Oh for crying out loud Star
Killing off dogs now??..... Why oh why are they doing this????!!!
Personally I much prefer more of the comedy and laughs that used to make Corrie so great to watch.
Oops - spoiler

A shock indeed! I've a feeling there may be quite a few posters hoping that Laura gets Joe Varney!
I wonder why? So that he gets a (on paper at least) contender or because they are hoping for the Strictly curse to strike again and hit Georgia where it hurts? - I know which reason my money is on

Oh for heavens sake star hope you'll not be entering into another period of 'mourning' 😂
I'm still mourning Kylie!!

I thought your "other half" on the thread had been missing in action much longer than that Sandy
Just a note for anyone who may not have traveled on the Tube before (most of you probably have) but when not sitting down it's sensible to have hold of something because those trains accelerate fast, otherwise you might find yourself in a rather uncompromising and undignified position on the floor with a fellow passenger who you've never met before ... not saying that's ever happened before, just a little bit of advice for you all!
Sorry Brian, I have messed up your quote again
Oh how terribly awful that would be if I accidentally on purpose just fell on top of Gio on the tube.
It would totally ruin my day........not!
He he, sorry Georgia!



Incidentally, Giovanni being called "Joe Varney" by Georgia isn't that far off the mark in pronouncing his name you know - well that is according to this you tube clip below.
If you can't be bothered watching the whole thing, the bit on how to pronounce his name is at around 6.57 minutes onwards. Anyone who didn't know me would think I am a leetle bit obsessed with Giovanni for some reason wouldn't they..................

A safe bet, I think!

I love this response to her random question:-

"They are inflatable horses and they blow them up on arrival"

Pure banter - Well she did ask !!!

Alicia I think he's going to be good. I've just watched him do 'let's dance for comic relief'. The clip was posted on the main forum and he can move. I'm not sure how tall he is though.

Thanks Jammy I trust your judgment. Sounds exciting. Maybe Joanne will have a few possibles to look forward to. He looks as if he may be top end of twenties ot thirty? If he isn't tall - perhaps Oxana?

Thank you for all the recent news, looking forward to hearing from Delly and Collaw. Hope all is well. Alicia👍x

From what I've seen of him on BBC Breakfast he's a very likeable chap - an excellent choice by the producers.

I tried Star, sometimes in life you have to be the bigger person, this I think is one of those occasions. Please don't take it to heart and carry on loving your Georgia. As an olive branch when she appears in BAT in October in my home town I will try to remember to post links to any reviews for you.

As an aside the recent poll someone else refers to when we multi-voted was I believe the Radio Times poll when they actively encourage fans to multi-vote and set up shifts to vote overnight as it is a world wide poll. We knew we were never going to win but just wanted a respectable score against the might of Poldark fans, who are truly scary, much more than Jay fans

I hope peace will now be restored.

And I greatly appreciate your efforts, Lola. I really do. As I said in your thread, I apologise for posting over there, when really I should have kept quiet but I do not appreciate being branded a bully for a mere comment!! It was totally unacceptable in my book! Especially when the comment I made was in reference to me being insulted for a different reason!!
But I shall leave it now, if only for the sake of you lovely Jaliona's

Everyone multi votes, for every couple. They are just daft polls, certainly not something for anyone to fall out over.

Thank you for your post, it has made me feel better xx

Evening everyone well I'm trying to catch up and have gone back 20 pages and that's only to last Friday. I have managed to read 10 of those pages so here goes with some replies

[quote=Sandy_Andrews;83459543]Will anyone be watching the Olympic Opening Ceremony tonight ? - I am quite excited about It.

I watched some of the opening ceremony and have enjoyed watching the diving this week. I think I would be a bit worried about the colour of the water if I was using the pools there now. I like some of the track & field events but my husband loves all of it so we keep jumping between channels



Well to cut a long story short I've had nerve pain in the right side of my face and head, it's been painful to even lightly touch my hair. Work is super stressful and taking time off isn't an option, so I've been exhausted and did wonder if I'd make the chilli fiesta at all. But I felt a bit better yesterday so decided to go for it.

We got a cab from the train station and as we arrived I spotted three individuals walking along the road. I thought, they look familiar and then I realised I was looking at Giovanni and Jo! Thousands of people going to this event, what are the chances? As the taxi moved past I turned around and saw a petite brunette with plaits between them...had to be Georgia!

The event itself is a great day out. The dancing was superb and such a great chance to see Giovanni do what he does best of all, the Latin numbers. They did three dances throughout the afternoon, a salsa, cha cha and jive. All were fantastic, the salsa was my favourite I think, a brilliant upside down lift and fantastic batucadas towards the end *swoon* :blush The jive had everyone at the front up on their feet and then they did a salsa demo for everyone to join in. Jo led the instructions and Giovanni pretended to find some of it difficult! I made a very weak effort to join in!

