Our New Patron!

I only watch it on YT - I can't wrest control of the doofer from The Bloke long enough to watch it on the telly. There's a which made the ironing go with a bang!

How broad is your interest in singing, dancing men? Does it extend beyond Mr Drover?

I have had a very interesting day - have never done life painting before but turned out ok (pic on profile). We also had Alison Lapper on our course - she is one amazing woman!

Hmm interesting question Maud, I do like musicals and love the old Doris Day films and such like (I have Oklahoma on DVD) but I guess the rather appealing Mr J has the whole package.

Spiro I am incredibly impressed with your art work, genuinely. I haven't painted since university, never seem to have the time these days. the closest I get to doing anything arty is copying the Beasts out of DS1s Beast Quest books for him .

Who is Alison Lapper?

I think I saw that time warp bit on tele recently Maud, I'm sure I didn't see the whole programme though.

Thanks Small. I must admit I was quite chuffed - I don't think I have ever painted a person before - I tend towards more abstract stuff on the rare occasions that I dabble these days.

Alison Lapper is an.artist from Brighton - she had no arms or legs. Someone did a sculpture of her recently that was on the spare plinth in Trafalgar Square.

What are you doing videoing my Zumba class, Maud?

oh yes, I do know her.

You go Zumbaing with Shah Rukh Khan, Spiro?

Not sure about the dance clip Maud, I do like it and I don't like it. I think I prefer the less modern form of the Indian dancing, he's a bit too sparkly in that for me.

I'll try again. This one is slightly less hip hop.

I wish Maud - he's lovely. Although Zumba originated with South American moves, it incorporates other styles - most weeks some of the routines we do are based on bhangra music with lots of Indian dance moves.

(apologies for weird writing in middle of clip)

Second one is cool Maud , I am sensing a theme here..

Maud we could just do a house swap - maybe some time next year when a certain person is back from Middle Earth !

Have you seen My name is Khan Maud? I meant to watch it when.it came out, but wasn't on locally. I'd be interested to know if it's worth a watch.

Well yes indeedy I do like that one he has got a good voice though don't you think?

No, I haven't, Spiro. I do have Devdas in my pile of films to watch, though. After all, he scores very highly on the checklist -

tall - check
dark - check
handsome - check
gifted in the nasal department - check
wet shirt scenes - check
shirtless scenes - check
can sing - check
can dance - check
hip action - ::gasps for breath::

Mr Jackman, I agree Small, has a very fine voice and other attributes. This is why this thread is an Academy. It's so educational, innit?

I've only seen SRK in interviews for MNIK. Any recommendations gratefully received though

To be frank, Spiro, I don't know very much about him.

I found this today - - but the only one I've seen at the cinema is .

My post has disappeared!!

In it I suggested that we set ourselves a challenge based on Mauds checklist. The challenge is to find someone thudworthy who is;

short
blonde
perky nose
not too buff
can't sing or dance

must still be handsome though, we have to maintain some standards.

ps NOT David Tennant.
