He looks just like my photography tutor from college......it was quite a few years ago now so it can't be him, he had the same accent as well. I can't watch it without thinking of him, and also because of that fecking theme tune.

Tormartoes and a marrrowwwwww.

Bupcakes it's a fake Lancashire accent, do your research! Wink

He's making those eyes at me you know...

(I really need to get on with this essay I'm supposed to be writing).

comelywench · 21/05/2012 13:49

Andy reminds me of the ice truck killer from Dexter; and I think Mr Bloom dances like a stripper (which is not a bad thing). I love watching the opening and sadly have "you tubed" it! (do I need to name change now ????)

WetTheMogwai · 21/05/2012 13:59

I love him a little....when he's up against mr tumble there's no competition...

TroublesomeEx · 21/05/2012 14:02

Ferret you won't regret it...

BarredfromhavingStella · 21/05/2012 14:02

LOL-He is a bit of a guilty crush thing, think it might be that Yorkshire accent Wink

BarredfromhavingStella · 21/05/2012 14:05

Fluffy are you sure cos I'd have said Yorkshire (& did)-sounds like a Leeds lad to me?? Confused

thefurryone · 21/05/2012 14:15

The danger of starting to fancy Mr Bloom was one of the deciding factors in whether I went back to work or not Wink Grin although it hasn't stopped me developing a bit of a thing about Andy and his wild adventures which has now thankfully been cured by allyours bringing up Fatima Whitbread

DS does watch Mr Bloom occassionally on a weekend, although DH tends to be there and just goes on about how creepy he is which would put anyone off.

thebody · 21/05/2012 14:32

Yes I defiantly see Andy and fatima as alike but he looks a bit feminine and she looks masciline. Wierd.

thebody · 21/05/2012 14:35

Mr bloom is wierd with the luring children into his allotment and
Calling them tiddlers.

Just hate that cooking mare tho, like to put the slippy dippy soap where sun don't shine.

BupcakesandCunting · 21/05/2012 14:37

Thanks for the Andy/Fatima comparison. Totally cured me of that one now.

comelywench · 21/05/2012 14:40

thebody: know what you mean about the "luring". I'd still like to be "lured" tho Blush I think that cooking wifey drinks gin and hits the kids. Bit suspicious of Poi as well tbh

OP posts:
thebody · 21/05/2012 15:26

Yes Comely I do agree he's hot and a tad of the 'mellors' about him.

Poi is just so short it's annoying

but the most disturbing is mr tumble in drag?? Why does he have that programme with all the characters? He's not funny at all.

I wouldnt leave my kids with max either as doodles does all the care there and he's a freakin dog

AmberNectarine · 21/05/2012 15:31

YABVU.

Andy is the Ice Truck Killer and Fatima Whitbread's bastard love child though.

In a minute one of the fucking weirdos who like Justin will turn up...

LaWobble · 21/05/2012 15:35

Mr Bloom is a bit skanky and seedy looking, but in a good way. Yes, a bit Sean Beany. Nyom.

DuelingFanjo · 21/05/2012 15:41

no, no, no, no, no!

His accent is so faked and it ruins it for me.

bigredtractor · 21/05/2012 15:41

Mr Bloom is special guest at a kids event in the park at the end of my street in a fortnight's time... Any phone numbers, saucy messages or items to be autographed you'd like me to pass on, just let me know!!

Ticket only I think as they reckon he'll be vair vair popular...

DuelingFanjo · 21/05/2012 15:43

yes, don't get me started on Justin. I remember a really old thread about how gorgeous he is but now that I have actually seen him I can't understand why anyone would find him attractive!

thebody · 21/05/2012 17:26

What have we become? Goes off to seek a life...

Tanith · 21/05/2012 17:33

I like Mr. Bloom, but don't find him attractive. Same with Justin: I love Something Special, but Justin's House reminds me of Noel's Teaparty.

I Can Cook and Mister Maker are good so long as they stay put: whoever thought of dragging them round the countryside?? Doesn't work at all, especially MM, who barely lets the child join in.

I have been indulging myself today with that wonderful Autumn Harvest song that was on when DD was a baby: I loved it then and I love it now. Smile

DH once showed me an unintentionally embarrassing clip of Mr Bloom taking a child behind a screen with a cucumber - just tried to find it, but couldn't. Whoever sanctioned that one?Smile

raindropsinmyhair · 21/05/2012 17:59

I was actually going to start a thread on fancying him the other day.

When he turned up in Justin's House the other day I though I was going to wet myself in excitement.
