What about that bubblewrap with huge 'bubbles' that they use to pad out parcels. That is scary stuff to jump on. grin

Dance on the bubble wrap – it's so much fun. grin

I've never forgotten a moment in time when I saw a mum and her little girl - about ten I suppose - skipping along in a Littlewoods store, singing a song. Something about "..... Jesus in the morning".

They looked so happy. smile

Littlenell - smile + [hug]

A day or moment of dance captures many memories.

No nanad but I know she will be dancing around the kitchen with me ,because that is what we always did,and sometimes we had been known to break into a dance in Asda before it came fashionable to be in a flash mob...happy dayssunshine

nellie flowers it never goes away does it? X

Butternut Tue 25-Sept-12 11:23:01

Oh J - good to have you back from your hols. grin

JO4 Tue 25-Sept-12 10:31:52

You do all realise that you have to go out in the street and BE SEEN doing this dancing? (Round the kitchen table will not cut it) (Or by a lonely lochside Bags, lovely as that image may be smile)

And most of the passers by will not know why the flip you are doing it?

(my speakers seem to have packed in so I don't know if Ruby tells you where to go to dance. I tried lip reading. No good.)

I will dance for Katy....my darling daughter

Bags Mon 24-Sept-12 20:50:30

Yes, I'll second that, and will dance for others.

Butternut Mon 24-Sept-12 20:46:35

Well said, glass.sunshine

whenim64 Mon 24-Sept-12 20:42:39

Much respect, Ruby Wax! I will join in, too. It's immaterial whether women have been bullied or not, for this cause. We should all stand shoulder to shoulder to end male bullying

Grannyknot Mon 24-Sept-12 20:19:42

Me too - Ruby is a bit um, peculiar, but she's kind of grown on me. Reminds me of the Maya Angelou poem Still We Rise this campaign.

glassortwo Mon 24-Sept-12 20:16:51

All Gn should dance on the 14th, even if your lucky and have not had a bully in your life stand strong for those that have.

glitabo Mon 24-Sept-12 20:13:04

I watched the video and then followed the link to 1 billion rising

It made me weep for all women and my 2 lovely DiLs and my 2 beautiful GDs.
I can empathise with Ruby Wax. My father was a bully and my ex husband was a bully and my mother only loved her sons.
Why are men so frightened of women that they have to destroy them?
I will dance on Feb 14th next year and I will dance with my GDs.

glassortwo Mon 24-Sept-12 20:06:01

Its in my diary Jess

glassortwo Mon 24-Sept-12 20:05:06

Yes good for you Ruby.

JessM Mon 24-Sept-12 20:01:28

I hope many GN members will participate in this day of action against violence to women - date for your diaries now - 14 Feb, 2013.
