David Essex! I mean I am 34 but he is so sexy as Eddie Moon. How come I have not noticed him before?

professorsnape, it's ok but I wouldn't brag about it Wink Keep it in the dark recesses of your mind where it belongs. You're not the only one though - my sister confessed to similar last week, I was horrified! Is it a power thing? (genuinely interested)

I have a mild-moderate crush on Nick Clegg, probably shouldn't brag about that either! Blush

Likesshinythings · 10/08/2011 10:36

David Essex is a perfectly reasonable crush - those twinkly eyes....!
I currently have a thing for Dominic West in The Hour

JosieRosie · 10/08/2011 10:38

OMG likesshinythings, I have the Dominic West bug too! Cold sweats, fever, wobbliness - the whole lot! Is there a cure? Wink

Likesshinythings · 10/08/2011 10:42

The only one I can think of, Josie, would involve getting hold of him in person and I think that could prove tricky...!

JosieRosie · 10/08/2011 10:49

Ooh my fever has just raised by a couple of degrees likesshinythings!

Looking forward to next Tuesday already! Wink

kittensliveupstairs · 10/08/2011 10:53

Adrian Chiles anyone?
Thought not, I can have him all to myself.
OP, YAB a but U, my mum went to school with him.

saxony · 10/08/2011 20:13

All your messages have made me laugh. I can see I am not alone although no one in RL agrees with me. I definately have a thing for an older man.....they beat some 20 odd year old anytime!

Lawrence llewelyn Bowen anyone?

babycham42 · 10/08/2011 20:40

Michael Portillo. Got to be wrong........very wrong....

Likesshinythings · 10/08/2011 20:46

Babycham, don't judge yourself. I used to work at the opera house and Michael Portillo was a regular there. All the staff fancied him- he just has something about him (runs away to hide head in shame!)

Sharney · 10/08/2011 20:48

Alan Alda...... from MASH not West Wing!
and, Matt Damon. sigh

babycham42 · 10/08/2011 20:50

OMG .I thought I was the only person in the world! It"s true Mr Portillo has a certain something (don"t ask me what!)

babycham42 · 10/08/2011 21:52

That Sister Jen in 24 hours in A&E is the latest.

UKSky · 10/08/2011 22:01

For secret/sad crushes it's got to be Ray Winstone. How do they get into erotic dreams????

PickleSarnie · 10/08/2011 22:06

Another one for Mr Bloom. Swoooon.

I'd have to get rid of his singing vegetables though.

sue52 · 10/08/2011 22:08

Micheal Portillo?? Get a grip babycham42.

LineRunner · 10/08/2011 22:09

I saw David Essex in Godspell when I was very young. Which would make Dvaid Essex about 96?

babycham42 · 10/08/2011 22:30

Have tried and failed sue52 Blush

Taffybird · 10/08/2011 22:37

begonyabampot I am with you 100% on Michael Biehn. I had a picture of him dressed as Hicks on the wall of my university digs and still get a bit of a flutter whenever I watch Aliens.

My most enduring crush would be Guy Pearce. I was a 15 year old girl when he was Mike in Neighbours and it's never really gone away.

Strangest one would probably be Alan Rickman. Something about the voice...and those meltingly lovely roles in "Truly Madly Deeply" and "Sense and Sensibility."

Taffybird · 10/08/2011 22:41

Oh...and the reason I replied to this thread in the first place but for some reason forgot why I was here Blush: I used to fancy a lad at school who looked like a young David Essex, although strangely, never did go for the real thing. Understandable, though. YANBU.

ChumleeIsMyHomeboy · 10/08/2011 22:47

I had a disturbingly graphic dream about Gordon Brown once. Although it was a couple of years ago I can still relive every hideously pornographic moment of it. Thankfully it didn't develop into a crush.

Now Michael Portillo.........or Alistair Campbell............or Peter Capaldi...........Shit - I think it's time for bed!

sue52 · 10/08/2011 22:49

Gordon Brown and Michael Portillo.!! You need therapy. Alistair Campbell is understandable.

babycham42 · 10/08/2011 22:52

Can you recommend anyone sue52 Grin

babycham42 · 10/08/2011 22:56

Must admit Gordon Brown is even beyond me!

ChumleeIsMyHomeboy · 10/08/2011 22:58

I don't think therapy is taking my needs far enough tbh. I'm way too far gone!
