I know it is shallow but Oscar is FIIIIIIIIIT...

Yes, I know it's been said many times and it is totally ignoring his massive achievements and objectifying his deeply sexy shoulders and winning smile but jeez, what am I going to do for Saturday night fantasies from now on?

Thanks for that vid, GothAnne. A good find!

It also proves my point above: put him in a swirly-patterned curtain material jacket, silver spangly shite or a sequinned vesty top, and he still looks stunning. Most men would look daft.

Sweaty running Oscar video I hadn't seen before

AmIthatbad · 05/10/2012 00:02

I found another one that I haven't seen before. A BT one

Him with snow falling around - magical

Peachesplusone · 05/10/2012 07:29

Lets say no more about the jumper and just be grateful that he hasn't been taking golf fashion tips from Ian Botham

Thanks for all the lovely links for me to view later when I've got the house to myself Grin

OscarPistoriusGirlfriend · 05/10/2012 10:13

Good finds ladies, loving the snowy one.

Just back from ds1's assembly and on the wall display about "inspiration" one of the kids has drawn a picture of Oscar! bets its a girl I am going to take a photo of it next week and tweet it to him. Grin

RedBlanket · 05/10/2012 12:00

Why is Ian Botham wearing his wife's PJs?

TheSmallClanger · 05/10/2012 19:57

Red, that's golf for you.

It has been my day off today, and in between various things, I have watched GothAnne's video several times. Pretty, pouting Oscar in silk and spangles has just managed to drown out frozen, frumpy golf Oscar, in my mind.

Is there a word which means the same as frumpy, but to describe men?

AmIthatbad · 05/10/2012 22:43

There's a video of Michael Phelps holing a very long putt, and as he is playing with OP, you see him congratulating him.

It's a Daily Mail link though, with stupid unskippable adverts, so I won't link. He has a skin tight grey nike top on, with a polo neck thingy underneath.

I love the GQ video, I have watched it over and over, while drooling Grin

No wine for me tonight, just in case I drink too much and oversleep. Have a date with a golf course tomorrow Smile

OscarPistoriusGirlfriend · 05/10/2012 22:43

Pictures Ami, pictures. Grin

AmIthatbad · 05/10/2012 23:07

Am taking my camera and my phone. DD seems quite reluctant, but the forecast is good, so it may be a nice day for a stroll. And I have bribed her with lunch out afterwards.

Am so excited.

RedBlanket · 05/10/2012 23:22

That GQ video . He's so lush!!

AmI - have a great time!

TheSmallClanger · 05/10/2012 23:47

I really want to post the Snog Marry Avoid Oscar/POD script I wrote earlier, but I think I'm being a bit of a saddo.

DD and I both enjoy doing this. We pretend to be the Strictly Come Dancing judges when we see dancing anywhere, and on car journeys, invent storylines for various TV programmes and events. Our Wimbledon soap operas (shared with my mum) are one of the highlights of my summer.

DD has not let on whether or not she is aware of my Oscar obsession. She has no strong opinions on him, although she enjoyed the Alan Oliveira drama and did some decent speculating about whether they had a fight afterwards, and who was using a voodoo doll of whom.

GothAnneGeddes · 06/10/2012 00:00

Post it Small Clanger, post it! It sounds like it would be a laugh.

GreatGretzky · 06/10/2012 00:08

Have fun, AmI! Sounds like he's been chatting to people so hope you get to meet him! Be warned though, your knees will go all funny when he smiles at you Grin

And Clanger, post it! Sounds like the sort of thing I'd do.

TheSmallClanger · 06/10/2012 00:47

POD: In that get-up, 75% of the public would AVOID you! Oscar from South Africa, what do you do?

Oscar: I'm a professional athlete, specialising in the 400m.

POD: Then why on earth do you look so much like a geography teacher?

Oscar: Um, I've been playing golf and the style has kind of stuck, and it's cold, I guess. I'm from South Africa so I'm not really that good with the cold.

POD: POD has conducted in-depth analysis, and concludes that you ACTUALLY have a perfectly nice body under all those layers. Once you have been through your make-under, we will be able to appreciate your natural beauty. Commencing Deep Cleanse! Go and have a nice warm shower and put some moisturiser on.

