mine, as is Idris. I allow them pour drinks for other DOTS every now ann then, and to shake their booty if the music is good They are both appalling showoffs, but other than that ..... nope.

They'll tell you I can be bribed with Jamesons. Fallacy. I can hold my drink.

Looking forward to reading your dance critiques and comments too. Like what I have seen so far.
