Hi choufleur. Didn't want you to think you were on your own! I also very much appreciate Steve (sigh) as I think may already have been noticed.

Anyone else?

NinjaChipmunk · 10/11/2010 15:39

there is something about him, but I haven't quite worked out what it is yet......I'm not quite ready to say i'm fully in, can I just be dipping my toe in till I work it out?

MaudOHara · 11/11/2010 10:22

Took the DC to see him doing live and deadly a few weeks back (pic on profile) he was so lovely chatty and patient with everyone if a bit short

bettymoody · 11/11/2010 10:23

ok
so dh knows him
he is very nice in rl.

MaudOHara · 11/11/2010 10:24

WAsnt he supposed to do a web chat? Have I missed my chance to offer myself up to him discuss natural history iwth him?

Tootiredforgodtyping · 11/11/2010 10:24

He is too orange for my tastes

MaudOHara · 11/11/2010 10:25

ooh ooh ooh bettymoody how does your DH know him? Can you invite him round for dinner so we can drool over him?

bettymoody · 11/11/2010 10:26

lol

DiscoDaisy · 11/11/2010 10:26

Who is Steve Backshall?

( Just in case I'm missing something)

SGertie · 11/11/2010 10:30

He has a scrummy body, shame about the slightly geeky face

NinjaChipmunk · 11/11/2010 10:37

tootired why is he orange. i've never noticed him being orange before.....

MaudOHara · 11/11/2010 10:41

DiscoDaisy you must have a non CBBC househould - he's a children's presenter / naturist who likes to show deadly creatures to children and often has to take his top off http://www.google.co.uk/images?q=steve+backshall&rls=com.microsoft:*:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&rlz=1I7ADBF_en-GB&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=wcfbTLP_JJO7hAe1ir3PAg&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCoQsAQwAA feast your eyes

MaudOHara · 11/11/2010 10:42

mucked up that link good and proper

yum

NinjaChipmunk · 11/11/2010 10:43

i think you might mean naturalist, you may just be dreaming he's a naturist!

SGertie · 11/11/2010 10:56

Grin *Ninja]
mind you, he did do an episode of Deadly 60 in the nude - when he lost his swimmers in the sea Grin

NinjaChipmunk · 11/11/2010 11:05

gasp!! i missed that one, gutted!

DiscoDaisy · 11/11/2010 11:13

Thanks MaudOHara.

My kids probably know who he is.
I tend to escape into the dining room when the kids are watching tv!

MaudOHara · 11/11/2010 11:13

lol ninja I think you're right - wishful thinking

Tootiredforgodtyping · 11/11/2010 18:34

we saw him at the deadly 60 roadshow and he was very short and very orange

DiscoDaisy · 11/11/2010 21:41

Discovered tonight that he is coming to the town where my kids go to school in December. He is appearing at my eldest DD's school theatre.

cornishpasty · 13/11/2010 19:18

Can I join you.
Saw him this morning at The Eden Project doing live and deadly.
Yummy!
DD got his autograph and is delighted Smile
Very fine body I must say. I have a particularly good photo showing a fantastic bicep! Grin

MaudOHara · 15/11/2010 11:25

Cornish - I think its only right and proper that you share the photo please!

BlessThisMess · 18/11/2010 22:32

Cor, I'll join you! Very tasty indeed....

ImReallyDoingMyAccounts · 10/02/2011 23:55

Hi! May I join you in your appreciation of this most excellent example of grunt candy please? And...Tootired..SHORT? ORANGE? Shock Are you sure you weren't watching an old episode of that holiday programme with Judith (Ooompah Loompah) Chalmers?? I'm speechless (which isn't often known). Er - how tall is he? Anyone know? And what has he done to his ankle? It's in a cage apparently.

Lulie110 · 20/02/2011 23:42

Everything ImReallyDoingMyAccounts said. So, to paraphrase: Yum & how short?? (ignoring ankle stuff - no idea)
