Thanks Korky.
Very nice way to start the day.
I think he looks lovely!

Hi JellyL
Sorry you won't be in Dublin. We will have to rendezvous again in the West End!
ETA Jellymum talks sense as always.

My OH has no interest in strictly and on a Saturday we are always in different rooms watching different televisions. I have made him watch the jive and tango and he does admit they are very good. I nearly always watch ITT though and OH reads the paper with headphones on to shut the sound out!
I do catch him looking up occasionally and last night they showed a clip of Danny and he said "He has no style". I was gobsmacked. I have always said I like Danny, I like watching him dance but he obviously isn't a Jay. I think that is the only comment he has ever made. Still shocked.

Wow!
I think your OH has really nailed the difference between two.

Kazzie has just posted a very interesting article from the Metro about the SCD final on Twitter.
The strings being pulled by TPTB are really there for all to see now.

Looks like the forums are up again now.

So please ...., didn't realise how much I miss reading all the posts on here

Have certainly become more efficient as I have not wasted as much of my time on here!

The forums went down in time to prevent anyone reporting back from Ireland BIG press night. Were there reviews?

and
It was press night I think last night. I have not seen any reviews but I think Daisey on twitter has had her fan review posted on ticket master. I will have along k fir the tweet. It was very succinct and very good

Thanks Korky - lovely reviews!

As a totally unbiased Jayficionado ( ) I fail to see how Big and/or Jay can have a poor review. Everything's right about it from casting, sets, songs, dances, acting, band arrangements, theme, costumes, lighting, pathos, humour, etc.

I've been most pleased at the way everyone, without exception, has praised his acting and charisma. Okay, so it's really immature, and I know Craig himself would, in real life, have been wishing Jay all the best, but *blows raspberries at Craig*

(And also that his dancing has been excellent - from a rather unsure Strictly comeback it sounds like he's recovered all of his old flair)

Yeah we're back ( not that I can see any difference )



Thanks Korky - lovely pics & reviews

Blank Canvas

Blank for my imagination
To let me paint at will
Choosing colours carefully
I'll paint you as I feel

I see you as a deep ocean
But not in shades of blue
And discover it's impossible
To mix the perfect hue

For me you are a sunrise
Though not in tones you'd expect
But a spectrum of colours
Swirling to interconnect

I realise with each brushstroke
The clear truth in my midst
That I need to paint you with colours
Which never can exist

It's exactly the same, and as jumpy as ever!

Where are the promised new emoticons?

Maybe there will be a big transfer to a new system soon.

Fluency and grace
Rich in beauty like your curls
Tangled up in you

💕

Soooo...what'd they do?

It's not been worth the techies' fees! I think they secretly went Christmas shopping instead...

I don't think there were any techy fees - DS have just been on a two day Christmas bender
🍸🎉🍾🎊🍹😷

BIB Me too. Although it's a double V sign from me ...

I've seen a couple of reviews that have been a little more lukewarm about the show than others (nothing bad, though) but even those have praised Jay. It's great.

Perhaps they all went to Dublin...

Found the Big cast recording on Spotify! You have to log in to hear all the tracks fully. 💕

He sings from his soul
Synchronises with my heart
Beat for beat for beat

Phenomenal!
