That's sad thanks ilovesooty

I DID love Sooty though Grin Can we bring pets on the chara trip Schade ?? pleeease pretty pleeese !!!!!????

My first car was a horrendous Citroen deux cheveux; I had passed my test on a 'normal' geared escort and the french gears were unbelievable My first drive out ended in me returning creeping along in first gear in the gutter for the other traffic!!!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 04/10/2018 12:23

I'm not driving the bus ppeat, but as I will be bringing 3 spaniels and a great dane if I get the chance, I am definitely up for it!

FuzzyCustard · 04/10/2018 12:58

My first car was a mini. It used to stop in the rain, as the rain came through the front grille into the cylinders.

After that I had a Ford Anglia, now trendy thanks to Harry Potter. Should have kept it.

Fuzzy my first car was a mini too. In winter you used to lose the skin on your palm on the metal hand break and there would be a sheet of ice under the pedals

FuzzyCustard · 04/10/2018 13:18

Did yours have rusty sills? Mine did. It was probably rusty all over.

QuantumWeatherButterfly · 04/10/2018 13:51

I normally only lurk on these threads as, despite being a Strictly Superfan (still waiting for my call from Zoe for ITT, which surely can't be long coming now), I rarely get to watch live.

However, I am delurking to say that I am VERY much looking forward to this:

Kate and Aljaz, Foxtrot to ‘Why Don’t You Do Right’ from Who Framed Roger Rabbit

TheSassyAssassin · 04/10/2018 16:15

Nicely steered back to Strictly there Quantum Wink These threads always morph into random chats when we're not watching the dancing. V amusing! Smile

QuantumWeatherButterfly · 04/10/2018 16:34

Ha! I didn't mean to un-derail you (rerail?)

As it happens, my first car was a custard yellow austin metro. It was every bit as appalling as it sounds.

As you wereSmile

dontcallmelen · 04/10/2018 16:45

Aww Quantum I’m the guilty derailer one, I also had a Austin metro it was navy with different coloured doors & a black bonnet, she was called Doris & you had to keep the choke out with a clothes peg I loved that car.

QuantumWeatherButterfly · 04/10/2018 17:06

Mine was custard all over, and the choke generally behaved. But every single door had a different key, plus there was yet another one for the ignition - but that one did at least open the boot. The day I lost that lot was expensive.

MozzieMagnet · 04/10/2018 18:15

Love a custard yellow car

Wink

aarghh! letterbox is just crap hangman, bring back eggheads, all is forgiven

FuzzyCustard · 04/10/2018 18:34

'Scuse me...custard is THE BEST!

FuzzyCustard · 04/10/2018 18:37

I do love these threads....dancing chat when we can and random otherness when we can't.
Love you all.

(I am practising my Oscar winning speech here)

MozzieMagnet · 04/10/2018 19:10

Aw you know I was teasing. Have a Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame to go with that Oscar fuzzy. So I finally saw It takes two in real time but was gutted that Seann and Katya didn't show us how that ending was meant to go! either on ITT or via rehearsal/training footage, I still don't have a clue what it was supposed to look like.
Would have been good to have had Seann in the dannce off just to have seenn it againn but alas, was not to be. He has grown on me though, very personable.

TheSassyAssassin · 04/10/2018 19:13

Just been watching Gav & Stacey on The One Show. They are very relaxed together and are clearly enjoying themselves. I know she isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I really like Stacey. Honest and literally says what she's thinking.

MozzieMagnet · 04/10/2018 19:25

I like her too but poor woman having to do minions. Katie's la la land dress is fabulous.

TheSassyAssassin · 04/10/2018 19:31

Yes minions is a tough call but reckon she'll have fun with it!

In other news David Attenborough is back with Dynasties which looks incredible. Sooo we might be able to combine Strictly and Attenborough again soon Grin

MozzieMagnet · 04/10/2018 19:53

Ooh I just saw the trailer. DH burst out laughing at my face, raised his eyebrow and said: Mild peril?

Game of survival Ruelle - inspired music choice.
TheSassyAssassin · 04/10/2018 19:56

Looks fabulous doesn't it? Can't wait! Smile

MozzieMagnet · 04/10/2018 19:57

very dramatic.
Asks fuzzy for a hug, while rocking back and forth in the corner....

MozzieMagnet · 04/10/2018 20:01

It does sass I do have a spot for David (aka Knight with the scorpion tattoo) 92 and still got it.

FuzzyCustard · 04/10/2018 20:49

Aw hugs for you Mozzie...

MozzieMagnet · 04/10/2018 23:34

Thank you fuzzy Grin

ppeatfruit · 05/10/2018 07:51

Fuzzy and Wolf Just to return to minis. dh LOVED the effing things, talk about bumpy I don't think they had any suspension at all! A horse and cart would've been better Grin

I like Stacey a lot too Sassy She does dance well considering she's not had training.

I did notice a certain falseness in Faye's puffing at rehearsal.

EvilRingahBitch · 05/10/2018 09:19

Rachel.
