lighthearted

Do you have a weird crush which isn't covid 19 related?

In no particular order, mine are:
James May
Mark Owen off Take That
Lawrence Fox
Neil Oliver
The guy on the Microsoft Teams ad who works for the Met Police

Guy Fieri from Diners drive-ins and Dives, and Tig from Sons of Anarchy. I started out liking Jax but I've gone off him.

I have a soft spot for Adrian Chiles but think he is quite sad and I may just feel sorry for him.

NotVera · 07/07/2020 19:20

One of the valuers on Flog It.

I even have dreams about him. I have no insight into why.

He needs taking in hand - is a bit self-indulgent and pathetic. I'm the woman to do it - DH and 3D aside.

WildOrchids67 · 07/07/2020 19:21

James Acaster. There's something about his voice I really like

LuluJakey1 · 07/07/2020 19:22

Also, Alistair Campbell.

OffToSingapore · 07/07/2020 19:22

Jon Ronson

Danny Dyer. There. I said it out loud.

Bodgedboxdye · 07/07/2020 19:25

Si king from Hairy Bikers. Haha

BillyAndTheSillies · 07/07/2020 19:25

Rankin. I don't know why.

Shock

All of these are weird apart from Adrian Chiles.

Guy Fieri would be ok if he shut up once in a while.

Adam Richman can toast my buns any time.

Not the first time I've hears someone say that.

You know he split with his wife? Wink

Danny Dyer and Alistair Campbell. Yep, same. Not weird tho, absolutely horrendous.

merryhouse · 07/07/2020 19:29

Ed Balls
Ian Hislop

Does Kenneth Williams count as weird? It's been a defining part of me for so long I consider it perfectly normal...

seekingwaxwings · 07/07/2020 19:30

Michael Ball

Bodgedboxdye · 07/07/2020 19:31

@SuckingDieselFella yup, but he’s also engaged to an Australian cook. ):

He is not a looker in any sense of the word. Loses all his jobs. Horrible accent. Drinks gallons. Is a confessed moody, anxious, depressive. Dreadful dress sense. Football mad.

I can't imagine what I find attractive. I do think it's a 'I could help' thing. A saving thing.

Cherrybakewellard · 07/07/2020 19:34

I always fancied a bit of Peter Stringfellow.
Hugh Hefner sent me a Pm on Twitter once. I quite liked him too.

LuluJakey1 · 07/07/2020 19:34

Yes, I get the Ed Balls one as well.

RaraRachael · 07/07/2020 19:35

I love Michael Ball. He's almost born on exactly the same day as me so I think we have a sort of affinity. Sad, I know Grin
