Dirty Dancing

Yeah you're right - there's nothing like an eye catching title to attract attention!

Anyhow I was a bit disappointed when the 'celebrities' for the new Strictly were announced yesterday - thought I had a fair shout to be honest. I always feel equal rejection when I'm missed out in the New Year's honours list, or Scotland 50 most 'eligibles' - I mean what more have I got to do!

I've always fancied my prowess as a potential John Travolta, although any attempt at the passadouble is likely to put me in plaster. In reality, I would probably fall into the John Sergeant category and end up dragging my partner round the dance floor.

I've always reckoned that Michael Jackson or Fred Astaire (or even Elvis) would have made fine tennis players on the basis of their footwork alone. Tennis is more of a 'moving' game than a 'hitting' game. If you're not in the right position, then no matter how good your technique, you will struggle to control your shot.

So there you are folks - forget grips, slices and topspin, put on your dancin' shoes!

My tip for Strictly - well Paul Daniels could be a tricky customer, but what about Felicity Kendall, former belly dancer, or Michelle Williams (she is some mover).

Welcome to the fall!
