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

As Stringfellow and Hefner are no longer around, if I had to pick another just in case.... Jeremy Kyle. At least you know he'd play it safe.

Tolles apparently the Britney song Toxic is about the Supervet, written by Cathy Dennis. Read into that what you like!

SaraCambridge · 08/07/2020 08:12

Chris Mason! ☺️

vampirethriller · 08/07/2020 08:16

Just adding Danny Dyer and Martin Shaw. Mr Shaw specifically in the Professionals or Scarlet Pimpernel but wouldn't say no now either.

Oh yes Martin Shaw! He's on me and my best friends GILF list, along with Donald sutherland and other assorted older hotties

JustHavinABreak · 08/07/2020 09:35

William Shatner (in his Star Trek days), Jimmy Nesbitt, Ryan Tubridy...all quite lovely though not at the same time Hmm

If this is ever linked back to me IRL I realise I've probably just signed my own sectioning order!

I saw Ryan Tubridy in a coffee shop once and with DH's full permission to do my best, I completely lost the ability to walk and talk. In fact the only skills I retained were shaking and dribbling.

I see your Cadbury's gorilla and raise you the Ikea lion. Phwoarr

tywysoges · 08/07/2020 09:52

Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller not at the same time though!. Huw Edwards Blush

LuluJakey1 · 08/07/2020 09:56

'Assorted older hotties' would have to include Charles Dance.

@SaraCambridge

Chris Mason! ☺️
Yes! Very clever and funny.

@Tolleshunt Yes to Noel Fitzpatrick but sleeps at his surgery and thinks dogs are better than humans. Good luck with that.

@seekingwaxwings Why would you want a lion when you could have Matt Hancock?

@Bubbletrouble43 Donald Sutherland, yes.

@JustHavinABreak Not Nesbitt, he's a bad boy. Don't ask me how I know.

@tywysoges Armstrong and Miller, no. Miller maybe, but Armstrong's too posh.

@LuluJakey1 Yes but only if you have a time machine to go back 30 years. Nigel Havers though...

Jeremy Kyle and Danny Dyer Grin

Also mickey Flanagan

RaraRachael · 08/07/2020 11:05

Sairafina i'll fight you over John Nettles and Jeff Stelling Grin

SuckingDieselFella · 08/07/2020 11:13

@Bubbletrouble43

Also mickey Flanagan
Really? He's a misogynist.

Have you heard his fingering 'joke'?

OP posts:
UnitedRoad · 08/07/2020 11:54

Ricky Gervais. He’s lovely

tywysoges · 08/07/2020 12:08

@SuckingDieselFella it was meant be weird, isn’t it? Is Armstrong not weird? Grin

SuckingDieselFella · 08/07/2020 12:15

Both weird but Armstrong isn't sexist as far as I know.

@UnitedRoad Lovely, maybe. Very rich, definitely. Smile

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 08/07/2020 12:51

maud yes I realise it's really random! I saw him in a musical he wrote and starred in, and dressed as a vampire singing Meatloaf songs, he is totally hot!

Bubbletrouble43 · 08/07/2020 12:52

@SuckingDieselFella
No I haven't. Off to Google. Sigh. They always let you down somehow.

Heytheredelilah99 · 08/07/2020 12:56

What's the bloke called in Escape to the Chateau? The husband of the lady with the red hair?

Tolleshunt · 08/07/2020 13:12

Pollo I didn’t know that! I’m ashamed to say that doesn’t put me off - if anything, it makes him more appealing GrinBlush

Likewise, Sucking the element of challenge just makes him more attractive....

No doubt I need to work even more on my attachment issues...

UnitedRoad · 08/07/2020 13:12

@SuckingDieselFella veeery rich, which would be lovely, but I think what I like is he’s been with his partner since university and clearly adores her, and how much he loves animals. Also he’s so clever and funny. His live shows (I’ve only seen it on tv), makes me laugh until it hurts.

ScribblingMilly · 08/07/2020 13:16

Lee Mack.

Dick Strawbridge. Used to be a colonel in the army. Someone else on the thread beat you to it so you'll have to join the queue.

Just goes to show that being in your 60s and having a belly is no barrier to romance. Grin
