Lovely words again, Korky

Not quite in the same class, but here's one I posted earlier.....


It's Final Night at Strictly, and Ore's spent every spare moment of the last three months trying to redeem the crime-against-jive so he can wow everybody with something spontaneous. He's now pointing his toes so perfectly he inadvertently impales Len in the Lens, and they both end up in tears. Len's sobbing so hard his script looks like a Jackson Pollock and his quips are all squiggly.

Darcey's hyperventilating so much she blows Bruno's wig off and he tries to escape by falling off his chair but can't because Len has glued his seat. There's a loud rip as his trousers part company with his Babbo de Natale shreddies, and Craig's laughing so much his Botox explodes into Claudia's cleavage.

Louise is thrilled to be performing One Moment in Time balanced on a fireplace dressed as a cuckoo clock, and executes a perfectly beige backflip right into Kevin's Big Ben, forcing his big hands to stick on five past twelve so nobody can stop him bonging until lunchtime Sunday. Security won't let either of them into the after party as nobody can clear her cuckoo.

Meanwhile, Kevin, still bonging, tips against the controls of the fiery rain for Danny and Oti's show dance, which goes off all over Dave Arch setting fire to his baton. Waving frantically to put it out, the rest of the orchestra take this as their cue to up the beat and the entire dance is done in double quick time. Quick-thinking Tess takes ten minutes to locate the fire extinguisher which goes off the wrong way and covers the judges in foam, leaving them frantically groping for their paddles which have all been switched to tens by ........

…well, you might say but I couldn't possibly comment.


Just off to watch DD's video now.

Hi all an OT post but just trying to cheer myself up reading the forum but not working tonight. On my own in a B&B a very long way from home after the funeral of a very dear friend and realising that I met him when we were younger than Jay. We've had many adventures together and have said a long slow goodbye. Sorry to be a misery, please ignore me, I will be more positive tomorrow

So sorry to hear that, Agrion. You need a bit of Jaybird to take your mind off things!

Just looked in and saw this.
It's ok to be miserable with just cause and sometimes it's quite nice to write about it into the ether so to speak.
Many of us identify with your sentiments.
Have a good tomorrow x

So hard to lose a friend Agrion

This fading light
Just isn't right
It's come too soon
to end our tune
But didn't we just
Laugh till we bust?
And chewed the fat
About this and that
Or argued long
(Neither of us wrong)
Now it doesn't seem fair
That you're not there
So stay in my mind
As you leave me behind
And make me smile
Every once in awhile

I hope your sympathetic words bring some comfort to Agrion, BB.

I find a little consolation in: Do not grieve too much that he is gone but feel fortunate that he was here.

Press Night tonight for BIG in Dublin seems, so far, to have gone really well, judging from the very positive tweets from some of those who attended tonight (🇮🇪radio,TV& Press) Having seen it I am not surprised but, then, with the Press you can never be sure...so by the looks of comments so far..why was I even a tad worried??
So happy for Jay !”

Hi Polly-T. Tried to reply but DS update had started!

Really happy to be heading for warmer climes but, selfishly, I'm still a tad envious of those coming to see Big in Dublin. Just keeping fingers, toes, eyes and everything else that I can crossed for the West End!

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.”

A rendezvous is definitely on the cards!

Jellymum is usually pretty even-keeled about fudging manipulation but is very irritated this year. She can't believe they didn't learn their lesson last year!

Thanks all for the pics, poems etc.

jnb lovely interview Deise posted on Twitter. Thanks to both of you.

Agrion so sorry you've had to say goodbye to your friend. Thoughts are with you.

Sounds like another great night! If the CD is anything to go by, I'm not at all surprised. Can't wait for the West End.

Disgusting and blatant promotion of the Cliftons on BBC Breakfast this morning. So if they don't manage to fiddle the vote sufficiently, Danny and Oti will win hands down, despite being the best dancers in the show!

And it's goodbye to Len. Take the lens cover off and close the door as you leave, there's a good lad. I used to respect your judgement, but you don't deserve it and won't be missed.

BB - loved your post about the final, it really made me laugh, but keep taking the tablets and don’t mix guinness with them

I have an admission to make, one that has been weighing heavily on me for some time now. I know that I am going to get drummed out of Brownies and Sunday School and tutted about and probably tweeted about, but the time has come to admit my dreadful secret...I don’t really like Musical Theatre that much and I have never, ever in my life listened to a soundtrack unless Madame Butterfly counts. However, this morning I have listened to the Big soundtrack, well ok I may have skipped over a few tracks as I’m not overstruck on the stage-school type slightly screechy singing of some, and it won’t be on repeat in the car but wow, what a revelation Jay’s voice. Why, oh why wasn’t he used more in TW, he really needs to be snapped up by someone as a solo artist, I could listen to just his singing voice on repeat in the car. Maybe, hopefully, when he finishes in Big he will be persuaded to do an album of just him - we can but dream.

And now I will don my invisibility cloak and disappear into the darkness before I get lynched

Peeks out from under her cloak, it's really grey and dismal here so to try and feel christmassy here is a bit of TW ...

Not getting lynched here

Love Jay's voice on the soundtrack - think his voice is getting better with age, too, as I think is often true with boybands (always thought Take That were better second time around ).

One of the things that struck me was that you can always hear him in the ensemble pieces, his voice is distinctive. It's like that Youtube clip of the Wanted in a radio station doing "Glad You Came" and Jay is missing at the beginning of it. The whole thing lacks depth and breadth until Jay joins in. He was the one who had the "different" voice

Yes, you an always tell, either when with TW or on the Big recording, when Jay is singing, his voice is really distinctive - in a good way. His voice sounds as though it has more depth to it now, occasionally in TW you could hear bits of it, usually when singing sort of off-piste bits, the Music Man video in the tent springs to mind. I think he will be like a fine wine - matures well

agrion Sympathy on your friends death. Hope you will be able to remember his life and the times you had together and not just the end and to smile.

jnb thanks for the link and to DD for posting the review.

BB What a wonderful final it would be. Definitely gave me the giggles. Don't know what you were on, but it did something!!

Thanks to all who post clips, pics and links assorted. BIG apologies for not being able to mention all by name, but I do appreciate them and hope that no one will feel left out.

Love and hugs

ETA Thanks or the spotify link Korky. Will now hear how young Mr McG is sounding these days.

Thank you, I enjoyed writing it!
You're absolutely right about Jay, and I know exactly the clip you're referring to - everything really goes up a gear when Jay comes back into the studio, it's like the tank's full and they're off like a rocket. I never felt that when they were singing without Nathan.

Jay's the one with perfect pitch, and I think that's what held them all together when they were singing a capella. He sings as he dances, with precision, depth and meaning. He absolutely inhabits the role of Josh, as so many have said, and a whisper from him is worth more than a thousand shouts from an MT 'pro' (and I don't mean Gary - he's always been great).

I haven't seen the show yet, but I bet you can hear a pin drop when he sings 'I want to go home'.


Thank you to CatO and TBird too.

Hello everyone!
So pleased we are back.
Didn't know what to do with myself! I had to do a whole load of useful Xmas jobs like writing cards and wrapping presents.

Haven't properly caught up but Agrion, so sorry to hear about your friend.

Thanks everyone for the links.

Really don't care who wins tonight as long as not Ore and Joanne but from social media, my money would be on Danny.

Anyway busy day today so see you all later.👍
