SCD 2013 #2: Love Week and onwards...

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

To carry on from the first thread

I think Rachel was voted cos she isnt as well known and suzanna shook her thing I thought it was going to be susanna and Julien , glad he has gone his cheesy grin was creeping me out

I think it was difficult for Deborah to dance in that silver pencil skirt she had on underneath as it was too tight .

that is what I thought last night the shoes and pencil skirt not a good combo her skirt was so tight you could see her control pants underneath it . did anybody see Natalie shove her busom onto Atrem when they were voted through cant blame her really

Yes I find it difficult to walk in a pencil skirt let alone dance .

I too had no electrial power in my sockets a week ago last Saturday. Had the emergency plumber round for 2 hours and he couldn't get power to my TV. I wailed," I so want to see Strictly tonight" and he draped my extension sockets on long leads over the curtain rails and plugged everything into my kitchen, which was working.

It is week 4 according to You Tube. There is Ben dancing the waltz " a week ago". So want to see his Rumba again ASAP as need my adrenalin fix. It was the romance as well as his muscular prowess.
The way he pulled Christina off the floor into his arms with one hand made me gasp.

How bonkers was that? Craig is having his hip op today, but they still recorded last night's 'Sunday' show with him there. But they still referred to 'last night' several times. They must think we are imbeciles.

Is Craig going to be off? Who is the replacement judge?

Craig apparently won't be taking any time off.

He reckons he'll be back by next weekend's show.

If he get get appropriate support there's no reason why he can't be back.

If he can get...sorry.

steady digerd you will do yourself a mischief girlie

Misread thread about Ben and waltz as Bez .. Now that would be quite odd!

whats wrong with craigs hip ?

cant see digerd getting into such a tiz about bez really

He's having a hip replacement apparently mrsjay

Craig has tweeted this morning that the hop OP was a success and he has had his first successful go at standing up. I imagine he'll be in a wheelchair for a bit to get around though.

I imagine the replacement was necessary after years of dancing.

mrsjay . Not such a young "girlie" anymore. It is nothing sexual how I feel about Ben < honestly>. It is an aesthetic and romantic attraction.

I have visions of me being a damsel in distress, running away from some fiend and he comes along on his white charger grabs my hand and effortlessly pulls me up to sit behind him on his horse and we gallop off into the sunset. To live happily everafter.- sigh. < am an old incorrigible romantic>.

I know many people who have had hip replacements and they have to keep walking with crutches and then a stick for some time. Not sure how soon after the op though.
He must have been in considerable pain for some time. But on ITT last week he looked fine and did some moves before sitting on the sofa.

It doesn't need to be sexualdigerdnothing wrong with a good old fashioned swoony crush imo they are lovely

I can't believe craig is expecting to be back at work after a hip replacement

There might be an update this week on Craig's progress on ITT.
My ex-gardener had a hip replacement and his wife told me he was a nightmare for months afterwards moaning about the pain.
I'm sure Craig will be more stoic.

Zoe just said Craig will be back on ITT "next week".

I doubt very much that he'll need a wheelchair. These days they get you moving around ASAP to aid recovery (which is always faster if you have it done under local anaesthetic. I could get up and down stairs within 4 days and was back at work and driving within 6 weeks.

I expect he'll be transported to the studio and will be able to use a stick to get to his seat.

I agree that the silver pencil skirt was not right and too tight for kicking legs - should have had pleats or been flared ...and not been silver

I bet it will be painful still and he will be medicated with pain-killers. He could be particularly grumpy or well-mellowed. Hope he does manage the judging this Saturday.
