There's been no mention of Strictly Come Dancing on this forum (or any of the others that I browse). Does this mean that I'm a saddo because I find it the most entertaining TV programme of the week? Please tell me I'm not alone in enjoying Zoe Ball's tango and Darren Gough's foxtrot.

Its not for me Gill.

I dont watch soaps, reality, game shows, X factor or anything that has a so called celebrity in it.

Doesnt leave me much to watch apart from a few films, documentaries, current affair programmes and the odd sitcom

I don't watch it Gill but Mrs Clive and I regularly go ballroom dancing.

I'd really like to learn that sort of dancing. My other half reckons we should have lessons after Christmas, but I doubt anything will come of it. Still, it would be a good way to get some exercise and an excuse to forget about the traditional New Year diet. I'd love to be able to tell my skinny friend, "No, dahling, we dancers are as fit and fiddles and need the additional calories. So I think I might have another eclair."

You may have difficulty in getting lessons Gill because apparently there is a shortage of ballroom dance teachers at the moment due to the resurgence in popularity.

i'm supposed to be learning how to ballroom dance after xmas with some girl I know - I hope she has metal capped feet!

Since we don't live too far away, we might bump into you, Sam.
Literally!

indeed...!

well if you see a hairy looking youngster who u would expect to be in a crowd of youths trying to dance then well you will have found me! :-) oh and i will probably be on the floor!

You weren't so hairy last time I saw you Sam. Shall we have a whip-round to pay for another haircut for you?

I don't usually watch this type of programme, but I have got into the X Factor, not because I particularly like any of the singers (although Brenda has the best voice I have ever heard on a woman) but because the rather childish rivalry between the judges, Cowell, Walsh and Mrs Osbourne has been hilarious.

i always catch the first 20 mins whilst eating my dinner with my parents (well thats if I am in) and I'm glad I can eat quick and then be antisocial! :-)

Oh and Clive, the hair is still short (well not as it once was but still perfectly professional) - however I have this weird growth on my face that has shapped itself into a bit of a beard....

I've also experienced that Sam, but I find that purchasing a very inexpensive razor will usually solve the problem.

sam · « **Reply #12 on:** December 05, 2005, 08:42 »

lol, but in my case it is there on purpose... and a moderately expensive one keeps it in order!

Is it to keep you warm in winter, Sam? :roll:

Clive · « **Reply #14 on:** December 05, 2005, 19:11 »

How could he possibly know Dave? It's the first winter he's managed to grow one! :bad:
