afternoon .... a lovely day here

hi anne, I'm looking forward to seeing Gio with someone else very much and I'm sure he'll get on with whoever his partner is .... yes there are a lot of changes this year which, I suppose, is a Good Thing but I did enjoy Strictly when all the old pros were there, eg Matthew, Vincent, Flavia, Darren, Lilia, Karen, Ian and Camilla .... will just have to reminisce by watching the fantastic "Rebel Yell" jive again


I didn't watch it and couldn't record it because our recorder is broken so, hopefully, it will be on i.player


maybe Bendy is actually one of the Strictly pro dancers


and you said you're the least funny person here, I completely disagree, you have a great sense of humour and Brian agrees with me (see below) so it must be true ..... that's an excellent summary of events in the Team GG thread over the last few days, but I wonder what anyone who's lurking will make of it


maybe you could be a part time Chief Ring Analyser as I don't want you to get really stressed, but you're too good at your job to give up

btw are you going to join my friend on her Kilimanjaro climb

penny I don't have Sky so didn't watch Don't Tell the Bride but it's a huge risk to ask the future groom to organise the wedding isn't it

tomorrow is my son and daughter in law's first wedding anniversary

and *hello* to FloraRose

Helloio everyone!



Nope, not guilty, not me, never.
In my costume department role I would only be there to quickly remove Gio's costumes in between dances !!! That is all !!!




Toooo much information Afton, just far tooo much hahahah



QUOTE ruby-tuesday
OK, here it is in writing *you can retire from your Chief Ring Analysis job* .....or maybe the other people on the thread won't let you


Ruby - No, Brian may not retire from his Chief Ring Analyser job without my permission
He can not retire until GG actually walk up that bl**dy aisle and a real wedding ring is put on Georgia's finger!!!!!





Brian's quote:-
From copying it into Google translate, this is exactly what I got:
"I would like to be known as the lover of John and not ' not an engagement ring ' Brian assistant"


Sorry Brian, I'm messing up everyone's quotes today, but I am glad you translated Afton's Italian phrase for me!! I don't understand it but it made me chuckle




Agreed Sandy.
Do GG not realise that some of us on this thread suffer from the terrible affliction called GGphotowithdrawalitus if we do not get the occasional pic????? This condition is very very serious indeed and can only be cured with a lovey dovey photo


Looking forward to seeing some pics of Gio at the chilli fest today. I doubt Georgia is with him if she was in Bristol last night, but you never know!!!

The hangover of hangovers for Georgia!

I thought that was very clever - top marks afton x[/quote]

Thanks Sandy. 😉 I kept dozing during Olympic opening ceremony too. 😳


Don't think it was you Sandy. Think it might have been me or Flora that messed it up first. Oooooops 😳


How bloody annoying is it sometimes. Argghhhhhh. Quite good though if you're being a lazy person 😉


Well that's what I'll call you now ninaninja. Sounds quite Italiano I think. Told you, don't worry about being arrested, we'll bail you out. Just don't make the ten o'clock news 😂😂


Ermm Brian that's just about right 😂😂

Glad you liked the summary. We really are a bunch on here. A bunch of what, I don't know but a nice bunch ❤️


Wicks don't think we ever got to hear what she was actually trying to say but (and this is in pigeon Italian) 🐦🐦 it sounded like Ben venucci dulce potato 😂😂 But Jenster is the translator so she might know. (If she's still talking to me after kicking her off the tanning team) 😂😂


?????????????? 🤔


Well done Sandy. Think your spot on here 👏🏻


And every person on this thread agrees with Sandy so if you're reading this, a few pics please


BIB 😂😂 you and me both patch 😂

Must have been a good party !

BIB 1. Well lucky you Jen. Because a few of the male pros go 'commando' a lot. 😂😂. You do know that a lot of their tops are like a leotard and when the top comes off, bottom comes off. Emmmmmm lightbulb moment 💡💡you obviously do and that's why you've applied for the job. Doh 😂

BIB2. Ahhhh but will it be a 'not a wedding ring one' to go with the 'not an engagement ring 1' or will it be a 'not a wedding ring two' to go with the 'not an engagement ring two' or will it be 'wedding ring one' to go with the 'it is engagement ring one' 💍💍

BIB 3. It should have translated from English to Italian I now wish to be known as Giovanni's mistress and not 'not an engagement ring' assistant to Brian 😂😂

Don't think 'chilli festival' and 'hangover' go well together 😂 🌶🌶 🍷🍷

Sign of a good night 😂

I agree with sandy we really, really, really, really need a new picture of you both GG pretty please!!

Georgia May Foote and Giovanni Pernice your public have spoken. Get a couple photo on ASAP please we are in serious need of cheering up. Xxx.

Aw, that's kind of you to say Ruby - my entirely incoherent analyses seem to be in high demand!

Kilimanjaro Now that's a step too far, well a couple of thousands steps too far actually! Anyway, I need to put in some training for Strictly - won't be long until the celebs are announced, and I'm looking forward to seeing which one you pick out as me!



Happy anniversary to them both!




Pants! I could be doing them for years then!




Aw, I agree!




Please not a not a wedding ring, please no!

Actually at this point, I'd just like to clarify my job title at this point, I'm sure it was first defined as Chief engagement/ not an engagement ring analyser - no mention of wedding rings!!

Sorry to disappoint you but Gio and Jo are on at the Chilli Fest tomorrow. So you'll have to wait for another day I'm 'fraid but it means Georgia could still be there. Actually if the weather's like it was today I think there will be crowds of people there and I may not be able to get close enough to get arrested (thank goodness!). Anyway, I'll do my best.

I agree with you about the need for a new GG photo - the sooner and soppier the better!

Awww ninaninja . I thought it was today they were there. If it's tomorrow you've got time to practice a few ninja moves which you can use tomorrow to get the crowds out of the way. 😂 All joking aside have a great day tomorrow and hope the sun shines for you 😉

Jo's just put this on Twitter

Gio looks gorgeous and I note Brian he has a new non-shiney suit!

Looks like poor Georgia was home alone with her hangover ☹️

What is that Jo and Gio are at? Hope Georgias ok.

Hmmmmm... A paid appearance perhaps?? My birthday's coming up, perhaps Mr PB could arrange the same 'surprise' for me ( having given me plenty of notice to do my hair etc).

They both look lovely.

Looking forward to hearing you report tomorrow Nina!

That makes a change! Well if he's not going to wear it ...

Possibly because only Gio tagged and normally Jo tags everyone.

Mr M (Mr Flora) would never do this. He thinks a new light fitting is a present (rolls eye to ceiling) I wonder how much an appearance is?

I should imagine you could earn a fair bit from these sort of appearances!

I thought his clothes were getting more British - perhaps Georgia could pack up all his Italian clothes and post them on to you Brian

I bet it was really lovely light fitting though

An excellent idea. Mind you, if he got those baggy tracksuit bottoms from Italy she can leave them out I think - not to be picky!

Well as long as you get the shiny suit and the yellow very long T Shirt that will be fine !

And the puffa jacket, I'm sure it's still around somewhere and I'm sure Brian would look rather fetching wearing it!

Have a lovely time today Nina!! Hope the sun is shining!

*Playing it cool* - Yes. I wouldn't mind if the shiny suit was in there ... though she can ignite that long yellow T shirt a miss I think, along with these jeans!


Tbh, I think Alfonso the goat carried it off better than I would!

And ditto, hope you have a lovely day Nina!
