my mum ended up backstage with Slade - my dad went frackin' nuts
I distinctly remember there being 'atmosphere' the next day around a night out they'd had when I was a kid. It became a standing joke in the family, whenever it went quiet at a big family event my dad would just shout out 'what happened behind that door at Slade?' to which my mum would always respond 'I got you a poster didn't I?'
I genuinely hadn't thought about it and have tweeked the words slightly to make it less predictable - I was trying to be pleasant but I can now see where that might go.

No invite as far as i know. She deserves the spotlight
ah ok, well look I asked around on VT and said will anyone have JJ around tomorrow for a nice cup of tea and a photo opportunity, please raise your hand
bugger!
nah, they just said on the news that Yarnold is going to 10 Downing Street tomorrow, so I just thought, y'know, hopefully everyone got an invite because frankly, JJ was first and made everyone everywhere smile
he'll probably try and copy the idea of his great mate toby young and turn abject failure into a witty after dinner routine / book / chat show anecdote
I say great mate, I'm just presuming they stick together because they are both great big words removed.
If it's Strictly, it would be an amazing experience.
The team are the happiest people in TV, a pleasure to be around. They genuinely love it.
but you have to take a Brucie Bonus
OVER?
are you kidding?
You've got years ahead of you of stumbling into people's chalet's smelling of booze and cheap sausage and shouting 'd'you know who I am? I'm that **** Jenny Jones, yeah!'
Then sobering up and being talked into one last competition where you beat the Russians and the Yanks.
You train by running up loads of steps and beating up meat. There's a love triangle, a teaching assistant with a weird hat fetish and the old man that makes shelves in the village.
They paint a letterbox in Bristol claret and blue for you and Jonathon Ross and Russell Brand cameo as a kinky doctor.
It's a film idea I'm pitching to Channel 5, I've told them you're totally up for it.
Shed loads.
Both comp, one sitting GCSE's which is mightily pishing me off right now. We had a parents evening and the teachers basically said 'progress excellent but we've got loads of syllabus to cover over the next 3 months'...er, why? They've had 2 years to get them through the course and with 3 months to go this appears to have taken them by surprise. Hence the homework.
What's more, with apparently 'loads' to still cover for the first time in many subjects, they've come home with a letter asking for £200 each to go to London to see a couple of musicals! That's what I call mixed messages.
Well off topic here.
