*waits to see what job Korky applies for next when she notices the position of his "free" hand*

Hmmm... He's finishing adjusting the perforated bung in my air gap at present but he could be available very soon.

Thank you soon much DD for posting the link to the Spin interview. I thought I had missed it.
Also: Thank you for the Match result while I was away

My favourite Pringle (and crisp) is Salt & Vinegar - haven't tried with hummus - but will now


Well Jay is up to date with his Guinness ingredients - I did wonder if Guinness had replied to his tweet. Glad to know that it is now a veg friendly drink


Yes loved the interview - comes across so well and is very charming and funny.

BTW - am now 20 pages behind...have done a lot of reading past few days.
Also Danceagogo: Your tennis event with Tim Henman and the others sounds like it was great.
BB - Thanks for posting the Lorraine interview with DVO - thought I had missed that too
Spreathen : Sorry to hear about your fall - hope those bruises heal soon.

Off to my bed now..had busy day..been lots of interesting reading while I was away.
Nite All!!

I was wondering where you were, DD. If I ever disappear it will be due to a faulty Internet connection. It's a bit temperamental but so far has come back within 10 minutes or so.

Great Jaypic! 😍📖😍

Goodnight Polly and all other retirers. 😴

Maybe Page Turner as I would be holding his errant hand tightly while he reads.

Oh well can't sleep so browsing YouTube
Just found a lovely interview of TW, lots of Jay singing and talking. I am sure it's probably been posted here before but I don't remember all of it. If anyone one can find it, it is The Wanted Live Chat - Oct 24, 2011.

A few musings - sorry won't let me multiquote.

Was barely aware of TW before Strictly - knew of J a bit. Have learnt more about TW on this thread from interviews, though don't go very deep. Agree with jayfan that a 'put together' group would be lucky to stay together indefinitely.

Agree too with Agrion that Nathan seems different in some ways. Being younger would make a difference at the beginning as he couldn't socialise. He'll have a different outlook as he went to stage school from quite a young age - the same one as Kellie? Have read he did Music A Level whilst touring in the early days. Remember seeing an interview, just after his operation, where the others joked about not needing him - and Nathan looked upset for a second. I do think he has a good voice - think they all do - and yours is super J!

Love to hear the TW sing acoustically or acapella - something I've learned from this thread

Though The Wanted Life isn't for me, it gained 1 million+ viewers, so perhaps it gave them a bit of a financial base? Have no idea on TW finances - that's their business - but they seem, as someone put it, to have a 'few more pennies' than most people in their 20's, so seem to have the freedom to be a bit more flexible in what they do and where they live. (Am not suggesting they're millionaires! )


J in the USA? He said to Jayfan (was it you? ) on the Strictly Tour that he lived in the USA, he's lived there for several years and nipped home every so often (got sunburn from building a wall for CBC - think he'd forgotten the UK can be sunny ), he said last autumn that however he did in Strictly he'd stay here until Christmas - which implied he'd go back for a while at least.

I wonder if J hadn't done so well in Strictly and hadn't been paired with A and if his family hadn't got on so well with A and V as they do that J might have gone back to the USA and just visited here occasionally as before. He seems to have built a life there - and as Lola and ahouch have said, he's perhaps gone back to TW support network there in preparation for his busy Autumn and Winter back here!


Been watching an interesting TV programme on dancing Swan Lake. Someone has said - sorry, can't remember who - that J would be great in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake. Gosh, he would too! . Wonder though, if to dance at that level you'd not have time to do anything else - and J loves to sing too .


Several people have said that the success of J and A has probably caught them all by surprise - and don't think that last year J expected to win or even get near the end of Strictly , so suspect all plans have changed since last year - in a very good way! .

Isn't that where they demonstrate how ticklish Jay is?

Just reposting the Amnesty homework from last week - double post, but I don't care - before the next bit tomorrow. I'll put in the post Strictly interviews too.


spreeathen hope you feel better soon
jnb loved that little clip of your lovely boy. Always have the urge to tickle a horse's tummy when they do that - I know it's not a good idea - as they look so sweet

Korky you are naughty
Glad you had an enjoyable time agrion
Have voted hannah
Drizzle wonder who we'll get next year? Have watched Strictly keenly from the beginning and haven't ever been as involved as I was this year with J and A's dancing
Glad to see you back DD
Thanks for the songs Spree and for saving me from a double post

Just going to check my spelling then off to bed.

ETA putting 'ticket' instead of 'tickle' danceagogo

😄What spelling were you checking Fred? 😍😆

POLLY

Just wanted to confirm the tennis with Tim et al was indeed great. Super day out.

Glad you enjoyed your hols 🎾👏

Just to add to Nathan's Music A Level.

