Hahaha! So it's not just me! I didn't think opinions would be quite so polarised!! literally laughing out loud at your reaction lovecat. And I can assure you I was not pissed in the slightest when I posted last night, albeit after the hour of midnight ;-)
I'm up for the fight Yossarian! You know what, I think one of the main reasons for the attraction is the fact that he is the complete opposite of my newly-chucked XP :-D

YossarianLives · 27/08/2011 12:01

Googled him. YABU.

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 27/08/2011 14:17

You chucked a charismatic, devastatingly handsome, genuinely talented, self-effacing author Mum? Shock

Did you dump him because he hadn't won any critical acclaim?

pointydog · 27/08/2011 14:28

I've got a soft spot for AMis. I quite like him. Don't fancy him. Too many teeth troubles.

Mumtabulous · 27/08/2011 14:39

Haha, not that I agree with you of course, but you are hilarious izzy!
I've never really noticed the teeth, pointy. But I guess he doesn't smile that often...

OP posts:
pointydog · 27/08/2011 14:43

Oh his teeth look good. But he has written at length about his crumbling knackered teeth. I think he had the lot of them hoiked out ages ago and got faslsies.
