He was the bassist in the feeling. Don’t think much about him as I don’t know him at all.

StillNotYou · 12/06/2025 17:16

Way too invested in this thread. WHERE ARE YOU, OP???????

Fetchthevet · 12/06/2025 17:17

He's one of those men that still looks about 15, even though he's in his 40s with a moustache.

He's a bassist?🤯🤯🤯

I'm a musician, so that's a very normal term. How else can it be interpreted? I'm properly scratching my head here - I just can't imagine. Put me out of my (innocent? daft?) misery.

MsFelicityLemon · 12/06/2025 17:42

I've done some asking around, and it turns out he isn't the president of Ireland but I did discover something scandelous.

I've now hidden this highly sensitive information, so only the very skilled can find it.

Drew79 · 12/06/2025 17:57

I've no idea who he is, but I'm very jealous of him 😆

I saw Sophie once when she was in a band called Theaudience, playing a small gig in Manchester in 1998, and I was stood just a few feet in front of her.. it was amazing!

People were using it to mock.

It's a shame that it's been deleted due to a small minority mocking . Most of us used it for what's it meant for !

This lol. 8 pages !!!

Peaceandquietandacuppa · 12/06/2025 18:13

I know someone that often provides a service to him. Think car service, cleaning, local shop etc. sees him pretty regularly and he’s just a normal, nice bloke. What’s the point of the thread?

SirRaymondClench · 12/06/2025 18:17

Richard is this you posting?

Bit minging.

Don't worry, you might improve with age

WimbyAce · 12/06/2025 18:19

I love that there is a whole thread on this and OP just disappeared 😆

Unless you're Sophie, then I don't think our opinion matters! What a bizarre post!

No idea. I thought he'd been in the papers for doing or saying something controversial, but no.

Can you still see pages? I just get an absolute crap "load newer posts" button which makes it really hard to use. I want the pages back.

TooBigForMyBoots · 12/06/2025 10:51

Lucky, lucky bastard.

Exactly this.

If he was mad enough to leave Sophie, the queue of men to take his place would be a very, very long one. With my DP at the front. He always did have impeccable taste. Wink

BiscuitBotherer · 12/06/2025 18:36

Plot twist, the OP is about to reveal that SEB’s husband is a notorious shagger and that she’s been badoinking him for years on the sly.

Wait what?? Mock what/whom?? Ah here this is absurd.. "oh no someone, an anonymous stranger online is using a laughter emoji as a mocking tool about me???" ah jaysus..massive eyeroll before that gets banned next

Xmasxrackers · 12/06/2025 18:39

I wonder if SEBs DH has kidnapped OP right before she was about to tell us something terrifying about him. Alas, we shall never know.

I have no idea who she’s married to . All I know about her family is her mum was the producer or director or something for Blue Peter.

He did that song. I love it when you call. That’s the only thing I can remember about him.

There's a thread in site stuff about it. Mostly on topic areas like baby names. People using it to belittle posters on non-jokey posts. I don't know how widespread it was but obviously significant enough for MN to feel that it was worthy of deleting the reaction entirely.

Ellis-Bextor wrote about how the BBC One competition was so disruptive to her marriage with The Feeling bassist Richard Jones that the pair sought counselling. She described how he “became unusually insistent on knowing where I was all the time.

“If I didn’t reply to a text, he’d spiral… He just felt as if I might slip into a new life that left our family behind,” she wrote, also questioning why the show “fetishises the ‘couples’ aspect so much”. In the book she called her partner Cole a “perfect gentleman”.

Oh?

So he is a bassist and SEB knows all about it. That's grand. She's an amazing, strong woman.💪💪💪😍

As I said upthread he's a lucky, lucky bastard.

Did she know he was a bassist when they got together?🤔
