When I was a student I was really into Jarvis Cocker but I saw him in a retaurant acted like a complete pampered up his arse luvvie bossing everyone around. Put me off him really.

But have also seen him at an airport and he seemed quite shy and retiring.

I love that hoppy dance

not keen on jarvis...love the lead singer from the killers he is nice and have always fancied michael stipe

Now Jarvis Cocker - I knew lots of girls who idolised him but he's just filthy and not in a good way, in a knicker-sniffing kind of way. Makes my skin crawl.

jarvis less of a sexual object IMHO, more the kind of university friend who is always there to comfort you when the captain of the rugby team dumps you. Again.

And makes you cocktails and insists on choosing clothes for you from Oxfam.

Bless him.

who?

zenandtheartofbaking · 31/12/2008 00:50

Oh. That's a very bad picture of Mr. Stipe.

I used to rather like him.

But I think I may have a thing for gay men.

Which is perhaps a little worrying.

but didn't he shag courtney love?

zenandtheartofbaking · 31/12/2008 00:52

Oh. I thought he came out after the whole friendship with Courtney Love thing?

I know nothing of popular culture.

But on the positive side, I can now start stalking him I suppose.

Ronaldinhio · 31/12/2008 00:55

did you honestly not have an inkling?

where you fooled by liberace as well?

zenandtheartofbaking · 31/12/2008 00:55

Ok. this is my night for celebrity showing off.

I've snogged Courtney Love.

thumbwitch · 31/12/2008 00:55

yes he is
hi Wilfsell, I am the same age as you, have an MSc (couldn't hack the work for a PhD) and read broadsheets and I ALSO think Ronan Keating is gorgeous.
But then I have a thing for the Irish types - my DH, although Australian in most things, is half Irish and really looks it.

JeremyVile · 31/12/2008 00:55

I thought he had a night with Kurt. With Courtneys blessing.
He completely is gay. Though thats not to say he hasnt been with Courtney, I imagine she doesnt easily take no for an answer.
