Paul Mason, channel 4 economics correspondent

[DunelmDoris]

Anyone else find him strangely attractive?

Not sure whether it's the accent, the big ears or the potato nose, he doesn't look like he ought to be attractive, but he really really is.

[FraggleHair]

I'm more of an Alex Thomson kinda gal. And Jon Snow of course.

I do like Paul Mason's accent though.

[DunelmDoris]

Alex won me over with his coverage of the general election. But he doesn't make my loins tingle like Mr Mason.

[FraggleHair]

I think you should make your feelings known to Mr Mason.

[Webuyanyname]

Paul Mason is the real life embodiment of Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.

[milliemanzi]

Oh you should watch the Northern Soul doc he did for the bbc! He proper busted some moves on there.

[DeanParrish]

Oh yes. Paul Mason is my crush.

[DeanParrish]

If he is reading this, I just want him to know I'm into Northern Soul too- hence the name!

[sparechange]

I have to deal with him for work. I will alert him to this thread

A Google image search did not help me

[DunelmDoris]

Hmm that's not the one I'm thinking of Glo!

The one I like is sexily intelligent and I've never seen his chest

[MonstrousRatbag]

Hhmn. All yours, OP.

[HelenaDove]

I like Paraic O Brien.

[DunelmDoris]

I've decided what it is. It's the way he looks away from the camera on his video blogs. Mhmmm.

[DeanParrish]

Do you think he is trying to corner the coy economist soul boy look?

[DunelmDoris]

I'd say he's succeeded!

[crossparsley]

He doesn't quite get into object status for me, but I bet if I knew him I'd fancy him.he wrote a lovely piece for the BBC on the Monkees when Davy Jones died, here. I love him for that (though it suggests he's a wee bit old for me really)

[DunelmDoris]

Hmm he's 55. I'm 34. That's OK though right? He's just very clever :)

[gummo]

Not him, Robert Peston is very nice though!

[DeanParrish]

Yup but he is married. Damn. Why are they all married? Or gay? Or frightened of me?
(Mainly frightened, I have to admit)

[perfectpeach]

I saw him give a speech once, he's much yummier in the flesh than you'd realise. Very clever, very nice and he's got a real presence. I like him.

[SwedishEdith]

Yes, I like Paul Mason. And Alex Thomson. And Robert Peston. In fact, I like most major economics/international correspondents. Duncan Weldon is catching my eye now - nice and geeky and keen.

[SwedishEdith]

And Richard Watson - Newsnight's security correspondent. I suspect he fancies himself a bit though.

[Nettletheelf]

I thought this thread was going to be about that bloody awful wine in a carafe.

[RedLentil]

Totally. A walking reminder too about why - after going out with one man with a Lancashire accent - I never deviated from that pattern. Clever Lancashire men ...

[thewigglywig]

Yum. I have fancied Paul Mason for ages. He is a sex god
