Competition News

Hi All,
Thought i'd post a few photos of todays competition for you all to see. All in all it was a fab day, although very long! I think we did Kellys proud. I think we all had a few dodgy moments.....but...... I got through qualifiers in Ballroom, so will now be dancing in Blackpool in April! :-) Shereen got through in both Ballroom and Latin, as did Georgia (and for those that know her, Daniela got into the Latin.)

Will tell you all about it on thursday. L

(ballroom pics attached, latin in then next post)

Quads

Hi All,

Despite the rediculous level of pain in my quads (after Sundays 1/2 marathon) I'll still be:

a) at dancing tomorrow, &

b) running the Cabbage Patch 10 on Sunday

The race starts at 10am from near the CP, I've created a predicted mile split guide so as supporters you'll know when & where to stand and cheer. I'll print a few out and bring them along tomorrow.

I will be great if you can make it along to support, the more support the quicker I'll be able to join you in the pub for a celebratory beer!!

SCD eye candy

Telephone conversation this morning with friend:
me: did you see SCD last Night? Her: no I have recorded it, was it good?
me: Ola Jordan's outfit was special; "out-touch" as it touched her body in so few places.
her: You mean it was like a tent? me: No, more like just the guide ropes.
her: Oh I see, who was her partner? me: Umm, not sure, did not really notice one.

Tune in next week to Strictly Come Letching!

Rumbled the Rumba

Having watched Saturday's SCD, Nick has clearly got the Rumba all wrong! Where he shows a posture and the hand holds, in The Real Rumba (TRR), the man fondles the girl round the waist while she faces him and caresses his chest, Nick shows a series of different moves, while all that seems necessary is endless spining by the intertwined couple, and as for Nick's boring turn-on-the-spot, well it does not match the finish with the man's knee supporting the girl's crotch while she leans back! I am not sure about the pelvic thrusts performed by the girl when the man has his back to her? Maybe Gary and his special area of expertise can shed some light?

So how do we break it to Nick that he has got it wrong? Maybe an extra class called "Sexy Rumba for 18+ adults"? Views please.

Entered for October 24th. FIngers crossed!!!!

No Nick, No Daddy Kelly, No Cornellia.......

Hi All,

Plan for next Thursday is to meet at ours (8 Briar Road, Twickenham, TW2 6RB) from 7.30. We'll sink a glass of wine as we all arrive then head on foot towards Pincho Tapas bar in Church Street (http://www.pincho.co.uk/).

I've booked a table for 10-12 at 9pm.

You can get me on 07900 212725 if you need more info.

See you then

Andy

a huge WELL DONE to all of us!!!!!

Imagine what our results would've been without the nerves!!

I think Daddy Kelly in bits was the highlight for me - very funny (thanks Jo and Andy :))!

I hear you all had a great afternoon at the polo - sorry I missed it but look forward to the next outing :)

Many congrats to all!

See you Thursday

Kingston - Petersham Rd (Polo Field)

Guys as Sarah predicted the 65 runs from Kingston to the Polo.

I called the Polo club and they confirmed they have fixtures for Sunday, however the start time has been brought forward to 1pm therefore after we all Ace the exam I suggest a super quick celebratory beer before we pick up the bus from Cromwell Bus station.

Entrance is £10 per car or £2 per person.

Weather is looking up for Sunday sunny intervals with highs of 23C.

ball-flat ball-flat ball-flat etc.

In the spirit of all things random.....

I was FW:'d this and thought you guys might appreciate it (on various levels!)




I wish i could be half as graceful and supple as she is! The music is a fab argentine tango track - Santa Maria (del Buen Ayre) by Gotan Project - for the eagle eyed (or just damn right geeky) amongst us, it was featured in the film "Shall We Dance"........So i'll leave you with a quote: "The rumba is the vertical expression of a horizontal wish" (thanks J-Lo)

See you all thursday :-)

Phase 1, The Bar

Kelly's Gala Ball 16th May 2009

What have we missed???

Couldn't make Thursday - we were in Shropshire on way back from Yorkshire. Jamie was in a rabbit pen with Floss and "The best gun dog trainer in the world' (apparently she killed one of his rabbits!), while I was left in a nearby pub. The first hour was great.......but two and a half hours!!!.....when we could have been dancing!!!! Grrrr! Hope we didn't miss much?
On a lighter note, am very excited about the polo match. Will obviously have to discuss outfits on Thursday, see you all then, Angela x

Ham Polo Picnic - Update

From the replies it looks like Sunday 5th of July is the best date.

We can work details nearer the time - hopefully you can all make it.

See you tonight.......

Hey - follow the Doodle link on Andy's post "Ham Polo Club" and stick in the dates you are free.
Think the plan is to go with the date that suits most people

Have a good weekend

The way to a mans heart

Hi All,

Great night at the ball eh?

Dance-On

A fellow virgin attempts to post...

Ah, have I finally discovered how to post something instead of commenting? Being a fellow blog virgin, I hope so...
Am def up for a Polo picnic - how very civilized!
See you all Thursday. Hopefully Nick will be as attentive as last week. If not, I shall have words again ;)

16 days to go and I'm surfing for suitable shoes (obviously talking about the ball here!) so thought I'd log in and say hi.

Hope you've beaten swine 'flu Jamie?

See you all on Thursday
