The keys aren't right on the keyboard.

I think maybe it's two pictures joined - certainly hope so.

DD, Korky et tu Polly--- You're quite cruel really aren't you.

I have no emojis
It won't let me attach my beloved pics and gifs.
I am bereft
And you want me to, nay instruct me to do limericks.
Oh liquorice sticks👅👅👅

That's good that CBC has been rewarded


A little bit of Final homework from me.

http://aliona-vilani.org/2015/12/19/champions/

Know I've posted this before, from katt's lovely site.

It's really interesting to keep watching after J and A are presented the Glitter Ball. Can see how friendly the 2015 group were. K or K congratulated J and A as you can see J acknowledge it. Later on when the credits are rolling can see Georgia walk firmly up to J to tap him on the shoulder to congratulate him - it's hard to see but can see J pick both A and Georgia up. Later on Giovanni holds his hands on J's face. The whole thing - with the Pros lifting J up, Tristan hugging Aliona and everyone jumping in a circle - looks so good natured.

I just think it all looks so happy.


Bit more on Big. Do you think DVO might play his Mum - as the Mother of a 12 year old boy would be quite young? She's tall too, so would look fine as J's Mum.

Though DVO not entirely my cup of tea, she's an experienced West End performer and Gary Willmot is very experienced in top class Musicals.

It all looks good if it's correct.

ETA Gosh, I like that photo of Big


PS hannah everything is the same for me - links, Smilies

*waves* to MgG27
Hope things get better jnb, everything crossed

So I think I will take up photography!!!


ETA thanks Fred. I'm trying to attach a screen cap of what my screen looks like but no joy.

Sorry peeps gotta go.

Much love to all.

I am slipping- took me a good few minutes to remember where the 'you're quite cruel ' came from!!!

McG - such a book or blog would indeed be '50 shades of Jay'!

Korky- also not a huge DVO fan.

ETA - can't sleep, hence posts etc. Pity as early start tomorrow.

Waves to jayfan!
You have a good night!

On the up then, with lots to look forward to...you know I have tix for MK now?

So the main roles are cast...really pleased with Gary...he's a seasoned WE performer who, hopefully, will be a good role model, if not mentor, to Jay. Less pleased with DVO... but I'll reserve judgement as I only saw her in one show...she may be great in BIG...hope so.

That's the smile I want to see, though......don't seem to have seen it for a while

Waves to Fred!
I'm here daily. I don't always have anything to say.

Know what you mean, speedy, but DVO is at least a "name" and would attract an audience to complement those interested in J.....got to get those bums on seats

You're right on both counts Lindy. ..this is sooo exciting!!!

It is!!! And yet sadly I have to sleep .....

Night speedy, night all 💤💤💤

Lindy xx

A young boy called Josh was delightful
And his visit to Zoltar quite spriteful
He became a young man
Which was not really the plan
So Josh the man changed to boy as is rightful

Night night Lindy.
Off to enjoy Jay singing via YT now...

Whiffle will repost at 7.00 - 7.30pm on Friday ( as I'm off gadding for a little bit ) StrictlyRed is reserve in case Whiffle gets distracted by J coming to tea - you never know he may turn up at StrictlyRed's house too

Jay, the man, is always so charming
As he danced he could be alarming
Now he takes to the stage
The audience will gauge
His performance to be so disarming.

Everyone else asleep?

As you were then.....

"Gary Wilmot, Denise Van Outen, Diana Vickers and Irwin Sparkes (former lead singer of The Hoosiers), who join Jay McGuiness in the musical version of the old Tom Hanks movie Big."
Scroll down nearly to bottom of article page. It's just above the photo of Jay and Gary on the keyboard which BazBam tweeted earlier.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ect-storm.html

So Diana Vickers playing Jay's girlfriend and Denise his Mum then ? Diana is a year younger than Jay, and a pretty girl - sounds great for the role Or maybe someone slightly older might have worked better to make the age difference from the character of Josh more believable ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Vickers

Remember Diana Vickers from X Factor and Little Voice.
Quite like her.
Really like the guy from the Hoosiers.

ETA
BazBam says that it will only transfer to the West End if successful, as we have already discussed.
It is not guaranteed.

Spidey senses were working last night, fellow Jalionistas, looks like our sleuthing way back when we noticed J following DVO and Gary WIlmott were right!

Diana was about 4th in the X Factor and has been in several successful WE musicals since then.
