Brian looks like a thunderbird.

I am looking forward to the lindyhop and the charleston next week.

I went to a Charleston evening a few weeks ago (I am sure the other people there found the sight of a heavily pregnant woman learning to Charleston with a group of 70 years old hilarious) and posted on the Stricly boards that I would love to see them learn that - and bingo ! I also adore lindyhop (what they're calling rock and roll) - does anyone remember the world champs they had on to demo it a few years ago ? They were ace.

Vincent is NOT gay.He was doing Kristina at one stage and Kristina's now doing that boxer
Talk about keeping it in the Strictly family.

stillenacht · 22/11/2009 19:33

Reeeeeeeeeeaaaaally OMG I was convinced he was gay and that they were just dance partners. Blimey i am sooooo out of the Strictly loop.

bran · 22/11/2009 19:35

Merlypuss - how did I not see it before? Brian is a Thunderbird puppet. That explains why he's so bendy, he doesn't actually have bones, muscles and ligaments, instead he has strings and wooden joints.

fartmeistergeneral · 22/11/2009 19:53

Although the thunderbird thing makes me feel a bit weird about wanting to shag him.

I did think he might be on the bus, Vincent, no deffo not and I never thought he was. Bruno has got to be the driver of the bus.

Craig can be the conductor....

am currently watching last nights episode, on sky+. just saw natalie, say I don't want to do a mediocre lift.
WHERE are all the lifts this series ? have the rules change. I am sure that in the olden days they weren't aloowed to do one until week 5 or whatever, but then you saw loads. like 4 in every dance.
can someone explain to me what is going on with the lifts this series, or lack of them ?

Vincent has just has a baby so is not on the bus. You can have them all apart from Ian. He's mine.

fartmeistergeneral · 22/11/2009 21:02

Yes that was painful last year, watching Rachel Stevens' fiance sitting in permanent shock in the audience each week! I specifically remember the horror of the rumba....

Are they still together I wonder?

Brian isn't gay. I think he could do with some eyebrow maintainance but apart from that I have a huge crush on him
