To not be at all surprised to hear about the latest celeb affair?

DH was quite surprised to hear about Jeremy Clarkson, but I wasnt. Not at all, infact I am surprised to hear if a famous man hasnt had an affair at some point.

They are famous, rich and away from home alot so are bound to be targetted by a certain type of woman. Also, alot of them are cossetted and looked after to the point where they believe that they can get away with things that us mere mortals cant, despite the fact that the paps are following them all the time.

Am I cynical as DH suggests or is he niave?!

If killing a king is regicide and killing a brother is fratricide, what would killing Piers Morgan be?
Countryside.

Grin love it, grovel!

If AT was really with the pampas grass brigade, I must have missed that episode of Perfect Housewife.

  1. Hoover & clean
  2. invite neighbours round
  3. provide cut glass bowl for car keys
  4. .....

TBH a good swinging session could easily be ruined by the sight of dusty skirting boards.

Although I despise jug ears there will be a reason why he sold his sons story. There is no way he couldve been treated in a hospital for months on end without the press getting wind of it. All it would take would be another parent to tell their friends so, it was probably better to give one storing and let the chap be treated. Besides, what if he'd needed a bone marrow transplant? I think we have to give him that. Of course Michelle wouldve known what was going on but, she had four kids, it took her alot to pack her bag and eventually leave I bet.

I bet 99% of celeb men are at it. I know someone who's wife is never going to leave her 3 million house why would she? she hasnt got her career, spent all her life bringing his children up and giving them stability. And yet he shags about on tour like no ones business.

I couldnt fancy a pink floyd fan, Im afraid. Sad

I find James May's talk about early music strangely alluring.

Wamster · 04/04/2011 18:18

I find James May alluring full stop. He's my kinda guy.

clarkson chatted me up in barcelona nearly ten years ago. he wore white jeans at the time. he is bilious and disgusting and made me want to throw up sangria all over him, and i hadn't even been drinking sangria.

the rumours of bono are apparently also true, and gordon ramsey apparently has a mistress ensconsed in a london flat.

carminaburana · 04/04/2011 18:25

I Couldn't fancy a man who bought anything by Katie Melua - it would be an immidiate turn off - I also wouldn't be interested in a man who didn't like sport, was in touch with his 'feminine side' - & was drunk after 3 pints...

PartyHands · 04/04/2011 19:12

Carmina who are you talking about now? Just to clarify?

PartyHands · 04/04/2011 19:15

Who else would panic if their DH/DP came home wearing white jeans?

PeterAndreForPM · 04/04/2011 19:20

I would think my DH had undergone a lunchtime lobotomy if he came home wearing white jeans Smile

DH when he was DBoyfriend turned up to see me one time with a turquoise blazer, purchased from Bennetton, for £25. That worried me.

But this was when jean suits were big amongst certain circles of German businessmen.

"But DH is from Yorkshire, PartyHands."

(True. But too late now.)

PartyHands · 04/04/2011 19:34

Someone on facebook just admitted to me their husband wears and has a pair of white jeans. "Standard preppy fare in New England."

PartyHands · 04/04/2011 19:35

Off topic. I'm really sorry.

Malificence · 04/04/2011 19:41

Not little Richard Hammond Sad I thought he was utterly devoted to his wife and girls.

The world is a darker place now.

lazarusb · 04/04/2011 19:46

Crikey- if I turned up to a swingers party and ended up with one of the Krankies I'd be gutted Grin Disclaimer:- I am not a swinger!

kittya · 04/04/2011 19:48

The little ones are the worst

Malificence · 04/04/2011 19:59

Do you think Janet Kranky wears her uniform? Shock God what a mental picture. You would definitely need two paper bags.

Ceic · 04/04/2011 20:01

The Krankies were never called as witnesses in Tommy Sheridan's NOTW libel trials.

Pass the brain bleach, please.

SpeedyGonzalez · 04/04/2011 20:11

This thread is hilarious!

I am gagging at the thought of anyone gagging for Clarkson et al.

I also find it terribly sad that any woman would subject herself to a life of putting up with a lying "party hands" husband because she is on the backfoot, economically speaking. Where is these women's self-respect?

PartyHands · 04/04/2011 20:15

Oh now I want to change my name to 'Brain Bleach' !!

carminaburana · 04/04/2011 20:26

Partyhands - I wasn't talking about anyone in particular - just sharing some
thoughts with you.

Oh, and Katie Melua has never confirmed her sexual status - she's deliberately vague - not that it matters - her music is dire gay or straight
