I wonder how long he practiced for this ?

Is it usual now for the bride to dance with her grandfather in the first dance ........... ? smile

Oh, that’s unkind.

TBH, I looked at the clip and couldn’t see what the fuss was about.

When did the Johnson's do anything "usual"?

And why should they?

Baggs Sat 06-Aug-22 13:57:22

I wonder how many GNers would even allow a skit of them dancing to 1960's popular music to be shown on social media.

I'd actually like to see some of you dancing ?

(I have danced (Scottish) in public many times, including on TV once.)

Oh dear, I just showed DH and now he's walking round waving his arms about and singing Sweet Caroline ?

I think I must be the only person on the planet who hasn't watched Dirty Dancing. Obviously seen clips, heard the music but that's it. Maybe one day.

I haven't seen it or heard the music. Probably never will unless it's forced on me in my dotage.

I have heard of it. I suppose that's a start ?

That's the problem with Dad/Grandad dancing, they don't know how to control their arms to move in unison with their body.

eezybee Quite right, I noticed the spelling mistake after I’d posted (as usual).
Why are some people assuming that I posted this to be nasty? Have none of you heard Peter Kay or other comedians do his/their bit about “Dad dancing”? That’s what this wee video brought to my mind.

Chewbacca Sat 06-Aug-22 13:27:49

I can't bear the man one bit; but even I think it's a low blow to criticise a man for dancing with his young son.

Kandinsky

For all the ‘Boris Bashing’ on here he wouldn’t look twice at any of us - he’s with a beautiful woman in her early 30’s.
He looks very happy to me ?

I beg to differ!
As was said about Clinton, ‘he’s a very difficult dog to keep on the porch’
I reckon that his tastes are probably quite eclectic

Oh, I don't think so.
Can't imagine him behaving as Clinton has reputedly done.

Oh I’m sure he has a wandering eye, but I doubt it wanders as far as pensioners ?

I notice for once his hair looks quite presentable. So he can make the effort!

I don’t think that we have seen the back of Johnson at all.
Truss will make a complete mess of things, and the Conservatives will be begging for him to return.
There will be a GE and Labour will be far too preoccupied with falling out with each other about to put on a united front.
Meanwhile the Tories will all stand firmly behind their man, and Johnson will romp home.

If your prediction was to come true, I fear many on GN would be having an attack of the vapours ????

How sad poking fun.
I quite like seeing people enjoying themselves, better than looking at miserable faces.

That’s how I feel, they are celebrating their marriage surrounded by friends and family.

I know.
It’s my cheerful ‘glass half-full’ optimism that keeps me going…
Not to mention my faith in the Great British Public wink

I think the Boris Bashing that happens on here is nothing compared to the way Corbyn was treated.

Does it actually matter? Doesn’t affect us.

He is going but he hopes to return. A disaster for the UK just like Brexit.

GrannyGravy13 Sat 06-Aug-22 11:51:49

I do wonder who will come in for constant derision once Mr.Johnson is no longer on the scene?

Boris Bashing has become a daily occurrence for some on GN, no doubt they will miss him dearly…
