Dear Kevin,

Well, I've just finished watching your programmes about making and living in a shed, and I must admit I did "shed" a tear or two at the end of the series. I must admit at not seeing your lovely, craggy, face every Sunday.

You're tall, intelligent, and have attractive, yet not too male bimboish features. Even your wrinkles are lovely.

I was disappointed that you didn't get your shirt off for the hot tub scene, but then again, it's nice that you're not slaggy about showing off your torso to all and sundry.

I was a bit miffed at seeing the old women sort of touching you when they were measuring up a sustainable alpaca gown for you, but babe, I know where they're coming from.

I have a dressing gown. You have a dressing gown. Not being funny or anything, but on the Internet and in my living room, I'm kind of a big deal, yeah?

So you and me, yeah. You like architecture, I have a house or two. Maybe you could have some "Grand Designs" on me? I know we'll have some tough times babe. But what about it?

Kevin, I love you.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yanbu. I don't fancy him whatsoever - but I'm sure he'd love to receive that letter!! Grin

I think you must send that letter, but written in green ink. Or your own blood. That would prove how much you love him.

YANBU.

I luff him.

And I met him on Saturday. Have autographs, pictures and everything.

Grin DP thinks I'm insane because he's 10 years older than my DDad!

YADNBU. My love for him is nowhere near as grand as yours, but that is brilliant Grin

Yabvu! He's so negative. I cringe watching Grand Designs, his miserable face ruins it for me. Just once I want to hear him say something nice before the big reveal.

Yes but have you painted your bedroom in one of Kev's personally endorsed heritage paint colours, from Fired Earth? Well have you? You could use a sample pot to write your letter.

I don't think you're selling yourself well enough here. The dressing gown alone isn't going to wing it.

Ask yourself - What Would Kevin Like About You? Have you ever made a dolls' house out of matchboxes? Was that dolls' house ethically sound? Did it have clean lines and stay true to its surroundings? Talk about that a bit.

Dear Kevin,

Has anyone told you that you look like the product of a liaison between a human and a paperclip?

That flipping shed programme made me want to punch him. Repeatedly.


My grand designs days are tarnished by shed world.

Have you noticed how many of the wives on Grand Designs get pregnant after Kevin visits?

Oh gosh he's such an arse. Do people really love him? (apart from his own family of course). Am truly amazed.

I thought his friend was the guy out of the nativity film who played the teaching assistant. It's not though is it?

You have to send it. I love Kevin! Although the shed thing was a bit crap.

Arf at the idea of him getting all the Grand Designs woman up the duff I had never thought of that but its so obvious now!
