I hope he was the one that called time and didn't let her give his self-esteem a further kicking.

He is apparently a very nice chap.

I'm totally joining the queue for Mr Firth (Colin or Peter, I'm easy. 😜).
Thanks for my first guffaw of the day, OP! I really needed the laughs this thread is giving!

DioneTheDiabolist · 13/12/2019 19:49

What sort of children does he have? You see I've got a couple myself and I'd need to make sure that mine and his would get along before I bother.

IcedPurple · 13/12/2019 19:49

My guess is they've been separated for a while but only dropped the news today knowing it would be drowned out iby all the post election noise. Smart move.

At the time she and CF had split up ...so probably doesnt count as an affair

Mumsnet is a funny place , normally they woyld be blaming the man..... seems CF is a god and can do no wrong lol

mummysandwich · 13/12/2019 19:58

I'll join the queue too. LOVE him in nearly everything.

A pair of medium sized male ones, I believe. Plus a big grown-up male one from his relationship with Meg Tilly.

Enter MOLD, surreptitiously swoons.... to the front of the queue....

Sprinklemetinsel · 13/12/2019 20:21

Sod the politeness, I'm sharpening my elbows. Look out ladies.

JaneJeffer · 13/12/2019 20:21

I don't know how I'm going to break the news to DH and just before Christmas as well...

Daftapath · 13/12/2019 20:22

I also live near him and have been round his house every Halloween for years ... ok only trick or treating ... I'm also recently back on the market too Grin

Eewwww, the new boyfriend looks like the bastard love child of John Torrode and Mr Toad of Toad Hall.

Hmm, I've a medium and a small male. I'd have liked a female. I'll give it some consideration but it'll probably be a No from me.

I wish him well though, he seems like a nice bloke.

Deadjinglebellringer · 13/12/2019 20:44

Can i have a piece too please! Livia must be crazy, I still can't believe she cheated on him. I have loved Colin for years, he is a very devoted father, and is clever, charming and kind. He is also handsome, which a young man ought likewise to be, if he possibly can. Smile

AmIthechristmasfairy · 13/12/2019 20:49

Count me in for a week in September. I think I could squeeze him in

EnidButton · 13/12/2019 20:57

Ones with exceptionally gorgeous hair if him and his ex are anything to go by.

RJnomore1 · 13/12/2019 21:07

When I went to Madame Tussaud’s Colin was genuinely the only waxwork I got excited about.

More than Ghandi 😬

I’m sorry he’s had to go through this. It can’t be easy for him.

RJnomore1 · 13/12/2019 21:08

Chiswick you say? Just asking for a friend...

WatchoutfortheROUS · 13/12/2019 21:09

Me please!! Do you think he'd grow the Mr Darcy sideburns back for me!?

OhTheRoses · 13/12/2019 21:10

Mummyoflittledragon WOW - is your user name a euphemism for MOLDies? That's really clever Grin

BenevolentEzza · 13/12/2019 21:12

"I thought he looked like a distorted photocopy of John Torrode, myself."

😂😂😂
