I even sat through the dreadful Luther to watch (Stringer)Idris Elba act. He is marvellous

Avon lady. No more to say.

McNulty would smell of cigs and whiskey and Stringer would smell of expensive aftershave and cigars.

I know exactly what you mean RD.

Omar had such a beautiful face; but I am aware that I have entirely the wrong frontal arrangement to interest him.

ReasonableDoubt · 16/07/2010 15:23

I had dreams of a threesome with McNulty and Stringer when I was racing my way through the Wire on DVD boxset. It was quite obscene. I have never been so sexually obsessed infatuated with a couple of TV characters before

Loved Omar, but couldnt have shagged him. The whistling freaked me out!

ShirleyKnot · 16/07/2010 15:21

Seriously, I would have done stuff to Stringer until it FELL OFF.

(and then had a go on Omar - yeah baby)

And then McNulty.

I think I might be due a weekend of The Wire series 2 DVD back to back

ReasonableDoubt · 16/07/2010 15:18

Stringer was much more shaggable is a far nicer name

ShirleyKnot · 16/07/2010 15:16

I've got it, call him Bubbles

superpenguin · 16/07/2010 15:08

is this thread a joke?

Avon is a well-known brand of cosmetics.
Or a river.
Or at best, a surname.
But definitely NOT a first name, esp for a boy!

Do you have an orange sofa in your front garden? If so, go for it!

Sci-fi pedant moment, his name was Kerr Avon.

Another one who remembers Blake's 7 and will forever associate the name with that character. DawnTigga - I got Paul Darrow's autograph once!

DandyDan · 15/07/2010 16:21

Avon from Blake's 7 - and Sky is doing a re-make so people will be re-introduced to the name via that.

Also Avon Barksdale = The Wire.

Hedwig3 · 15/07/2010 14:52

I just think of the filthy bit of river that flows past my aunt's house! Sorry.

BooKangaWonders · 15/07/2010 12:59

Blakes 7. Avon was the really sarcastic one we all lusted after.

Along with Bodie but not Doyle.

ShirleyKnot · 15/07/2010 11:52

true dat!

I bloody LOVE Stringer Bell and Omar.

callalilies · 15/07/2010 11:49

dawntigga · 15/07/2010 11:34

Arghh! Crumpet - now I'll never get any work done.
