[Misc] Who is only on here tonight because the other half is watchinh

[A mex eyecan]

Salt is your friend

mmmm, yes an option indeed, but that would all be over well before those tedious twats on TV

 

[Professor Plum]

My better half is obsessed by it. I usually head off to the pub for a couple of hours to leave her in peace. Suits us both.

 

[Flounce]

Jamie Borthwick was fecking incredible, has to be said!

I had absolutely no idea who he was and had to Google it

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Just peeked at the thread, but watching Strictly too. My parents died in 2011 and I find it comforting and comfortable watching something they watched. I'm also loving watching a blind man dance, not to mention his great one liners.

 

[Flounce]

Thought Paul Merson was remarkably good given how crap he was initially

 

[The Oldman]

Both Mrs O and I used to enjoy Strictly in the Brucie days but now all this screaming and the dance routines have put us off.

I watch the dances with my finger on the volume button. I agree the squealing and screaming is spoiling it.

 

[A mex eyecan]

has it finished yet?

 

[bluenitsuj]

Strictly?

Hard to concentrate with all the yelling and shrieking though

Nope. Would never be on in our house.

I’ve decamped to the conservatory. Having on the way poured a small, uh hmm, malt. Grabbed a Jack Reacher book and just considering if i should study the rather large slug crawling its way across the patio or if i should ignore it. Either of the outcomes will easily beat SD

"I've decamped..."

Strictly?

Fortunately, my misses is on a Strictly boycott this year, all that scandal and ever increasing wokery has turned even my mild mannered good lady off this TV brain pulp.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Every year they come out with the same lines from judges to contestants.
Mugs that pay the Licence fee are paying for this garbage and Linkers insane salary for one day a week during the football season..

Plenty of the “mugs that pay the licence fee” lap it up week after week! I think that would show it’s a BBC success story and has been for a long, long time.

but personally I avoid it like the plague.

 

[pasty]

I enjoy watching the dancing but the hysteria from the contestants between the dances does my head in. Shouty Oti Mabuse plain irritates me, I wish they’d replace her.

This. We generally record it and skip through all the bollox and just watch the dances.

Absolutely no idea who she is but my winner so far is Tasha.

 

[mothy]

I sent my Mrs to the bedroom to watch it. So I could watch the boxing downstairs

 

[Durlston]

Watching EastEnders omnibus on BBC3.

Apparently they've brought and bringing back characters for the 40th anniversary. Some that CAN act like Patsy Palmer, Michael French, Sid Owen, maybe even Ross Kemp. Oh and Danny Dyer. February 2025 is their big milestone.

So you went to the bedroom to watch the boxing

 

[tedebear]

I've watched for a couple of seasons now, but as people above have said, the screaming, Oti Mabuse's nonsense and the recent scandals about the professionals have meant my interest is waning...Infact I was about half an hour late to start it last night, didn't miss much so it seems...

 

[A mex eyecan]

My Mrs said that she thinks ‘it’s run it’s course’, Is there a race for a 1 metre dash?

 

[Durlston]

Is Merson still on there or did he put £100k on himself to be first evicted?

 

[tedebear]

He is and he's survived another week suprisingly! He did really well last night...actually looked like a dancer!
