    A Plum appreciation thread

    No, nothing to do with fruit (or vaguely sexual innuendo) but isn't it funny how things you write can sometimes come back to bite you in the ar*e

    On a thread re: sabotage/hijacking I wrote this:

    In my defence this post
    * is about my feelings when being sabotaged, not about the quality of the saboteur. I could have said the same about any number of very good followers but this one...
    * ...references Plum only because an early poster named her
    * has a very tongue in cheek last remark

    Let me state for the record that Plum is an excellent dancer and anyone's night will be enhanced by a dance or few with her (as was mine last night).

    Lena... notable at first glance by the lack of any hair! Notable after dancing with her, that she's very playful, passionate and stylish!

    She sometimes has her daughter with her too. She is a very accomplished dancer as well

    She was the first woman to really play and take me well and truly out of my comfort zone in days gone by at Ashtons !

    Oh, no she isn't! Touchy that is. Far from it in fact. She is bemused that anyone would even take the time to comment on her dancing.

    Thanks for the nice comments, though.

    Plum's daughter was equally bemused to get a mention.

    Ps. Thank for a great couple of dances on Saturday night, Rob.
