Thanks!
![]() Maybe my timing/counting is part of my problem with poems? I've only just caught on that I should have written princesses instead of princess! ![]()

Lola expressed one view, Rosa expressed another. Two differing views, which is fine because this is a forum where everyone's view has equal validity.

Excuse me? Just because I didn't agree with your comment I suddenly have a problem with you? Wow, alright.
Your explanation is the main point of my reply. He doesn't follow the tweets of every person he follows, let alone the ones he doesn't follow. If someone wants to tweet him asking for a follow, it's their choice and their problem. And your comment did give me bitter vibes, that's why I said so. Sorry if it wasn't. Thank you. |

What is wrong with asking for a follow, honestly? Some of his fans are just not interested in politics, probably. On the other hand, I searched for the replies after reading this and can't find any that say "please follow me", but oh well. Let's leave the bitterness away
![]() Sort of OT, but I'm sad that Jay didn't get back to the UK for his birthday. I was hoping on a Tom/Max/Jay reunion. Although Max is now in the US again, so hopefully they can hang around before he goes back to the UK. I'm a bit lost with the dates... when does KD start? I know rehearsals already started but what would be the last day that Jay could join those rehearsals in your opinion? ![]() I am glad he enjoyed his birthday with all his friends and family |

Good pick on the relevance to Jay, DD - he is like that!
![]() I felt a bit like I should have a go at some poetry after accidentally ending up on the list, so here's what I came up with. An American nomad with princess hair meets with a crossroads to who knows where? Life without purpose is free, unfulfilling. Life to be judged – a risk if he’s willing. A destiny withered from years of desert, seeking the source from which to revert. Water – like she who pours cross the floor - the fountain of life for this troubadour? Together the path for the future is set - shoot for the stars and have no regret. Uncertain at first, transformed in a Waltz, alchemy generates, tradition assaults. Stick to the script or wander off piste? Indomitable spirits are being released. Follow their path, and dance how they feel, thoughts are united, their bond they anneal. To exit, they’ve chosen to make their own ends - both leaving together, and staying as friends. Yet after it all, it’s confirmed that they won - a message from others to tell them - Well done! Isih - what a monumental undertaking! Thank you |

If anyone is interested in TTIP, then 38 degrees and the greens have been campaigning against it for some years. They were making some headway with MEPs but now we have Brexit its likely the Conservatives will sign, as they have supported it from the beginning. Apologies for bringing politics in here!
38 degrees have been beating the drum about TTIP for well over a year, a subject that has only recently been picked up by mainstream media, much to their shame. It's one of those apparently insignificant 'deals' that could actually change everything...including our NHS. It's been kept very low key by those involved. Had a big day, I'm gong to bed because I feel I should...not tired. |

As to when Jay may be home, I'd say they really need at least three weeks of rehearsal, and the first night of KD is 6th September.
So I'd say next Monday or pushing to the absolute limit, the Monday after that.

So fades the day
Day turns to night Night brings the words Words I must write Write till they're out Out from the soul Soul sometimes dark Dark out of control Control is forsaken Forsaken again Again sift the thoughts Thoughts never wane Wane not in dreams Dreams often stark Stark in their power Power can spark Spark new feelings Feelings turn to rhyme Rhyme till the dawn Dawn ousts nighttime... |

First rehearsal will leave him so sore, I just know that hahaha. Good thing he's quick at catching up, but after that, there'll be BIG rehearsals, so the guy needs to stay more awake than ever

i enjoyed the poem as I read it, but that interpretation works too. So that makes it a doubly excellent piece in my view. Bravo, Fatskia!

Had a big day, I'm gong to bed because I feel I should...not tired. Anyway, back on topic - J is very interested in USA politics it seems. Don't think he's made many tweets about UK politics? Suppose he could have American citizenship, it's possible to do so and keep your British citizenship. Mind you, many people who work in entertainment live and work in the USA without taking citizenship, so maybe not. Wouldn't be surprised if he's not back here in the UK already - under the radar. Don't think he'll need much rehearsal if he kept up his fitness - more or less ![]() I know we say he wasn't as fit before Strictly, but he couldn't have done that epic Jive - up on his toes, at speed - just a few weeks in if he'd been very unfit? Though, I do remember his comment on Alan Carr - 'What was I thinking of?' Don't blame him for having a long break - he's going to be working flat out from the end of August until at least the end of January - and maybe longer if Big goes to the West End. Then he'll need another break. ![]() Bit ironic as hannah says. ETA - thank you for your list of the J and A 'dance' words or phrases Ano which dance to choose if only one?? On the Tour I'll always remember J and A coming towards me doing the amazing kick ball changes in the Jive ![]() Love the first Waltz where I first really appreciated the J and A partnership ![]() But for my favourite - can't decide between last Red Paso (with Green music, thanks to Agrion?) and the Tango. So Beth, I agree with you Isih, you do such a brilliant job, thank you for the wonderful lists and as Whiffle says, the pie chart is epic And you got it on page 200 so it'll be easy to find ![]() Super!! Fred the Real Dog says thank you for putting him on the chart. Seconded for Whiffle for job of upskilling the thread. ![]() Think DD has done some too? Thanks to DD for the brilliant job of collating the poems with the photos thank you. I could easily access your alternative way of posting it. Fatskia - super poem and so well expressed It work so well. Love the phrase 'princess hair'. To second Korky, Bravo! OT does anyone else like the BBC's Olympic trailer with the synchronised diving alligators? Have been watching Tom Daley on TV, but will have to give up as falling asleep *Waves* to kmelly |

Thanks Red. Saved me trawling backwards for ages.
Loved the review BB and hope you didn't burn the ironing while FFing!! Completely OT, but am getting so excited about Rio. Just a tart for the Olympics especially the athletics.

Speedy, Agrion One reason the TTIP negotiations were taking so long was that the EU was trying to put in protection for the NHS and other European health services from the USA health industry. Whether we'd be strong enough just on our own to do it, I don't know. ✔

Yet again you have said everything I was thinking so I have put big fat red ticks because my eye hand co-ordination is fast deteriorating tonight for some reason. (And now I can't spell. Pah.) Well look at that, I ticked everything. Yay. Night to anybody going to Bedfordshire. I'm continuing on through the witching hour 😜 |
