To find Ed Balls rather attractive?

I have tried not to, but he has bags of charisma, AND makes economics fun. And had a real go at Michael Gove in a debate over BSF, which was thoroughly enjoyable. I like ED!

Me too, msyikes. He is so unattractive, but attractive, iyswim. He looks like he'd be absolute filth in bed...

Doesn't Andy Burnham look like he uses Just For Men and mascara?

yanbu, I was thinking that earlier, I think it is cos he looks "normal"

nymphadora · 25/09/2010 17:32

YABU although having a go at Michael Gove is not!

BooBooGlass · 25/09/2010 17:32

It looks like he's trying to vogue

msyikes · 25/09/2010 17:34

BooBooGlass I LOVE that picture, imagine he is calling 'Oi Yikes, get over here and....'Blush sorry Yvette.

Thug life.

His features are so far apart he looks like a reflection in a fairground fun mirror.

Catrinm · 25/09/2010 17:42

I fancy the Miliband brothers.

He looks too much like Nick Griffin. He frightens me half to death every time he stands up in the house of commons.

He does look like Molesworth, chiz.

I don't understand your thread title. I mean it's English. All of the words in isolation are absolutely fine. Put together it's meaningless. I have three degrees. It just doesn't make sense. What do you mean? Am I drunk?

To find Ed Balls rather.... you see, I'm getting this far and stumbling over your next word. Did you mean to type something else?

giveitago · 25/09/2010 18:34

D Mil - met him years back and he was pretty good looking. I think he's deliberately tried to go for a nerd look to give himself some credibility. But he's still not bad.

Not ed balls though.

msyikes · 25/09/2010 21:06

ROFL at all your answers, I always knew it was wrong but I just couldn't help it. Grin It's just his sheer brio in a most brioless world that I like.

As for the comparison with Ken Clarke, well Ken is the acceptable face of Conservatism isn't he, so not wholly unappealing... even Molesworth! Nick Griffin on the other hand, nothing could be more offputting.

Both Miliband brothers is greedy Cartinm! Like most good trade unionists, I would plump for Ed there :)

YABU immediately put on a johnny depp movie and repeat until your brain and eyes have been re-programmed to see and think properly.
I would say that if you had a thing for mr bean you would be doing better ;) :)
