Who else fancies Alistair Campbell?

I know there are fellow Campbell fanciers on MN so identify yourselves!

I had a dream about him last night Blush nothing very raunchy to report but it was all rather flirty and exciting. He's definitely in the 'theres something about him' category. And he talks clear, calm, entirely rational good sense about Brexit

I'm such a sad git Grin come join me!

No.

argumentativefeminist · 11/08/2018 22:42

"articulate but a bit sad" is 100% my type

Neshoma · 11/08/2018 22:51

No. but there's always something attractive about a powerful, influential man/

albertcamus · 11/08/2018 23:47

Swoon ❤️

RoseWhiteTips · 12/08/2018 00:38

Definitely.

RoseWhiteTips · 12/08/2018 00:41

He plays the bagpipes.

theduchessstill · 12/08/2018 01:12

Certainly - he has an aura of sadness, yes, but also of immense capability. If he was in charge this shit show wouldn't be happening...

KathfromSalesandMarketing · 12/08/2018 02:07

What's he saying in French?

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 12/08/2018 06:19

Yes

But the I remember he is a master of manipulation

Amazing how he has moved himself on from being Blair’s spin doctor to an all round nice regular guy who speaks sense

TheGoddessFrigg · 12/08/2018 08:02

OH GOD YES.

I met him once and - sadly he's one of the most magnetic men I have ever met. Sadly - because no one else would measure up!

Yorkshire craggy and a bit grumpy - like my Sean Bean crush.

Violetparis · 12/08/2018 08:09

No way, sly and creepy

serenmoon · 12/08/2018 08:15

I've met him and there is definitely something about him. He was also extremely nice to me and to others. He talks so much sense on Brexit too and tells it like it is. He's been incredibly open about his alcoholism and depression too.

BitOutOfPractice · 12/08/2018 08:19

I’ve met him too and he’s bloody lovely and very very sharp witted. Didn’t fancy him though

I know him, though not very well. Incredibly astute, fantastic conversationalist and nice. I don't fancy him thoughGrin

RoseWhiteTips · 12/08/2018 12:09

People often say there is “ definitely something about him.” Lol

That is always a good sign.

vivalafrida · 12/08/2018 12:19

Mon Dieu, I've never fancied him but that video of him speaking French transfixed me.

groundcontroltomontydon · 12/08/2018 12:49

What's he saying in French?
I think he called Boris an international joke. I'm warming to him.

UpstartCrow · 12/08/2018 13:01

Imagine Alastair Campbell...in a uniform.
With shiny buttons.

albertcamus · 12/08/2018 13:24

In NI, playing the bagpipes :

oldfatandtired1 · 12/08/2018 13:36

Oh definitely. Fiona is a lucky woman!

Aprilsinparis · 12/08/2018 13:57

Ding dong......He is very moreish, in a brooding sort of,........I'll put you over my knee, and spank you, sort of way, very gently, of course.

Aprilsinparis · 12/08/2018 14:04

TheGoddessFrigg Sean Bean, in his Richard Sharpe uniform, and that bloody big sword, acting all coy, because I'm a laydeeWink

tobee · 12/08/2018 14:27

I could live without the bagpipes to be honest
