Hi Strictly I was confused too, then I realized that the thread was missing. We just post on so many different threads, bound to get confused.

I love this thread too much to reply further, I'll keep my posted observations to celebs and pros

That did actually cross my mind for a bit - thought I was going mad


Evening

Yes - that's what threw me, Sarah as they usually just lock them. Ah well. Let's just be thankful it got deleted and we aren't all going insane and thinking we posted on a post that didn't exist


Not a single self righteous view in my post. We are all guilty of what I said (some more than others) myself included. I have learned to have discussions without being rude or making nasty comments towards other posters - all stemming back to my misuse of the word 'hater' and how much easier the interaction was when myself and Sarah, managed to settle the 'issue' without snide or rude posts. It costs nothing to be polite and respect other people's opinions.


That's why I didn't hold my breath

As I said - possibly in the thread that is no more - nothing brings out the Mod Stick of Big Ban and a trip the norty step quicker than a post which is unduly personal. The Mods aren't daft - they have seen enough passive aggressive use of poor little and are able to pick up on sly digs.

Best advice I've had is don't think your clever and able to get one over on them. By and large you aren't and you can't. The times I've typed out a reply, left it a couple of minutes and read it back and thought yikes - nah, best not ... s'not worth it to risk a period of inactivity ...

(Also, just because one person (generic, the proverbial stick person of anonymity) thinks the sunshines out of another persons whatsit, doesn't mean that everyone else does or has to. It also doesn't make you right or them wrong - or vice versa. It just means a difference of opinion that is free to be debated on the main forum provided the prime directive is maintained. And if my 10 year old self is listening, think on. It is acceptable to prefer Osmond to Cassidy and will not affect a long standing friendship. Right I'll shut up now )

Morning ladies

Just been looking at the BBC Celeb Masterchef website Sarah and Gleb's heat will be shown next week, Episode 7, Thursday 14th.

Great BAT backstage clips on Pixie's twitter, one with Matt Barber.

Links to Masterchef episode guides for Gleb's heat next week.

Episode 7, Thursday 14th July, 8pm

Episode 8, Friday 15th July, 8.30pm

Thanks for this. I don't follow Pixie on Twitter, so it will lovely to watch the clips, having seen the show.

Good afternoon Ochre. Thanks for that. Next week's line up looks really good.
I don't follow Pixie, but I will pop in and see the pictures. I don't follow any celebrities,
just normal people and a few politicians.

I love the way you say normal people and politicians

Very wise. I want you here for the next series of SCD Unfortunately I missed the drama! There will be another bout I'm sure!

Probably😢. Great photos of Pixie Ochre 😀

BIB That made me giggle too...I won't ask where you'd rate all of us on the normality scale Sarah, I'll class myself as off the scale bonkers straightaway


I'll be here I was trying to defend the Glebster and his straight talking



Hope you both enjoyed them, Pixie's twitter is great for links. She seems to be enjoying the start of her West End run.

Interesting and entertaining interview with Gleb in CelebsNow (accompanied by some rather nice photos)

He's such a flirt On his Strictly departure Gleb does say he'd hoped to be back in among stating it was his decision. He's asked repeatedly about Len but is (I believe) genuinely complimentary and makes clear what his aims were when choreographing for Anita. Gleb says some lovely things about Kristina who he and particularly Elena are close to and also discusses Masterchef.

Do you have a signature dish you woo a lady with?

‘(Laughs) Let’s say that I’d probably dance!’

Alesha and Bruno together at Wimbledon

Alesha's so beautiful, she doesn't age at all.

Morning Ochre, isn't she just?

And she's going back to her 'normal' hair colour - hurray . Much better than that blonde That looks to be growing out <fingers crossed>. Would love to have been a fly on the wall for that catch up -imagine the gossip

Ah, Gleb - stop making me like you

Hi Ochre. Thanks for that. Really good interview. I hope he got through to the semifinal or next week will be that last time we see him on TV.

He's done it!! Andy Murray, two time Wimbledon champion

Incredible. Judy looks very proud

Hi Sarah I'm not sure whether Gleb did get through going on that interview...maybe he's teasing us

Really sad. Here we were so excited that we had nearly 4 months of Gleb and now might only be one week. Nooooooo, first time in my life, I might need therapy.

Me too Looking forward to Thursday.

Yay Well done Andy. Nice to see Pixie there yesterday looking lovely as well.

Morning All!

Hi Lou

Fab photos of Pixie at Wimbledon on her Instagram including one with Judy. Love Pixie's striped Wimbledon glasses

Joanne and Anton dancing to Josh Groban singing 'Over the Rainbow'.
