Anthony Burk more like - drinking?!!! I'm a TT girl!!

Ann, correct me if I am wrong, but I think Antons real name is Anthony Beark. Something along those lines.

Yes I thought that Ann Widdie was listing.

While you're on line, come and join Kitty and me for a drink on another thread, your more than welcome. hic.

speaking from Wales I would like to inform you that Gavin Henson is a big head, full of himself - banned from many pubs and clubs in Cardiff!!!
Austin Healey and Matt Dawson, both rugby players were excellent on Strictly - having seen Gavin on the floor this evening, I can confidently say that he'll be out just after his feet have touched the dance floor - rubbish

I love Anne Widdecombe - good sport - I bet Anton Dubecque [not his real name - probably Fred Scroggins] was livid when he found out he was her partner. God love her - she can hardly walk even and has a severe list to starboard

Ooooooh nooooooo.

Only 10 minutes into the show and I got a phone call that I had to take, so missed a load of the show.

I see Anton got the short straw again. As lovely as Ann Widdiecombe is, she aint no dancer.

Brendan got paired with Michelle Williams. She is one hot mamma. I think there will be some sparking between her and Alesha Dixon. Alesha thinks she is the British equivalent of Beyonce, so I think it could be high noon at the OK Coral.

Doncha just love it. Cant wait for the programme proper in a couple of weeks.

Already NOT loving, Pamela and Patsy.

Cheers Helen, that Pimms was luv-er-lee.

There's one on it's way MTG.

OMG who's the dude with the open waistcoat? he's hot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope it is full of oranges, lemons, strawberries, cucumber and ice. Is it. Good. Pass me over a tall glass full please.

Well girls only 15 mins to go. Are we all dressed ready? I've decided to save my dress for next week and have just put a plain black cocktail dress on tonight. So I can relax and watch the group dance in comfort.

Off to make my pitcher of pimms to enjoy while watching the show.

I'm glad to give you a giggle Helen.

Just sent Mark off. My, my but he is a FINE looking fella. Small, but beautifully marked. [geddit]

Just got time to give meself a quick rub down with a lettuce leaf before I settle myself down with the rest of you on the sofa.

Hanging my sparkly number out to air for a while, will have it dry cleaned before next week proper, but will be in practice clothes to watch the show. This consists of leotard, wrap-around skirt, and leggings. Want to give the air of seriousness to these proceedings. Naturally they are all black, and lycra packed to hold in my minimal lumps and bumps.

Just pleased to know that over the next few weeks, the amount of dancing I will do, and the pounds will just fall off. I will transform from Baby Elephant to Sugar Plum Fairy.

OK just got time for a quick cuppa before I settle myself.
See you there.

OK sorted now.

OK somebody fill me in then. Just celebrities meeting partners? Do they normally do that?

So when is the first proper strictly competition etc? Next week?

No result programme today as it is for celebrities meeting their partners

Sorry to be a pain but no paper here today, not been near the shop. When is the result programme please? And while I am here can anyone give me the time of the last night of the proms, the popular bit? \thanks.

MTG, I'm pmsl at your posting that is so funny.

Now if it was me it would have to be either Mr Brendan Cole or if I couldn't have one of the pro's it would be a toss up between Mr Tom Chambers or Mr Chris Hollins.
I have had the pleasure of wrapping my arms around a certain Mr Darren Gough when he came to switch the lights on in our Town Centre a couple of years ago, now he was well built. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK. So here I go for my practice number. As stated I am wearing my flame dress, scarlet, crimson and gold with gold sequins on the edges of the flames. Got to admit girls, I look damned hot. lol

The practice room is playing Tea for Two, so it is a cha-cha that I will be dancing. Who will be my partner, I am nervous. Doors open - I have the wild card. I have Mark Ramprakash. Gosh, I can feel myself getting moist. [perspiration dears, pespiration]. He compliments me on my dress, and I can feel my chest and neck blushing.
God, he looks GORGEOUS. He's in the demob suit, with his hair slicked back, and the two-tone shoes.
So, here we go.

Tea for Two, cha cha cha

Stand tall, kness pushed back, arched back

And Two for Tea

Dainty steps, forward

Me for you

Dainty steps, back

And You For Me

Side step, keeping my frame

Cha cha cha

God, we are good together. You carry on girls, I will finish practice in about, er, fours hours time, I will join you on the sofa.

Cha, cha, cha.

Still sewing on the sequins Helen, so hot here they keep sticking to me instead of the frock

6.25 Ann.

Have you got your frock ready?

Can somebody pleeeese tell me what time it is on.

Here I am again - ready to join you all on the sofa. Have just had a good scout round my wardrobe and have decided on a nice colourful bright turquoise number for my samba debut ! Shall have to get used to wearing my dancing shoes again as I have tended to slop around in flip-flop sandal type shoes all summer. Have them on now actually as I type. Not too sure about the celebrities as yet. Am tending towards Tina, Felicity, Gavin and Matt at the moment. Roll on Strictly.

Thanks for all the info. Helen.

Watched Ann Widdecombe interviewed on breakfast news this morning, she's really keen,has been practising 5 hours a day,she said "if John Sergeant did it so can I " lol

Really looking forward to new series. Ooh mtg I loved Alesha...couldn't get enough of her and Matthew dancing together....didn't like her on the panel though.

Mau

* secretly stashes leftover sequins in dance bag to 'deposit somewhere' ;O)
