Well the critiques delivered from a horses doing eventing would be interesting.

And from Craig who has just navigated Trafalgar Square it is over to Darcy who is currently galloping on Lambourn Downs and then to be concluded by Len cantering on Chesil Beach.”

Go to the post you want to copy and quote it ... Copy the post, drop out of that come to this thread, open the posting box and then paste

There might be an easier way, but it's how I do it.

Edy - you go into the original thread and press the quote button on the message you want to quote and copy all the quoted message, then you open this thread in a separate window and paste the quoted message here and it (normally

) works fine...

These gems from tabithakitten and CravenHaven on the "Can the Fan Wars calm Down" thread

That stick of vanilla fudge dancing with the male Clifton jumping bean. Does she actually dance on a Saturday? I swear I just nod off for about seven minutes every time she takes to the floor.

And what's with that garden sprinkler dancing with the Clifton sibling? Overmarked or what? Ever so 'umble prayer hands every two minutes - does he think he's in church?

Don't get me started on that pretty boy with loft insulation for brains who's paired with that smug trollop. Thinks the giltterball's hers already that one does. And as for dance training - bigger ringer than Big bloody Ben.

Oh Jeez - I forgot that munchkin bouncing around with the hyperactive twelve year old. Lifts, lifts, lifts, cartwheel, somersault and more bloody lifts. Have her feet even touched the floor yet?

Who the heck does that camper than a maypole pretend judge think he is? Does he think he's funny, mincing about with that vacuous Russian, milking cows or floating about on wires or whatever other hilar(yawn)ious ruse they've come up with this week?

Mustn't forget the other Olympian. That ginger lamp post attempting to dance with St bloody Natalie. Every week he "cahms ahht" (sorry - he's a sportsman, automatically slipped into Len mode) and every week he's... a bit sh*t. Then one or other of them gives it woobie face and the nation melts.

Oh and finally - the huge (and I mean this literally) standing (well he ain't bloody dancing is he) joke that is the politician. Never has a contestant on Strictly been so aptly named. And that upstart he's shuffling about with is no better. Call that choreography? Pity he didn't drop you the other week love.

Hang on... that doesn't seem like enough people. I'm sure there should be more? Surely there can't be any celebs sooooo dull that I would forget them altogether can there?

Fan wars - what fan wars? I just loathe all of them.

See you Saturday - it's my favourite time of the week .”

She moves on, he rushes out of the stall and grabs her arm 'what about my haddock instead?' and tries to force a fillet on her. She pushes it back, he pushes it forward. She turns away, he pivots round her. He grabs her and sniffs her hair. She smacks him with her basket and stomps off. Bruno goes into meltdown and grabs Len's 10 paddle so he can jold up two 10s. He is overcome with the raw unbridled passion. Darcey's nodded off and Len's muttering about pickled herring. Craig gives an in-depth critque of how much harder she could have hit him if she had kept her arm straight.”

As funny as it's true.

Can I nominate pretty much all of Moany Liza's "To get you in the mood" thread?

http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2187394

Sad thing is, the producers still managed to come up with more ridiculous ideas on Saturday ("to get you in the mood for this week's Viennese Waltz to Daisy Bell, I'm taking you to...a market stall"

)

Maybe Aljaz got his inspiration for that from this very forum!

[Apologetic bump

]

I've seen a couple of posts which were applauded as 'post of the day' - with good reason, I thought - on their own thread(s).

That made me wonder where the POTD thread had gone.

I found it, I bumped it.

I hope that others will share their post of the day on here as well as on the other threads

Thank you and don't you dare apologise for the bump!

This is one of the best threads on the forum. So nice to sit back and have a laugh

for a change instead of dodging around all the moaning and negativity.

This is from the spoiler thread but does not contain spoilers.
