NewsGush: John, I’m Only Dancing

I don’t watch this, I don’t like dancing and I’m too busy watching the X Factor. But apparently this is news to some people.

I do like that footage from Strictly Come Dancing of John Sergeant dragging his blonde along the floor, mind you. It’s classy.

I wonder what his wife thinks?

Is Christine Bleakely still in it?

    I was walking past Television Centre about and hour ago and there are a fair few Paparrazi waiting for him. It’s all very odd.

    I’ve overdone it today.

    Never, in the field of light-entertainment, have so many jealous competitive celebrity dancers and infuriated judges owed so much to one with so few talents when it comes to sashaying. If the British Broadcasting Corporation lasts a thousand years, we will still look back on this moment and say, “This was its finest hour.”

    No ice. No sell. They don’t even fly around attached to wires and David Seaman isn’t in it no more. Pointless.

    Can we have Celebrity Black and White Mintrals next please?

    I’m bored bumless. I think Wednesday afternoon rivals Tuesday morning for being rubbish.

    Discuss.

    I’m listening to old Milton Jones struff on Radio 7

    The only day I can’t stomach is Sunday.

    Everyday is equally greay and pitiful for me, especially with Christmas coming. It reminds me of how little I have and how little I’ve achieved since last year. I’m also having to work Christmas Eve and Boxing Day so will have to visit old friends and parents in Scotland a week before the day; I will be spending Christmas alone in my room eating Bernard Matthews burgers and tinned mushy peas. What’s another Wednesday?

    Full marks for positive thinking there, Dave.

    Some pubs are open on Christmas day, and there’s no shame in drinking alone.

    Wednesday afternoon is when the office morons come up to you and say “We’re over halfway through the week!” – every fucking week.

    ‘Past the hump’ they tend to say.

    It’d go a lot faster if they didn’t measure it, then relay back our progress.

    Isn’t it simply a politeness marker?

    SH – Past the hump? Not heard that one.

    Although not a day of the week, when you wake up thinking it’s the weekend, only to be proved horribly wrong, must be up there with Wednesday afternoons?

    Nappers – I quite like a well spent Sunday these days. Must be the lack of hangover. I get chores out of the way by midday then loaf. Nothing wrong with that.

    That’s a terrible sensation, Milky. Very similar to waking up late and realising you set the alarm for pm rather than am, then running around like a madman, upping the potential for a bleary-eyed toe-stubbing.

    Talking of lists??? haha!

    Full marks for the mushy peas though…

    Nick T – Campbells. Washed down with Tennants Super and a cocktail of pills.

    Like you I cannot believe that this is news:

    Thank goodness for Bleakley and Daly. Real women!!!

    You should try Diamond White then you won’t need the pills.

    Been there, done it http://nicktann.blogspot.com/2008/11/celebrity-cum.html

    Whatever next? Hitchcock’s corpse waltzing with Girls Aloud?

    IT COULD HAPPEN!

    By the way, was it really so quiet today that the last two posts were plugs?

  • Posted November 19, 2008 at 5:28 pm | Permalink

    How were they plugs?

    I meant comments, silly me. Moments after reading this I got invited to the ‘Bring Back John Sergeant’ facebook group. Apparently he’s leaving the show.

  • Posted November 19, 2008 at 10:46 pm | Permalink

    I plug, it’s like a kind of tourettes, I just can’t help myself.
    To be fair (and why not?) it was relevant.
    It’s not always…..

  • Posted November 19, 2008 at 11:55 pm | Permalink

    They’re not plugs. It’s link-sharing.

    being a sergeant in the swedish army myself, i feel sympathy for john sergeant.

    on the other hand i feel disgusted about the show and the shitty format. i don’t care about c-list celebs and their dance moves. we’ve had our share of likeable losers that cannot move on the dance floor but somehow turns into heroes by popular vote as well. i can’t stand it.

    You can only plug things you are selling, surely?

    It’s Anti Bullying Week……
