Referendum! Referendum! Wash your mouth out with soup! The moderation team are a benign (mostly) dictatorship.

Like the Brexit referendum many people didn't seem to know for what they were voting.  :P ;D ;D

Seriously though, I think the Admin on this forum do a good job. :)

Given democracy at the moment, dictatorship if mostly benign has its attractions. Particularly if you are a member of the oligarchy

Ah, good. In that case, I shall take this opportunity of posting the link to my tap dance you tube if those here would like to see it.

https://youtu.be/M3dmlLNYFw4 <https://youtu.be/M3dmlLNYFw4

There was a * at the start and a >* at the end, but I don't think they should be there.
Taken last year by my daughter-in-law, it's one of our easier dances and a poster elsewhere thought I might like it made into a you tube, but one which is not available to open  search. And I thought, well, why not?! :) And it would have been a shame if I died without my sons ever having seen me dance.

I think it is better to post it here on what is definitely an R&E friends group, and it can remain in the background rather than making too much of it.

Well done Susan.  It's a pity that there aren't a few tap dance sequences in 'Strictly'.

Good. HopeRhiannon does too.

Susan, you're a star. Shakey will see your vid.

Ekim, didn't Tom Chambers incorporate tap dancing into his show dance on Strictly?
I have seen some tap on SCD but it's always in the show or freestyle, maybe American Smooth sometimes.

You all have a nice day, off to work now.

That's lovely, Susan. my wife and I have just watched it. We enjoyed it. We are learning a new tango and a new foxtrot at the moment. The foxtrot isn't easy because you dance around the beat rather than on the beat, and you have to make it flow, so you keep your feet close to the ground all the time.

Foxtrot is technically the most difficult ballroom dance. It is so elegant though, beautiful. It's nice that you and your wife are learning together.

Agree about the foxtrot. While I still had a little focal vision, I decided to have private ballroom lessons and did so for three years and am so pleased I did, as I have always loved all forms of dancing.
I have wondered sometimes whether a topic on dancing for those of us who take part in dancing regularly would work? Or maybe Admins think it is okay just to leave hese dancing tangent posts here where we know they are. Hmmm.

*******************
When I read the OP, I thought, well, I suppose this is one case where Shaker's Law won't apply, but if it does, then I think Shaker will be the first to smile a rueful smile!
From the time I joined the BBC message boards, I could see that Shaker's posts should not be missed, and I have learned much from reading what he says about the books to which he has referred.
