Josy1953 Posted October 30, 2020 #7631 Share Posted October 30, 2020 We are just back from Tatton Park, as Presto said it was lovely and quiet, we really enjoyed the walk, the autumn colours are lovely. We decided to call and visit David's aunt in Knutsford, we hadn't warned her but she was pleased to have visitors even though we obviously stood in the garden chatting to her while she stood just inside the door. So a lovely afternoon out despite the cold and odd shower. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalos Posted October 30, 2020 #7637 Share Posted October 30, 2020 For some of you ladies who have been feeling down this week and thinking when will something good happen ?

wowzz Posted October 30, 2020 #7638 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Changing the subject, we have binge watched "The Bridge" series 3, over the last couple of nights (scandi noir crime thriller). Having just watched the last episode, we are so confused that we think we might need to watch the whole 10 hours again. Anyone else had the same problem? As an aside, I think Saga Norén is my favourite TV detective after the great Andy Sipowicz in NYPD Blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den of Geek seems to do the Netflix series we've watched like Ozark and Breaking Bad. We find both are well written and provide an interesting read in any event. I just Google eg Line of Duty Series X episode X or whatever and they pop up. I've pulled up the last episode, if that's the right series/episode.

Any thoughts on who will be the first to be voted off? A big fat YES!!! 😁 Always been a big fan but this year I'm finding it an especially welcome distraction and a programme guaranteed to lift my spirits. Provides a real feel good factor injected into the Autumn programming. I was really impressed with the way last week's prog went - imo it really didn't suffer from the Covid modifications they'd had to make. In fact the pro dance was superb. I think they benefited from dedicated rehearsal time and being able to concentrate on creating those prior to the start of the series and not having to squeeze the rehearsals in between training their celebs. To answer your question, I think Jackie will be the first to go. I think she's a bit stiff, perhaps not a natural mover and has the Samba - possibly the worst dance given what I think her weaknesses are. I am pleasantly surprised by quite a lot of the celebs - fair bit of potential. I think it will be a good series. Have you got any early favourites? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty good, but a bit like condensing War and Peace into a single page! I think that perhaps some of the attraction of series like The Bridge, is the complexity of the plot, red herrings etc, so to completely understand it would be, ironically, disappointing. Which could of course be applied to various other genres, such as The Wasteland, or Waiting for Godot. Sounds like a good subject for a thesis!

kalos Posted October 31, 2020 #7643 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Here we are the UK's first official (covid) Halloween ... Latest spooky news is .... Scientists have discovered another deadly pathogen they are calling the Peekaboo virus. Doctors are sending anyone with peekaboo straight to ICU. No surprise that Halloween will not be the same this year ...nobody wants to wear a mask ! Also I can’t believe people are letting fireworks off in October! It’s scared the dog so badly he’s only gone and knocked our Christmas tree over. Recently schools have been educating the kids about covid so if moneys a little tight, now would be a a good time for priming the kids to accept that Santa won't be able to visit this Christmas due to lockdown measures. I went into a fancy dress shop earlier: I asked“Have you got a ghost costume please?” “No we haven’t I’m afraid” replied the woman. “Don’t be ” I said, “they’re not real.” I must try not to fall out with the wife this year . Last year I answered the door and shouted to the wife .. "There's a witch at our door " The wife shouted back "Give her a bag of sweets and then close the door " Which I did ...... If she calls this year I think i'll just let her mother in this time . Also for all you" would be P&O choir singers", here's help for you to adapt your songs this year due to covid All together now ... 🎶 On The Twelfth Tier Of Lockdown .... 🎶 Take care folks ! 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No great talent, and no chance of a sympathy vote as she is not that likeable. Anton can put his feet up for another year. I hope the BBC keep an eye on her expenses! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Jackie is likely to be voted off first.I think its a pity that it is one of the 'older' contestants who is the worst dancer but I thought Caroline Quentin danced well (for an oldie!) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jamie is in the dance off I hope that he is the one to go regardless of who the other person is because he came across as really irritating. I want Jackie to stay because poor Anton always ( with the exception of last year ) gets one of the worst dancers and he tries his hardest to pull them through. I think that Maisie was brilliant. I will be glued to the TV tonight 💃 We had planned to be driving to Southampton today to go to the Canaries for our anniversary cruise and now it looks like that we may be in lockdown instead. 😢 Edited October 31, 2020 by Josy1953 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a fan of Maisie. Great dancer and works hard, but I find her a bit full of herself and over confident (which I know is unfair as probably delightful). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
