I love Strictly, it does cause arguments in the house though.. Kids get jealous of me paying attention to something else for a couple of hours a week and so does Mr. Asset even though he secretly likes it too.

Anyway, I was a bit disappointed to see Felicity has succumbed to Botox, that forehead cannot move a jot it's so frozen, does a fair bit of yoga though by the looks of it. Michelle Williams is dreadful, so wooden, Pamela was good but I can't bear the luvviness. Who's the guy Scott - he looks like a gangster, good dancer though it seems. Patsy a bit crap but nerves mainly it looks like.

Let's hope the dresses are better this year than last year's.

My guilty pleasure.

No..


But then I don't look at that sort of thing

W**F

I totally *heart* Strictly. Glad to find a thread about it :)

Just some of my thoughts on last nights Halloween special.


Pamela & James - She's got great natural dance ability and can perform it well but HUGE mistake aside, for some reason the jive didn't seem to work for her.

Tina & Jared - Much better job in their Argentine Tango but they seem to lack personal chemistry with each other.

Kara & Artem - For me, this was the Dance of the night. Dramatic, technically very good and finally some performance from Kara.

Patsy & Robin - Bless her, but Patsy always looks like she's dancing at a wedding after 4 glasses of wine.

Felicity & Vincent - Quite flat and boring, and what has happened to her top lip?

Jimi & Flavia - Really great performance piece. Who would have thought a zombie could do the Paso Doble so well.

Michelle & Brendan - The spat between Len & Brendan was the highlight of the dance. And Len was right IMO...lacking A LOT of content which is fair enough as she missed 2 days training. Brendan could have just defended the dance of that basis but threw a bit of a strop.

Gavin & Katya - Gavin, Gavin, Gavin...you are like polished floorboards....flat, shiny & stained. How can a person be that lacking in personality. What a waste of Katya's very impressive charms ;)

Scott & Natalie - Didn't quite understand the high marks, but then i'm not a huge fan of the Viennese Waltz. All that spinning makes me dizzy just watching.

Ann & Anton - Can we start a campaign for a medal for Anton? He needs something for all his heroic efforts.

Matt & Aliona - They are my favourite couple since the start but this was a poor dance. Lacking in content and nervously executed. He is probably the best dancer in the show but the choreography wasn't great. Sorry Aliona...we still love you.


Result show is on 20mins or so and my bet is on Michelle/Brendan & Gavin/Katya in the bottom 2. Probably Michelle will go.

Mr Roar and the miniroars all in agreement about loving the Strictly.


Quite sad about cute little Tina and the even cuter little bloke.


Felicity should have gone I think! agree about the botox, it is quite a 'coming up' look it's given her.


Rooting for Matt & Aliona but Patsy is really growing on me, totally agree about the wedding dancing though, that's part of the charm.


Gavin, Felicity or Michelle to go next week.

Was surprised to see Tina & Jared go, but on Strictly it feels that you've got to be either a very good dancer or very good entertainment to survive....and I guess she was just a little too average in both.


I agree with you mightyroar - Gavin, Felicity or Michelle to go next week. I'm torn though about Gavin. I want him to leave but want Katya to stay in >:D<


Anyway, roll on next week.

I think Strictly Come Dancing has jumped the shark.

For all those out there who don't know what I'm talking about its a reference to an episode when the Fonz jumped the shark while waterskiing as I remember....it was something so ridiculous, the programme Happy Days lost its relevance or at least began to lose it. For Dallas, the equivalent moment was when Bobby stepped out of the shower a series after he died. For Eastenders, I think Dirty Den's return symbolized a moment when the programme makerse had lost their senses. For Brookside, my gosh any amount of moments could be presented as evidence.

This season marks that moment for Strictly Come Dancing. Ann Widdecombe's progress highlights the fact that the programme is not what it was when it began, it's morphed into something else.

Well Gavin's still in. Dancing has improved but personality not.


Ann went out with dignity at last but showed good humour at least, there's no denying she has been a memorable part of this year's show.


Scott in the bottom two so obviously not down to dancing ability. Looking forward to the semi and the final. Can an older woman win for the first time?

Well, Scott only scored two more points than Gavin who was in the bottom two with Ann so I don't think it's THAT which is the main indication the public don't vote based on ability.


Taking ten weeks to get rid of Ann... now THAT is an indication people aren't voting on ability.


As for Scott, I think he's gone off the boil lately, and am getting a bit tired of his complaining he is tired working on east enders at the same time. He's not the only one doing two jobs - think Matt's been doing Countryfile the whole time.

