Mildly, I believe. I've only ever used it as a mixer for brandy when I couldn't afford champagne/prosecco as a student. Not that I'm a lush or anything...

Babycham is up there with Frosty Jack's for me as "things you'd only drink if you're desperate".

I miss the days of drinking a 3L bottle of £2 cider from iceland on a park!

I used to like the Babycham ads - with the little fawn and then the brawny chap saying in his deep brown voice "Hey! I'D lurve a Babycham"

^ quite disappointed that despite the promised new features following the upgrade, the clip isn't visible in this box.

They still sell the special glasses on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Re...QAAOSwxYxUt7No

As a child of the 60's, happy memories of The Aunts and Mother getting tiddly on Cherry B, Pony and those little green bottles of snowballs and letting slip all manner of gossip with me and various cousins keeping quiet so they forgot we were there

Catching up on ITT from yesterday - do rather appreciate Mr Louise calling Jwann 'Karen'

Ah, my late lamented Nana's Christmas treat was a Snowball. Disgusting concoction

Louise's mum looks more glam and up for a laugh than Louise does. Just saying.

The most mental thing there is that they've sold 27 of them! 27 people somewhere have said "You know what I really need? A tacky Babycham glass - that will really make my life complete!"

27 Louises out there in the world somewhere is a very frightening thought

While we were unavailable I've been reduced to getting my Strictly fix elsewhere on the web (God, I've even visited the DM) and I see that in a radio interview TTF was complaining that Louise daydreams in the training room. Help, I've got something in common with Louise. 'Cause, try as I might to concentrate, when she starts dancing my mind wanders. I swear, I've sorted out next week's shopping list, redesigned the back garden and resolved the situation in Aleppo during her dances.


I was delighted my favourite bit of Breakfast sofa totty was doing Strictly. You could see he had rhythm, and he's obviously one of those people whose instinct is to start moving when the music strikes up, and in the first group dance I couldn't take my eyes off him. Now I cringe every time he opens his mouth.

Last night on ITT we had one 'Can I say' and one 'Can I just say' and I realised that you just have to scratch that buff and sexy exterior and you find Peter Andre!

And Kevin had a 'this girl' - although sadly Louise didn't eyeroll, I'm 42, Kevin

You too, huh?

Actually, I did once drink one on its own. My late, and incredibly stingy, in laws once asked me if I'd like one at Christmas. As soon as I'd finished it, my glass was taken away and washed up so I knew I wasn't getting another.

It's not quite the same without a bitch-along, is it?


Ow!

Don't even joke about that, not now when we've only just got the place back *loves it dearly, even the smelly bits*


Really disliked how that was all about TTF, not Louise. And then her husband, while trying to pitch her, spent his time on TTF and his pink rosette. Honestly, it's no wonder the woman is the way she is (assuming it's not a clever, appeal-to-the-voters persona...)


... you didn't actually expect it to change, did you? was supposed to go, and is still here!

I came up with a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine during the combined length of Louise's dances last week.

Er, she doesn't represent me (although my hubby isn't exactly well paid, he makes enough for us to get by). Cloudier, Ed and Naga/Greg have had my votes thus far. Danny will get them in the final as i've enjoyed his dances more than the other two this year.

I think I might do the same.
I am genuinely torn between watching Oti swoop to victory, scattering Cliftons in her wake, or trying to endure the horror of Kevin's most triumphant sex face from behind a cushion.



I was quite fond of pre-Strictly Ore, but the dancing, sobbing, fake humble Ore is just a massive pain in the arse.
I think that he and Joanne have been given the same script as Anita and Gleb had last year. Both Anita and Ore were touted as never EVER having moved about to music ever before, and some of Joanne's gusset wafting choreography has more than a smidge of a Gleb special about it.

I am going to use this thing to buggery until the mods confiscate it.

So that's all of them voting for Danny

Hot Ore has become Wet Ore and it's sad

Also <waves> just in case Ore reads here - because his Thursday ITT interview had him saying that there is a point in every dance where he and Jwann look at each other and smile.

Nope, Wet Ore - think you'll find it's Danny and Oti that have first dibs on that one

Highly unappreciate that yesterday's ITT was one big shout out ... and DS was not accepting incoming calls

I know! Such a relief! Only way to get through an evening with the Cliftons is heavily sedated in a sea of red wine, and pepped up with the sharp tongued wit of the DOTs. Ain't no other way.

It was a truly daunting prospect....

How about Stone's ginger wine???

A company Christmas party once served babycham and brandy cocktails all evening. The hangover was excruciating. Too risque for Loulou.

Only on a very cold day with lots of whisky.

A bit too hot and spicy for Louise.

Perhaps she might be allowed a very small glass of Wincarnis on special occasions

He is now insufferable. Officially. Even the sound muted to erase the pontificating pomposity and the cloying simpering expression of poorly concealed self adulation is not enough. How can anyone fall for that?????

Oh, and has he mentioned he's NDB....

well this over 60 is and has all the way.
