www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/8178285/Mick-Hucknall-apologises-to-1000-women-he-slept-with.html

The way I am reading this is he is that firstly he is sorry for being unfaithful to whoever he was with at the time - ok I get that.

But I am finding this a little creepy on other levels because I think if you apologise to your groupies, it implies you think you were taking advantage of them at the time? Or is it that he misled them all into thinking they were his only partner (at a rate of 3 a day, that'd be hard to do).

(please MN lawyers note I am not saying that Mick Hucknall has done anything wrong...)

DP reckons I am overthinking this which is quite possible Grin

I love red headed men. There are some very sexy gingers out there - Damian Lewis and Eric Stoltz and Daniel Craig (straebwryy blonde) to name a few.

But bloody hell Mick H is a child frightener. Imagine snogging that gargoyle.

Is he under the impression that the 1000 women all read the Telegraph?

That's really scary.

Suncottage · 03/12/2010 15:02

I think it was because he was the only boy in an all girls' orphanage and the dormitary held 1001 beds.

He also snored very loudly and kept the 1000 girls he 'slept' with awake all night, every night.

See, there is a perfectly reasonable and rational explanation Smile

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 03/12/2010 14:55

Yes, the only reason to apologise is if he told a lot of lies to get people into bed. Pure shagging = no need to apologise unless you're reallybadatit pretty sure you didn't show them the respect they deserved. Which is what it sounds like.

Yes I would probably have slept with whole bands given the opportunity, right after a gig when I was drunk and in awe (not MH though. obviously). Certainly wouldn't be expecting an apology FFS unless they'd had to persuade me into it. Which they wouldn't. Xmas Grin

Really rude in fact to apologise!

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 03/12/2010 14:47

Ah I see tethers got there first. :)

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 03/12/2010 14:46

Haven't read thread yet but - quite right too! Anyone who sleeps with that whiny skank-haired smug talentless gobshite deserves compensation, frankly Xmas Grin.

HerBeatitude · 03/12/2010 14:14

Yes quite.

The only reason he can have to apologise, is because the sex was bad and he treated these women without kindness, respect or consideration.

Otherwise, why the need to apologise? There's nothing wrong with casual sex. It's only wrong if you do it badly, or if you mislead someone as to your intentions, or both.

Oh, thank you for sharing, Beatitude :)

He really is a twat, isn't he.

iTigress I think you're on to something there.

I shared my favours with a few of those though. Not great, really.

I rather like redheaded men - so this isn't a dig at gingerness, but Shock at sex on legs!

HerBeatitude · 03/12/2010 14:02

OK some mad bint came on and said he came on to her, she turned him down and now regrets it as he is sex on legs.

Was too flabbergasted to assimilate any more info. Grin

iTigress · 03/12/2010 14:01

I'm going to take a massive leap and suggest he's a women-hater (or was)

You can shag someone because you like and fancy each other, or you can shag someone because you are using them and it makes you feel like you've won - you probably can't stand them. Men (imo) are more likely to have this kind of sex, luckily I think I've avoided this kind of wanker, who is a millimetre higher on the morality scale than a rapist.

iTigress · 03/12/2010 13:57

iTigress · 03/12/2010 13:56

Is there something fundamentally wrong with shagging around? I couldn't care less Mick and certainly don't want to hear about it from you

HerBeatitude · 03/12/2010 13:55

God I think all the men I slept with in my dim and distant youth, should be bloody thanking me - I've got nothing to apologise for, I didn't abuse or mislead any of them. What was he doing wrong?

MadreInglese · 03/12/2010 13:55

I wonder if there was a nasty "shag and run" story about to be kiss-and-told in the papers, perhaps coinciding with some greatest hits album release of his, so this 'apology' could be damage limitation

HerBeatitude · 03/12/2010 13:53

So far, the "expert" has said because he ddn't have a role model of a woman, he needed to have every woman going. Hmm

And also famous people lose sense of reality. (cf Elton John saying "somebody turn the wind down" - surely that's not true? I was only half listening)

iTigress · 03/12/2010 13:53

Why is he sorry? Confused

I was promiscuous when younger, I don't have any regrets overall - met lots and lots of lovely men who I wanted to have sex with - the feeling was mutual - ergo we did. Lovely times

If I apologised publicly to all the men I slept with, the insinuation is that I had taken advantage if, or hurt them. I'm not big-headed enough to think I broke anyone's heart, sex is sex FFS.

He's showing a disgustingly patriarchal attitude by assuming the women he slept with were somehow damaged by the experience. Perhaps they were Mick, just not in the way you'd like to think Xmas Grin

MadreInglese · 03/12/2010 13:51

Didn't Martine McCutcheon throw up on him on a date?

(natural reflex reaction for most women I would imagine)

expatinscotland · 03/12/2010 13:50

He's a total minger. Bet his number is more like 10, all of whom were whacked out of their minds at the time.

HerBeatitude · 03/12/2010 13:49

Wll do!