The qualifications at MADD are at quite a high level and include theoretical topics like Theatre Studies. Not sure which qualification J did, but they're not 'light' ones at all.

Off to bed now.

Spelling all checked danceagogo

Aliona retweeted this cute elephant BFF tweet


So cute. So OT. But hey it is cute

Be a good cat, Korky. Do the right thing. Send him over to jnb to help with her sleepless nights. Please.

Thanks Spree
I remember seeing the tickling clip before but not most of the rest. He is very relaxed in this interview and 'in charge'.

Good news! The drain down hose fits a treat so he'll be free tonight for a couple of hours!!!

Oooh, a tall, bibliophilic, funny, curly, relaxed, hugely-talented, witty, odd-jobs-doing, bookwormy romantic dancer 'in charge'... 💕💞😍💞💕

Getting JayWithdrawal symptons (not that sort Korky - I wish!)
No tweet and almost no sightings for a week......meh

PS I did sleep till 5am. Have to go and fetch Becks things and the horse box on Sunday. Not looking forward, bittersweet

Yes, a tweet from our Jaybird is much needed, especially to brighten up this dreary weather.

Will be thinking of you on Sunday, Janet. Hugs. xx

Sending you a {{{{{{{{big hug }}}}}}}}}

Caught up with your lovely video of Becks rolling about then behaving like a lamb. Wonderful.😊

Great idea to post it again Tsuntsu in case anyone missed the link when DD had posted it.
It is such a lovely interview - I was smiling while listening to it last night


I hadn't seen that tweet - thanks for posting DD -
Very prophetic indeed!


It is - I am going to post my 4 at the end (but could add more) to make it easier for Whiffle to add to her list

[quote=jnb_7;82707618]
BIB1 - Please keep posting Huph - it is just an exchange of opinions and it makes it more interesting to hear all the different views
BIB2 Jnb Please mention Becks for as long as you wish or feel the need to. Becks was (still is) the Thread Pet. It struck me while catching up how many people, who haven't posted here for a long time, took the time to contact you here to express their sympathy to you. I think that is a measure of how we had all taken Becks into our hearts.
Take care and will be thinking of you on Sunday

Keep Dancing Choices - PollyT

Waltz (because it was just magical -adored it)
Salsa (it was fun, brilliant lifts and all the fudges were positive that week)
Quick Step (to a totally different song- just because I thought Jay was great at it
in Quickstepthon)
Tango (Because they 'danced as one' - loved it)

(Paso is a given so not adding to my list and am soo looking forward to it
___________________________________________
Ok cheating slightly

Standbys
Charleston (Loved this too - such a happy fast dance)
Argentine Tango (Without the wolf outfit - want to see Jays face )

Would love to see but were in Tour
Jive (I don't even have to explain why - do I?)
Rumba (Such a moving dance)

I keep meaning to say - I love Cedric Pioline!


Don't let the Stitch and Twitch see this (you know who you are)

Btw, Voted for Strictly, miss. A couple of others in there I like but Dancing on Ice isn't on any more and they've split the Masterchefs up. Otherwise, by and large not my cup of tea.


Isn't he just! And every time I listen to them, the only voice that makes me look up is Jay's, definitely the best or at least the most appealing to me


I know - but the poor lad's entitled to a bit of privacy occasionally, if only to escape from Korky's ministrations

You know we will be with you on Sunday. Bon courage. (((()))))

That's it! I have been wondering what I would like to see them dance in the KD show, and needed to think of a bit of contemporary dance that most people would know. The Black Swan scene would suit J&A well - Jay as the swan and Aliona as the Queen. They'd have to license it though...but Matthew Bourne likes Jay's dancing.

Other than that I would vote for:-

Waltz
Tango
Charleston

So no surprises there

Hi Jayfan

I don't see nearly as much dance as I used to either, now living in the sticks with children and no family close enough to babysit - but am lucky as OH will watch modern dance as he loves electronic music. And AJ will watch whatever modern dance comes our way (not a lot). Wouldn't get either of them to classical ballet or a musical though!

I think that TW were never a typical boy band really, although their management tried hard to make them one at times. But they had 5 very talented individuals who had their own ideas about what they wanted (sorry!) and in the end it was bound to fall apart as they grew up, like most young bands. I enjoyed watching the fun they had together, and I think underneath the teasing there was a genuine respect for each other which has lasted between the older four, who still see each other as friends. And if they don't see Nathan much, at least they don't badmouth him in the press. Its a better end point than most bands!

BIB: I was right! He's had so many tequila shots yesterday, I bet the hangover is killing him I'll be posting the pics and videos on mcguinessdaily throught today, saturday and sunday (otherwise, I won't hae anything to update the site with )

PS: Peru is playing tonight and if we don't win I will cry.
