Gately
I always thought he looked like a little monkey and I hated his lead songs

Molesworth · 30/12/2008 23:50

I would

as long as he promised not to sing

Ronaldinhio · 30/12/2008 23:51

old fatty Barlow is looking great now though

shamed though I am to admit it

WilfSell · 30/12/2008 23:53

That's just it Ronaldinhio. They've all got so much better with age. It is such a cliché but there you go.

Ronan is all, um, twinkly and wrinkly. He really does look like a blonde, late 40s Clint Eastwood. Who was/is, of course, the MOST beautiful man on the planet. Ever.

the take-thatters have vastly improved with age, yes

MintChocAddict · 30/12/2008 23:56

LOL at fatty Barlow. Now there's a man who has vastly improved with age. And Howard Donald come to think of it. Yummmm!

Don't see the Ronan attraction tho but whatever floats your boat.

Has Stephen Gately had some work done then? I thought he had a slightly surprised look on his face on Graham Norton. Maybe that explains it....

snowleopard · 30/12/2008 23:56

sandcastles · 30/12/2008 23:57

Hey. Pint of Guinness in one hand, dick in the other: that's a proper Saturday night where I live.

WilfSell · 31/12/2008 00:05

Oh yes. I would ALSO have Bettany, O'Leary and Henri. But not Grohl. Too, er, furry.

I've come late to it but Daniel Craig is finally the object of my desire
At first I thought he looked like Harold Steptoe but now I totally totally love him

And shamefully that wee lad that plays Edward Cullen

Quadrophenia · 31/12/2008 00:05

I know every sensible bone in my body tells me it's wrong i just cannot help it

Tortington · 31/12/2008 00:05

i think its a prerequisite to be 41 with a PHD to think RK is Gorg

WilfSell · 31/12/2008 00:06

Craig

Hmm. Think I must generally be on heat tonight, huh?

Snort at the self-justification.

I caught DH on a flight once reading The Economist while it was tucked inside a copy of Grazia. I said now, my beloved, have you got things the wrong way round or are you just supremely confident about your intellect and masculinity? Turned out it was just the way they'd come out of the plastic bag and he hadn't noticed.

Wouldn't touch Ronan Keating with yours, though, I'm afraid.