    • on a practical level found here these have very positive feedback:   Danny - 07943 673482 joeast 12/09/23 Just had my roof replaced by Danny (mobile 07943 673482) who I would highly recommend. He is honest, clean, reliable and explained the work and sent photos as the work progressed. His initial estimate for costs was detailed and close to the actual price of the job. jamondo 07/12/24 Another recommendation for Danny here!  After carrying out extensive work on our property in 2018, we have constantly had problems  with the newly built roof.  Then followed numerous fixes and bodges by the builders then by other so called 'experts' and professionals' charging extortionate amounts and / or giving guarantees that amounted to nothing.  Lots of 'it could be this and that etc...'  Sadly our tale of woe is not uncommon. After getting a number of people to look at the roof - the consensus was that the whole roof needed redoing (it was clear that by now the roof looked a mess with multiple things done wrong or poorly).  We obtained quotes and decided to go with Danny - his was the most competitive but it was not overriding factor behind why we did.  Danny made clear what the quote covered and where there might be extra work required as he got to it (this was fairly minor). He was easy to get a hold of and responded promptly and he was also happy to offer up refences which I did contact and all were happy to vouch for him. Minor downside was that we had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it.  When work started I was kept updated with progress and photos.  Issues were dealt with, and although I'm not an expert by any means the appearance of the work was top.  Most importantly we are leak free! bonzo 17/05/25 Needed a new rear roof for terrace house in East Dulwich and heard about Danny Denton (07943 673482). Have worked with over 20 builders in the past but this guy was way the best - polite, hard working, honest, professional, informative, highly skilled and above all quoted lower than any of the others who came down to view the job. If you need roofing work I would definitely give him a call. If he's busy working else where I assure you he is well worth waiting for. He got the scaffold up and job finished in no time and kept me informed at every stage. Another roofer (who appears on this forum) gave a quote which was three times higher than Danny's.   #########################################################   Norwood Roofing 07412 000 214 Email Address: [email protected] Website: https://norwoodroofing.co.uk/ Fee163 01/01/26 Another 5 star recommendation for David and Patrick. Got in touch with David last week regarding clearing our gutters and as always he quoted immediately and came out within the week to do the job.  We've used David and Patrick for all our roof work for almost 10 years .   They also did an amazing job for my sister who is based outside the area - she couldn't easily find someone local and they stepped in and did a fantastic job (it was quite a big job).  Can't recommend them highly enough, really personable, always reliable and so easy to work with and consistent, just wouldn't work with anyone one else!  Thanks again David and Patrick. caroline5553 12/01/26 Another recommendation for David and Patrick. David came out the same day we called, had scaffolding up by the weekend and the job done on Monday. Really nice guys, never made me feel uncomfortable, easy to work with and seemed to have done a great job. Thanks, David and Patrick! sheppick 15/12/25 I would also recommend David and Patrick. David quoted immediately, and they came and did the work I needed the following week. They fixed my leaking roof and did a number of other jobs for me that were needed on the roof. Really reliable, turned up on time and very reasonable quote. Super easy to deal with and I would highly recommend.  #################################################################   Which Trusted Trader R Tredget & Son 07905829393 or 07956553852  [email protected] http://www.rtredgetandson.com/ OUR FEATURED WORKS Roofing, plumbing, kitchen installation, building, interior decorating, electrical installation, bathroom installation, exterior decorating, tiling, plastering, landscaping & carpentry 02/08/25 This is the second time R. Tredget & Son have carried out works on our property. Part of the work included the repair of cladding on an end gable that Richard had previously installed but it had since been accidentally damaged by another trades-person. I assumed I'd pay for such repair work, as the damage was no fault of his own, but when we discussed this, Richard was adamant he would not charge! Made a lovely job of the repair too. When you turn your home (or part of it) over to builders it often feels like they've taken over. Not so with Richard, Adam and Harrison. They respect your property and are willing to work with you. They keep you informed at every stage, offering suggestions and alternatives as appropriate and they don't take liberties. We are so glad to have found R. Tredget & Son builders: quality work from reliable, hard-working and courteous folks. 10/10/24 Multiple jobs complete to a high standard We've used Richard for a few years now getting our house complete. He and his team have completely refitted our kitchen, replaced ceilings, built internal and external walls, laid flooring, plastered, decorated, fixed guttering, fit skirting boards; the list goes on! They take pride in their work, and every job we've needed doing, they've always done to a high standard. No job was too big or too small for them, and I've no doubt the quality work they've done has increased the value of our house, so a big thanks again for everything they've done. 17/04/24 A Great Family Run Company This was our first time having works done in a new house so we were understandably nervous! From the first meeting with Richard and Adam we knew that we would be in good hands. Nothing that we wanted done was too much of an issue, even if it was a bit more of a challenge to them (unlike some other quotes we got!). They gave clever suggestions but weren't pushy with it and had good ideas! We had a whole new bathroom installed and then some structural work done around the house. The guys always made sure that they left the house in a clean state at the end of every day, which really made a difference to our standard of living during the works. Richard, Michelle, Adam, and H were trustworthy and communication was perfect throughout. We used some of their guys for boiler/electrics too and they were also great. Would highly recommend taking them on for your works!       
    • Bit of a long-shot, but I dropped my glasses somewhere along my run last night, after taking them off due to the rain. The glasses are Giorgio Armani with grey frames. My running route attached, so they could be anywhere along this route. If you've found them, please get in touch! 07971806292 Many thanks James
    • I'm in the middle of the civil service pension crisis with no pension for 4 months and counting. No access to the much publicised loans either. I have emailed Helen Hayes several times. It took her 6 weeks to contact Capita on my behalf but no follow up, no reply, she didn't attend the Westminster Hall debate about the issue either. Lots of other MPs are speaking and acting on behalf of their constituents but I've had no joy. Has anyone else please? What works to get help from Helen Hayes?
    • Our cat Suki has gone missing from Keston Road near Goose Green. Please let us know if you see her anywhere or can check your sheds and gardens. You can contact us me on 07980308743 or [email protected].  Thanks Chris
