I miss the feeling of support we had then. I was very hurt recently that there was little response when I asked if anyone wanted my KD tickets for free, thank you to those who did pm and respond.
Anyway guess I'm crying for the moon (or most people have me on user ignore, I know there are plenty of influential members who don't like me for whatever reason).

Such is life.
.”

Your adventures in Squashy Sofa Land gave cheer to many of us, and made us laugh, and laugh. Thank you for providing us with such fun. As others have said, it was a very welcome joy at the time.
I'm sorry that you felt hurt at the little response to your very kind offer of free tickets to KD. As I said, previously on the thread, I was seriously wishing that I could go to KD Edinburgh. Unfortunately, it's not possible for me, at this time. I honestly thought that you would be flooded with requests for them, so I didn't want to clog your inbox, with a rather unhelpful post, stating why I was unable to take you up on your generous offer. I wish, now, that I had responded. At least you would have known that one more person had appreciated your gesture. Sorry for that oversight....
I'm sorry, also, that you are having problems with Ruari's stabling facility, at a time when you are in such pain. Please know, that you have many good wishes, and positive thoughts coming your way, from your friends on this thread. These include good wishes, that your employment position develops, into all that you hoped it would be.
As for influential people on this thread not liking you. I'm not aware of who these influential people are (or that there are, in fact, any influential people, as such), and can't imagine why anyone would not like you: much less put you on 'ignore'.
I do hope that you continue to keep in touch with us all here, in the knowledge that there are many of us willing you on, to a successful and pain-free future.

Yes, he is, absolutely. And as you say, it's great being able to tag along on his journey with Aliona and into the future for both of them. This place is a glittery godsend to escape to in challenging times, and long may it be so. Logging on I feel that little sprinkle of stardust that comes at the end of the BIG The Musical trailer, it's lovely to see and support someone making their way in a difficult world, spreading goodwill wherever he treads. May life always be as kind to him as he is to others.

I owe them thanks. They popped up in Strictly at just the right time for me, when there were sad things going on in real life, and they provided that little bit of joy and beauty that helps you through the darker times. They brought to me a much greater appreciation of dance in general, too.

Looking forward to continuing to follow lovely Jay in all that he is doing, now - we need people like him, a little beacon of sweet, thoughtful humility in a sea of ego and arrogance.

Hope we get to hear a little about Aliona, too, as the family grows - may she and Vin have a passle of little 'uns and a sunny future in Florida!”

👍👍👍 eloquently put Cat09

So sorry to hear this jnb . I remember giggling away at your adventures in Squashy Sofa land. Hopefully things will pick up soon for you & you get to have your BIG Dublin adventure.

What a lovely post, BB. I agree with every word. I think Jay himself is a "glittery godsend".

Sounds like a bit of an in-joke to me. They all seem to get on pretty well, and maybe Jay's bemoaning that his voice is still a bit croaky when there's the soundtrack to record?

Yes, StrictlyRed and Korky. I very much agree with all the above.....

ETA. Also your response, BB, in which you expressed similar sentiments. It's lovely to see one of life's 'good guys' being so successful, and being so justly rewarded. Long may it continue....together with this thread...

And there it is, another example of the type of dig from one of the self appointed, that turns people off this thread.
Cue "oh I Didn't mean you"
Or ignoring
Or "you're too sensitive"

And before anyone rushes to slap me down I've had a few pm about exactly this so it's not just me

You wanted to know about Becks, meeting Jay, the tour, KD, BIG. But have no time for actual me.
I'd like to think I shared my experiences on tour, KD, and that they were welcome. I was so happy and excited to do so but if you don't like me or my life please either PM and we can have a frank discussion. Or ignore.
Please don't make snidey insinuations. Tell me what your problem is & we can talk direct or let it pass.
But I won't just keep taking backhanded digs anymore I've had enough

Everyone else .... peace & love & JayHugs x

Enough, jnb_7. This is a friendly, open and happy place, which, as far as I am aware, welcomes everyone. It doesn't pay to make assumptions about what others may, or may not, think: especially when we don't have the luxury of visual cues, that face-to-face contact provides. What we focus on expands. Why not focus on the people who love and care for you....and of course Jay, and his stellar progress? How much nicer it would be, when that expanded so much, that all your doubts and fears, are squeezed out.

I can only agree with all the other posts today about Jay, Aliona and this thread. I think the fact that this thread is still going strong and has so many posts and views illustrates that Jay and Aliona's partnership last year found a lot of people at exactly the right time! None of the other current AT's has the same level of support. It's a shame that they won't be dancing together again for a while, but who knows what will happen in the future?

Janet - I'm so sorry that life is still kicking you and in particular that you are feeling 'got at' on here. I'm sure most of us have been guilty of bringing our miseries to the thread at one point or another (to my mind that is what has made it a supportive and nice place to come to) and also guilty of getting up someone's nose (intentionally or otherwise!). On that basis, most of us would be out of here. Like life generally, you often have to be selective about what you listen to.....

Just remember that there are more people on here who miss you and all your adventures than there are who don't want to hear about them.

I thought it was us who had Jay as a 6ft 31/2 in invisible friend instead of a rabbit.

PS. Siva has tweeted a nice response to Jay's birthday message.

ETA - not sure whether to come back on and say that that was not intended as a double entendre or whether it makes it worse that I have just realised that it was. Where's the manager of the double entendre when you need her?! I'll go away quietly and continue defrosting the freezer.

Oh dear, I sat and looked, and looked and wondered what the double entendre could be...... where's a 6ft jive bunny when you need one?
