This season
especially after the one that went before. Yes I realise that wasn't really me failing so much as Forest. And referees.

Next season will be better though, oh yes.

I think the important thing is that you're doing it
not that you're spectacular at it
because it's more of the point that women like men to do things they like with them

You are correct on all counts
Fuck knows what would happen if I walked away. I can't help but wish I was better at it though.

Yeah I genuinely do
But it's enormously frustrating, well, the competition side of it is anyway

do you do shows?
I was at the celtic fest over the weekend and there were dancers there, I was just thinking how I rarely see dancers at festivals
( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 14:43, Reply)

Did you get drunk at the celtic festival?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 14:46, Reply)

no
it was the shittest festival I've ever been to
there was only one beer tent, they had bud, bud light and shock top
then there was a whiskey/rum/bourbon tent that gave away one half shot
and only one food stand that served hot dogs
( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 14:48, Reply)

So it wasn't a true Celtic experience then.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 14:50, Reply)

hahaha no
there was some dude walking around in a TOGA
( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 14:54, Reply)

I hope you told the organiser that his festival was 'fucking bent' as you left.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 14:55, Reply)

I didn't expect much, I was just disappointed that the majority of booths were people selling their own business
like the guy selling wiperblades, and the chick selling make up
and then they had the clan tents set up but when you walked by they didn't say anything, just sort of looked at you

but the music and dancing was nice
( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 14:57, Reply)

We do occasionally but not often
Unless you mean showing her extended family a Jive like we did at the weekend. Easily impressed bunch.

Also:
I've had a reply from 12 Yard, with an application form. The cutoff for this season was in February, but if we apply they will keep us on file for next season.

That's excellent news
How many names can we put down? I think it said teams of six when I looked at it - wasn't sure if that had to include a reserve.

I can't remember.
But each member has to fill in a form, with a photograph.

Best start holding those auditions then
I think Kroney was unimpressed with the prospect of a trip to Glasgow, which means our list consists of Vipros, Bobby, AA, Boss Keloid and Berk.

One question - is there anything on there about "have you appeared on TV in the last 18 months", or the like? There was something about that on TWL and obviously that would exclude me

but I don't think it said anything about ruling you out. And we wouldn't make the cut for this season anyway, so it might end up being that long before they get round to us.

Depends what show people have appeared on.
I'm guessing 'Crimewatch' would be met with a few additional questions being asked.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 14:44, Reply)

Have you or appeared on any other TV programmes before? If yes, please give details (including without limitation all television appearances completed and pending (as is applicable) and the name of the show, nature of your participation, broadcast date, channel, any prizes won and any other information as you see fit)

Yeah that's not the same wording as TWL
