Flatley

[vernonk]

Michael FLATLEY claims to have danced 35 taps per second. Physically impossible surely?

[ELVIS68]

Looks like he can eat 35 pies per minute though

[sir.prize]

It's in the Guinness Book of Records. So I guess it's true.

[woofgang]

[grasscarp]

Do you mean you are going to flatly refute it?

[vernonk]

He loads every word he speaks and movement he makes with drama. And that's just being interviewed.

[woofgang]

oh so he's a liar because you don't like him?

[ummmm]

And that's why he's so successful.

I think he comes across as a bit smarmy but he's a fantastic dancer.

[vernonk]

Erm, Wolfgang, I think you're taking humour seriously here.

[bookbinder]

I've never heard of him. Is he important?

[ummmm]

River Dance / Lord of the dance.

[ummmm]

I went to see it live....it was amazing. Much better than watching on TV.

[bookbinder]

Oh. So he's not important, then.

[vernonk]

Funny thing is watching old footage of him dancing now and you can't help thinking of Stavros FLATLEY. Hope Piers asks him bout them!

[ummmm]

Me too :-)

[Prudie]

He's a very interesting person, got a touch of the 'gypsy' about him

[weecalf]

Hope piers walk out

[ummmm]

I know the bloke he's talking about now...personally like.

[weecalf]

Wonder if he will flatly refuse to answer smuggy

[ELVIS68]

He looks like a fatter plastic version of Joe Longthorne

we used to have one of his dryers
