Richard Armitage in Spooks

[cupcakesandbunting]

I definitely would.

Maybe twice.

This thread has exploded since I last looked, much to my delight. It has been my guilty pleasure for days. I am so relieved I have not been alone in the lurker and newbie stakes.

May I be so bold as to offer a few thoughts on past comments?

Mrs LN's DH's keks. Tell him Vogue says leather is very fashion-forward for a/w 2010

Milk Tray men -- ah yes, I remember that well. But not very feasible, they'd keep getting a little behind on their rounds.
''Bin the choccies, hun, the kitchen's through here''

Tats- I'll see the dum spiro spero and raise him festina lente

Theresahole - I can think of several things I'd like him to do slowly

Thanks for the tip re the keks - was going to say to DH that I don't necessarily intend for him to wear them out of the house !

Mrs LN, Another plus of this thread is that we are all such an intellectual bunch

Or very handy with 'google' - but I like your theory better!

Ok, I've not yet watched Monday's episode so have had to skip the last two pages of comments in case of spoilers - so apologies if my comment is completely out of context with where the thread is at now!

I just wanted to thank you ladies (and in Cupcakes' case, massive horndog ) for the most entertaining thread in a long time! And not just that, but thanks to you and the RA YT videos which I watched with huge lust pleasure, I last night had probably the most erotic dream I have had for a good ten years featuring RA - my god, was it disappointing to wake up...

I do hope it's true that RA doesn't read about himself online. If he did, he might barricade himself inside his home, for fear of being licked to death by the nation's mummies.

Interesting fact about RA - he used to be a dancer before he was an actor, and danced in Cats

Apparently he's v.good at the Argentine Tango - can you imagine...

Perhaps he might be persuaded to take part in Strictly Come Dancing next year?

Flowers, I think I read somewhee that he said he would not

Yes, I know. I read somewhere (during my extensive researches inspired by this thread) that he's said he would never appear on TV as RA - and I suspect that the producers of SCD wouldn't choose anyone who had been a professional dancer as that rather defeats the point - but it's still an entertaining thought.

Ooh yes, RA in Strictly, now that would be something to watch...

Yes, but it's just a pipe dream. I wonder if there's some footage somewhere of him in Cats?

Tis true - this is without doubt the best thread on Mumsnet. I haven't felt this good since I had an ace (geddit?) sex dream about Rafael Nadal

However Nadal is a bit boyish and clean cut whereas RA is clearly pure filth.

Flowers - do you think that by searching out footage of RA in Cats we might be in danger of ruining the dream?

jmarm- you go look and if it is really bad you can change your name to nevergoogleRAincats.

There's nothing on Youtube. But surely, if there were, it would just demonstrate his thespian versatility and he would be wearing a leotard?

My mum has got the stage show on dvd. Have only looked on the box & leaflet but am fairly sure he's not in that one.

There is a cast picture which isn't particularly offensive but there is something else which pings up - none of you should have to read it.

Link please....I'll take my chances!

I don't know how to post a link but:

SPOILER ALERT - DO NOT READ THE BELOW IF YOU ARE OF A DELICATE DISPOSITION

It says that RA had a boyfriend when in Cats, and even gives his name.

Eeek!

For those of you interested in raunch, I suggest your next mission should be to track down a recording of RA as Lovelace in the BBC radio adaptation of Clarissa. It doesn't seem to be available on the website or in the online shop.

Cross-post. The eeek was in response to nevergoogleRAincats. The rest is of no concern to me.

It was a long time ago. Besides, he hasn't met me yet

It can't be true because I also found this from an interview:
What type of girl would you go for?
RA: Someone a bit naughty

That would be me then
