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

Avon lady. No more to say.

ShirleyKnot · 16/07/2010 15:27

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.
