Strickly & the Like

No not alone we've never watched it, doesn't interest me at all.

I’m bored out of my skull with it but DH is still watching it. Last night wheeeeee!

At the moment I’m recording the sleigh ride. Now that is a total anecdote to all this tripe.

Thank goodness it's not just me , I was beginning to feel liked an old grouch!!

Dogs? Mangers?

Definitely, but peaceful ?

maybe you are an old grouch...isn't it nice to see/hear people enjoying themselves ?

It's simple - don't turn the programme on if you don't like it then you wouldn't need to listen to people enjoying themselves . We don't all have the same tastes after all .

PS - it is Strictly not Strickly

Try watching with the sound off - I often do that. Many programmes don't need sound.

There’s quite a lot of unconscious humour resulting from predictive texting and irony around notagran and I suspect “strickly” is ironic

But an “anecdote to all this tripe” ? That has to be down to predictive text (I hope)

Do watch “The sleigh ride” it is such a calming and gentle 2 hours. Vast tundra set in the twilight of an Artic winter, with two Sami women leading their reindeer and sledges, delivering mail etc.
The walk on the edge of the Tiara forest that holds a third of the world’s trees and completely encircles the globe.

It is glorious viewing.

Its the moronic handclapping that gets to me- they carry on when the music has stopped!

So agree - this is the second time I have watched the sleigh ride - I love these slow TV programmes. I sat in front of the wood burner stitching a tapestry and just relaxed - wonderful!

You're not alone Bridgeit

We rarely watch Strictly but thought we would watch to see who won last night, the mute button was in operation much of the time!

Have never watched Strictly. My dd thinks I'm weird! She was all excited last night about the final.
Last night I watched a recorded old episode of Taggart - zoom through the ads - and fell asleep on the sofa before the end, as is so often my wont.

Thank you for the tip about Sleigh Ride - I must watch it.

So sorry for the oversight in misspelling Stricly ,Strictly ,I m
usually on the ball with spelins (Haha spelling)but thanks for pointing it outMawBroon, must have been the excitement of starting a thread ?

I used to like Come Dancing, even at a young age. I’ve never really taken to Strictly.
But I can appreciate how others would enjoy it.

How did you do that Bridgeit ?

I'm with you, Bridgeit. I don't even remember children screaming and whooping like that when I was young, let alone adults. It seems to be the norm now, but i really, really don't like it!

I do like Strictly but agree that some of the jokes, antics, screeching and jumping around are becoming very irritating. My cousin says that she turns the sound off for everything but the dancing.
