Kudos to jtnorth for finding the DS Manual on SCD Sleb Criteria

You must be thrilled that you are through but not so happy that you don't look traumatised that someone you met three weeks ago has been voted off. You mustn't hide in the background up with Claude but you mustn't push yourself to the front. You must hug your partner constantly without suggesting there is anything going on. You must have personality but not too much personality. You mustn't be cocky, woobie, smug, fake, nervous, starting to believe the hype or dancing with a Clifton...”

Would be a nice tribute to the earlier days of Strictly.”

And maybe even *gasp* appropriate music?

Right wing extremists as they want to see a former stalwart of the Labout front benches make a complete t*t of himself on live television.

OMG Ed Balls is going to win Strictly😱😱😱😱😱😱😱”

Well he's running out of chances to kill Katya. Only the salsa and argentine tango left to do lifts, and those lifts tend to be more modest. . So I doubt I'll be washing the blood from my hands like Lady Macbeth.

Also there is a possibility that Katya contributed to the lift going wrong (noone has identified the cause of it going pear shaped as far as I am aware). It does happen with professionals. My dance teacher put his back out for a while after doing a lift with his professional partner.”

And this from Mimi in the Strictly Ikea catalogue...

Customers who need something to display their ANSTAYSHA anglepoise lamp can borrow a GORKE side table.

Please note : the bottom drawer of the BRENDN is designed to stick out at the rear of the unit. This is a design feature and not a defect.”

In the middle of an earthquake. Also the apprentice is colour blind and has been talking a lot recently about how he doesn't really value life any more and wonders if he should end it all. Both the orphanage and the puppy home are owned by a private charity run by billionaire nymphomaniac gymnast ladies and they will be very grateful if the bomb is defused. Yes.”

Thank you for the laugh, Tanzie!

Freedom of expression is indeed a wonderful thing - as is being able to come up with a sentence like that.

So funny and 2 in a row for Moany Liza - you're on fire!

Sheer brilliance here from Muggsy in the "Is Kevin having a crisis thread?"!

Quote:
“Keep up! Psychiatry is so two weeks ago. Everybody's retrained in respiratory medicine this week”

I'm still laughing!

This very clever comment from Juless in the Is Kevin Having a Crisis thread (which has seen discussion amongst other things of why Kevin has started wearing a hat...):

Originally Posted by Ann_Dancer:

There is no research that I was completing. No hypothesis and no proof. I just commented on Kevin's whereabouts last Saturday because some people on the thread had posted that he was hogging the limelight on Hallowe'en Saturday. That is why I mentioned confirmation bias in that people see what they want to see.

Alternatively Kevin is some kind of Strictly equivalent of Schrodinger's cat, managing to occupy multiple states at one time. He manages to be simultaneously in your face, hogging the limelight, and standing to one side, supporting his co dancers. So maybe it is all down to quantum mechanics.

I'm now leaving this thread since I really have lost the will to live!”

Maybe we need a separate thread about Daisy's burping. On second thoughts, maybe not.

I need to find someone, just one someone, to support or hate or get worked up about one way or another. I can't go on liking them all. Yours confused of Strictlyland.”