[Oscar returns, with normal glowy complexion and styled hair, wearing nicely-fitting casual clothes and a stylish coat]

POD: Beautiful! See? Bad weather DOESN'T mean you have to hide yourself in badly-fitting knitwear! Before your make-under, 75% of the public would AVOID you.
[Cut to SMALL from DERBYSHIRE: Can I be greedy and snog him then marry him? Then GOTHANNE from MNLAND: Definitely snog. He looks adorable. And AMI from SCOTLAND: get off him Small and Anne, he's mine.]

POD: Now, 70% of the public want to SNOG you. The rest want to MARRY you. I think your make-under has been a success, don't you? Just remember the rules, and stay away from golf in the future! And good luck for your running races. Goodbye Oscar!

Oscar: Bye POD, and thanks for your help.

GothAnneGeddes · 06/10/2012 10:11

Lol, that is brilliant! Thanks for sharing it.

GreatGretzky · 06/10/2012 10:54

Grin I love it!

Meglet · 06/10/2012 12:41

Golf really is the most un-sexy sport in the world isn't it.

amIthatbad looking forward to hearing how much Oscar you got to see!

AmIthatbad · 06/10/2012 20:20

OH MY GOD!!!!!

For 5 hours (minus a toilet/food break) I was within feet of him.

Bad bits first: - He had a horrible beige jumper on, which really looked as if it was 100% polyester, although he did have a nice lilac shirt underneath. Did improve near the end when he put a nice black zip up top over it though.

That's all the bad bits.

Now the good :-

He spoke TO ME.....yes, directly to me........twice.

He signed my Blade Runner book.

He smells delicious

He looked much slighter than you would think

He has a megawatt smile

He put his arm around DD and I was so flustered I pressed the video button instead of the camera one on my phone.

I have got loads of photos, but will need to find lead to download onto pc.

He is the most patient, pleasant, beautiful man I have ever seen in my life.

Not long home, and I am trying to gather my thoughts and remember every bit, still totally buzzing

In my pretty crap life, today was one of the loveliest days ever.

Meglet · 06/10/2012 20:28

I was literally just wondering where you had got to. I had visions of OP being held hostage by a crazed woman! Grin

He'll be over for Sports Personality too won't he? They do an international one I think.

GreatGretzky · 06/10/2012 20:40

So happy for you AmI! Smile 5 hours near him! How did you cope? He was only near me for half an hour or so and my knees were all wobbly Grin He's wonderful isn't he?

AmIthatbad · 06/10/2012 20:58

Grin I felt sorry for the very famous Franz Klammer, plus the two pros, one of whom was the vice-captain of the Ryder cup team. No-one bothered about them. It was all about OP.

I met so many nice people too. Two women I got chatting to separately - both there on their own and huge fans. I did wonder if one of them was a MNer, but didn't ask. There was also a bit of a Kathy Bates in Misery woman, who followed us around for a bit, she was a bit scary - she was a MASSIVE fan.

He is absolutely crap at golf. Four times his ball came off the course and at one of the spots, he had us all tramping in the dunes to find it.

He hope to be at the Commonwealth Games in two years - I'm definitely getting tickets - but said that he would be over loads more times before then.

He is so handsome. There were a couple of ladies discussing him at one point, they didn't know who he was Shock but one of them said "oh, he has a lovely face".

And GG, yes he does look you right in the eye when smiling , and it made me want to collapse in a swooning heap at his feet.

I was actually really scared that he would turn out to be a total knobber and my lustful dreams would be shattered, but he really is as nice as everyone says he is..............................the crush continues Blush

WilfSell · 06/10/2012 21:04

Of course, we all KNEW he smells delicious, right?

OP posts:
Meglet · 06/10/2012 21:14

There's going to be hoards of women at the Commonwealth Games isn't there Blush.

Franz Klammer is a skiier isn't he?

RedBlanket · 06/10/2012 21:17

You're back, at last! I was starting to get worried you had him locked up in your spare room. Grin

Sooo glad to hear how lovely he is and that he spoke to you! Especially as you had to watch all that golf.

And the bad bits aren't that bad, we've already had full disclosure of the shit golf clothes. Surprised he's not much cop at golf tho, these sporty types can usually do them all.

Tell us more about the crazy stalker lady.
