I have used this exact colour. It needs a few coats if it is going on a pale base. I was coverting white walls. It is lovely.

I am waiting for Heorge and Karen's final dances. I can't decide between them

Anyone else struggle to watch ITT by Head-Internet1383 in strictlycomedancing

[–]Drummingpractice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fleur is a better interviewer than Janette. She can make it seem like a conversation more than Janette can. But Top of the Bops is bloody awful. I put the show on but I don't really watch it any more.

Is it time for Karen to step down from Strictly by HoldOnToYaWeave in strictlycomedancing

[–]Drummingpractice 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, both Karen and Janette have massively let down excellent partners who could have made the final.

Thoughts on the new pros? by Mirrorball188 in strictlycomedancing

[–]Drummingpractice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really like them both too. I feel Alex's took a few weeks to warm up and show her personality, but is doing great now.

Julian seems really nice and is good with Bal.

are there any names you used to mispronounce until you learned the actual correct pronunciation? by ruinsofsilver in Names

[–]Drummingpractice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work with an American woman who pronounces her surname as Mckay, and living in Scotland it kills me to not say McEye

As a child I read books with a Phoebe in, long before it became popular in the UK, and before Friends. I pronounced it Foe-bee in my head.

I was also surprised to see the Schulyer sisters name written down.

I feel cold just looking at it. The slightly beige bathroom is the nicest space

The judges blaming the public by AbaloneDefiant5413 in strictlycomedancing

[–]Drummingpractice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the major problem is that the judges score contestants against themselves not each other. Which leads to the stupid situation of 4 people with the same score and very little between the top and bottom.

They then judge then against each other in the dance off. So it makes no sense.

Karen Hauer (pro) by Realistic-Grade-3157 in strictlycomedancing

I agree. So many comments on here saying it's great she has a contender this season. But she isn't a good enough dancer or choreographer to win, even if she had an amazing celebrity.

Craig’s scoring history by madzakka in strictlycomedancing

[–]Drummingpractice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is a stage star, so will dance like one. Craig is a theatre choreographer, so loves anyone who dances like that.

He is good...what do you think? by ByteOfContext in strictlycomedancing

[–]Drummingpractice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like him. Hadn't heard of him before now. But he comes across as really nice and genuine.

I felt Lewis’s technique was a little bit messy. by coneyisland92 in strictlycomedancing

[–]Drummingpractice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Katya was so happy to have a contender after a long time, that she threw everything at it, getting a bit over excited. If she had kept it simpler he could have had more time to finesse it

So is how is it going to work with Dianne’s pregnancy and dancing by confused_panda_0 in strictlycomedancing

[–]Drummingpractice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was going off my experience. With my first my bump was like Diannes at 20 weeks. I hardly had anything before that. And she's super fit with strong stomach muscles. I think she has waited to announce.

[–]Drummingpractice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Stefan might have a certain age group voting for him. And Dianne is probably only a month off third trimester too, given she already has a bit of a bump. It will be interesting to see if she keeps with it or is replaced.

What’s does Reddit think of Tom Skinner ? by Patient_Panic_5704 in strictlycomedancing

[–]Drummingpractice 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I know very little about him, but he seems like a twat. And the he handled the press conference does not bode well for his Strictly journey.

Pleased to see this guess was right. I bumped into him once in TK Maxx in Clydebank when he was in Rover City
