    Angry Ten things I hate about dancing

    As an antidote to all the "Aint dancing great?!" comments on the forum, I felt that a bit of spleen-venting is in order. Especially as I'm supposed to be dancing somewhere, a long way away, right now, and all I want to do is sleep, and I know I'll get lost or crash the car or something and I can't decide what to wear, and... and... and...

    So here's my personal top ten of things I hate about dancing - for today anyway - in no particular order....

    1. Knowing I have to go to work in the morning.
    2. The ludicrous amount of washing I have to do after just one night out.
    3. Being brutalised on the dancefloor.
    4. Other people's sweat.
    5. Being perved over (what's wrong with him?!)
    6. Not being perved over (what's wrong with me?!)
    7. Having simply nothing to wear, darling!
    8. Being a wallflower.
    9. Repeatedly getting lost on the way to venues, to the point of crying.
    10. Being cack at it.

    Not a lot of people know this

    But a Tom Tom is even more important than a new pair of shoes

    It really is amazing when you arrive at a Westland’s which is hidden down a maze of back streets in Yeovill

    With ever looking at a map, or stopping to ask directions

    For some of us, this is the best bit.

    I totally sympathise - this was me until Father Christmas gave me sat nav - it can get really scary especially when you are on your own driving late at night. I have ended up in some very remote places and once on a country road with a ford - no idea how deep it was - I almost panicked and ploughed through but common sense took over and I ended up having to reverse all down this lane and eventually found an alternative route. Glad I did as that very week - this lane was on TV due to the number of people who have been stuck there!

    Get yourself sat nav chick - you will be able to relax then. I must warn you though, it makes you even less aware of where places are as you end up blindly following the spoken directions. I am just glad to get there and back though without stressing!

    At least I'm not on my own with sore balls, they itch as well I wake up in the middle of the night needing to give them a good scratch.

    You do have to be careful with sat nav though, I live near a ford, and have seen numerous vehicles attempting to cross it or reverse up the road because they have been sent that way by their sat.nav. It is a shorter route to come via the ford, but not quicker, especially when you have to wait for your engine to dry out/the rescue service...

    Hmmm, some good ones, there. Here's my ten:

    1) Having to arrange (and sometimes pay) for someone to look after my dog.
    2) Trying on nearly everything in my wardrobe, deciding I'm too fat to wear 99% of my clothes, and ending up with black combats and black t-shirt.
    3) Not having a car, and having to pester people for lifts all the time.
    4) Missing out on dancing when I can't get a lift.
    5) Spending too much money on dancing / weekenders / clothes / shoes....
    6) My own silly insecurities re. my dance abilities.
    7) Not being asked for a dance....
    8) Pervs.
    9) Stinkers.
    10) Yankers.

    Good grief...

    Right, it all goes into Room 101.

    There. Gone.

    Better now?

    Re: Ten things I hate about dancing

    Oooh, good thread!

    1. All these black dance bags, I can never find mine...
    2. The lack of even numbers - it's no picnic for men either, believe me.
    3. Dodgem car dancers.
    4. That sinking feeling when the night starts to go wrong and you know it's not going to get any better...
    5. The fact that one Bad Dance With A Hotshot can spoil the evening
    6. 10.30pm finishes.
    7. Lack of proper venues and facilities.
    8. Being intimidated by the Good Dancers.
    9. Intimidating the Really Good Dancers ( )
    10. Blues rooms which aren't...

    I do think sat nav - (Tom Tom? Who on earth decided to call them that?!) - would make me worse. I got horribly lost in Stoke last night. Again. And I knew where to go - I just couldn't see it; if I had to listen to some machine as well... Thank God I don't chew gum. Plus I'd probably have a complete wobbler every time that smug little voice repeated the words: "You have missed your destination." Nnnnggghhh!!!

    Are you sure they were yours?!
    Especially seeing as you say you're not on your own.

    I can never come up with ten of these things. So:

    1) Luvvie-ism
    2) Travelling
    3) Being turned down
    4) Laundry
    5) Addiction

    The only thing I sleep with on a regular basis is my laptop
    Unless Fletch or Taz stay, but then I don't have an urge in the middle of the night to scratch theirs
