Well reader its nice to see the newspaper media keeping thier senses of proportion in these troubled times. The London Evening Standard, tagging its self as London's quality daily paper leads this evening with Fans Furious as John Quits Strictly. A reference to John Sargent's decision that he is going to stop being the butt of everyone's jokes in the BBC's hit Saturday night show Strictly Come Dancing, so what the hell I may as well jump on the band waggon as well. After all its not that important that another 10,000 Londoners lost thier jobs today, I guess that is just not news any more. Even another interest rate cut on the cards did not enthuse London's Quality Daily, and the coverage of the Baby P enquiry has reached that point where it slides from the front pages to the inside as the papers wish for something else to come along and grab thier attention, as they start to run out of things to say.
But back to the band waggon... I mean.. pressing news of the day... did John Sargent jump or was he pushed, I'll let you make your own mind up.. but lets get the swingometer out to measure public opinion, what does Mr Obama think, I'm sure he is tapping a note to the BBC on his Blackberry at this very moment, will John's poor timing affect the England performance tonight..
ok ok enough is enough :-) or is it....

You should try one of the many message boards and forums on the internet about the show, after more than a week there is still only one topic..... People, get over it!