Others have said it but Giovanni really is soooo handsome in the flesh. There are some lovely pictures of him of course but many don't really do him justice. Jo is lovely too and they are such charismatic performers together. I did spot Georgia lurking in the wings once or twice but she seemed like she didn't really want to be spotted. Perhaps she was still a bit hungover or just being mindful that it wasn't her gig. I wish we'd seen a bit more of her though.

I know you all want a GG photo and I can't oblige I'm afraid. I hope someone else can. I did keep my eyes peeled for a ninja-style GG detective stalking the perimeters (Nina?) but there seemed to be quite a few!! Lots of people with cameras and phones out and I've already seen much better photos and videos on Twitter than I managed to get. But I got a few pics so will try and upload them later. (I'm sure some people will have managed to get backstage at the end but we had to dash off to make our travel connections.)

The photo of G&G flaked out on the grass made me smile. That's exactly what me and the hubby did for about an hour while a brilliant Santana tribute band were playing. A rather less photogenic and more middle aged version, but the same position

So a really great day out, a privilege to see Gio and Jo dancing close up and I was so pleased I made the effort to drag myself there. My head hurts like hell but it was worth it. Looking forward to Nina's report and hope she had a great time too.
Evening everyone,

I'm back, finally - feeling a bit shattered but I've had a great day. I was due to go with a friend but she then said she couldn't go so I went on my own. I must say it's a very nice event and with lots of stalls to wander round selling all sorts of things apart from chilli related items. I got some gorgeous chocolate which I will try not to eat all at once and a big caribbean rum cake which I will take to the conservation group that volunteer for on a Monday for our morning tea break.

Anyway the highlight of the day was, of course, seeing Gio and Jo dancing. They did three sets over the afternoon, firstly a Samba, then a cha cha and then a jive. Lovely to see them all particularly the jive which I think they have done before at various events. The speed of it is just tremendous and I like the way they add a bit of humour into it. As I thought when I saw them in the Proms they are a great partnership and really fit well together. I should tell you that at the start of the cha cha when I went up near the front I swear Gio smiled at me and my ovaries felt ready to explode!! Not good at my time of life!! As Daisy says they did a mass Salsa lesson at the end which was fun and I actually joined in! Jo was very good at getting people in the audience going - you can see what a great teacher she is!

I first saw Georgia lurking at the back before the start of the samba. I recognised her first by her earrings, then I saw Gio put his arm around her and so I thought it must be her! After the cha cha I was just about to take a picture of the two of them when the battery on my camera died. The stupid thing was fully charged this morning but then suddenly died. By the time I had got my phone out they had disappeared.

I did take one or two pictures and a short video of the samba but the pics are not very good since they are a bit out of focus. Stupidly I took my small camera with me and didn't think about it being very difficult to see what you are taking since the light was so bright. I also took a few on my phone but that was even worse although unexpectedly I managed to get a good shot of Georgia. That could be a special one for NDD!! Georgia seemed to want to stay in the background and waited very patiently backstage while various people took pics with Gio and Jo. I think we can safely say that all is well in GG land! Love that picture that Jo tweeted.

When I got back to Chichester station I went to the ladies loo and as I came out I saw the three of them on the platform! I was wondering whether to go and speak to them when the train to Brighton came in and they all got on. This weekend is the Brighton Pride and they were probably going there for the tail end of the festivities. I suppose if I was a real GG obsessive I would have got on the train and stalked them all evening!! However, by then I just wanted to get home so I caught the London bound train to Croydon which was very crowded.

Anyway, it was a great day, made even greater by seeing G&J. How lucky am I to have seen them live twice in the past three weeks - I would happily see all the dances again and again and again..............Sorry about the photo fail, I will try to upload what I have.

Hope you are feeling better soon Daisy!
Thank you Nina & Daisy for your great reports of the Chilli Fiesta hope that you are feeling better now Daisy and thanks to everyone who has posted pics from the Fiesta

Lola no one in here really cares about polls - we have to remind people to vote !
But to clarify the poll I saw people discussing multi voting in and setting up shifts to do so was a poll where one was only supposed to vote once.
I can't remember what poll it was but it had nothing to do with the Radio Times and anything other than dances or couples in last year's Strictly..
We watched the votes go up by hundreds every hour in wonder !
It really doesn't matter at all as for the most part we found it very funny.

Since then we have not bothered to vote in polls very much - which should be a fun thing and certainly nothing to lose sleep over
It doesn't make any difference to GG as they are unaware such polls exist.

We have always coexisted very happily with the Aliona's and are very grateful when some of you nice people pop in to give us news and links to info or pics we didn't know about.
I think on the whole we are much more interested in GG being happy rather than winning silly fan polls.
