Hi David,
Sorry, but the first dance with Sheena is mine and I am not going to risk missing that.!!
This is an admirable excuse, Wardy,
and one I have no problem with. Besides, my dancing ability being
virtually non-existent, I'm sure this is one of many areas in which
your ability will far outshine my own.
However,
at some point during the evening I will be hanging around hoping I get
a chance with Sheena during an 'excuse me' - and yes, Wardy, I am old
enough to know what that is!

As you are the resident musician on this thread I would be looking for odds on this one.!
Well,
considering how the bookies have slashed the odds of the Jedwards from
50/1 to 10/1 - and people (including me, I'm ashamed to say) are giving
a cool reception to Danyl despite his undoubted singing prowess - I
think we can safely say that any kind of musical background is no
advantage when it comes to deciding who the outright winner's going to
be.
And whilst we're on the subject I still think it's a shame that this girl didn't make it through to the final twelve...
Treyc Cohen
...
but then she was in Simon's over 25's group and it was a tough call.
Personally I though she had real potential, at least as much as Jamie and Danyl, both of whom Simon chose instead of
her.
But I have a feeling that Treyc is going to be one of those who comes back and gets another crack at this.
Here's a reminder of how good she was:

The
above is an ITV link so I hope it gets through. But just in case you
don't have Adobe installed then here's a YT link for exactly the same
clip:

This one may not get through (polite request to the moderator to allow it) but fingers crossed, it will.

It (the wager) will have to be something a little more apetizing than those bland Hawick balls I can tell you.!
... this from a man whose idea of 'appetising' is...

Wardy,
I was under the impression that you and I would be sharing a draught
pint or two, at least, whilst we were waiting for the result!
But at least
this has given me an idea for your Christmas present - not very
expensive but in keeping with the thrifty ideal which seems close to
your heart.
All the best to you, Wardy! 
David
