Dear Kevin,

Well, I've just finished watching your programmes about making and living in a shed, and I must admit I did "shed" a tear or two at the end of the series. I must admit at not seeing your lovely, craggy, face every Sunday.

You're tall, intelligent, and have attractive, yet not too male bimboish features. Even your wrinkles are lovely.

I was disappointed that you didn't get your shirt off for the hot tub scene, but then again, it's nice that you're not slaggy about showing off your torso to all and sundry.

I was a bit miffed at seeing the old women sort of touching you when they were measuring up a sustainable alpaca gown for you, but babe, I know where they're coming from.

I have a dressing gown. You have a dressing gown. Not being funny or anything, but on the Internet and in my living room, I'm kind of a big deal, yeah?

So you and me, yeah. You like architecture, I have a house or two. Maybe you could have some "Grand Designs" on me? I know we'll have some tough times babe. But what about it?

Kevin, I love you.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yabu, I really like him but that shed show was embarrassing

MaureenMLove · 15/10/2012 21:18

Seems perfectly reasonable to me! Grin

pictish · 15/10/2012 21:19

Yanbu. I don't fancy him whatsoever - but I'm sure he'd love to receive that letter!! Grin

Chubfuddler · 15/10/2012 21:19

I think you must send that letter, but written in green ink. Or your own blood. That would prove how much you love him.

likelucklove · 15/10/2012 21:23

YANBU.

I luff him.

And I met him on Saturday. Have autographs, pictures and everything.

Grin DP thinks I'm insane because he's 10 years older than my DDad!

aldiwhore · 15/10/2012 21:24

You don't know if you don't try.

(FFS woman YABVVVU!!)

Wink
UndeadPixie · 15/10/2012 21:26

YADNBU. My love for him is nowhere near as grand as yours, but that is brilliant Grin

Iodine · 15/10/2012 21:28

Yabvu! He's so negative. I cringe watching Grand Designs, his miserable face ruins it for me. Just once I want to hear him say something nice before the big reveal.

lottiegarbanzo · 15/10/2012 21:28

Yes but have you painted your bedroom in one of Kev's personally endorsed heritage paint colours, from Fired Earth? Well have you? You could use a sample pot to write your letter.

Hassled · 15/10/2012 21:32

I don't think you're selling yourself well enough here. The dressing gown alone isn't going to wing it.

Ask yourself - What Would Kevin Like About You? Have you ever made a dolls' house out of matchboxes? Was that dolls' house ethically sound? Did it have clean lines and stay true to its surroundings? Talk about that a bit.

squoosh · 15/10/2012 21:34

Dear Kevin,

Has anyone told you that you look like the product of a liaison between a human and a paperclip?

TiggerWearsATriteSmile · 15/10/2012 21:37

That flipping shed programme made me want to punch him. Repeatedly.

My grand designs days are tarnished by shed world.

Kevin Mc Twat.

gindrinker · 15/10/2012 21:37

Have you noticed how many of the wives on Grand Designs get pregnant after Kevin visits?

BikeRunSki · 15/10/2012 21:40

Oi, I saw him first!

And I have two dressing gowns...

Chubfuddler · 15/10/2012 21:41

I have gin. There they are, big and fecund in their caravans.

ike1 · 15/10/2012 21:59

Haa haaa oh this has made me laff,,lotsa little kevs ..

PickledFanjoCat · 15/10/2012 22:00

Controversial but I think the man is a tool!

ike1 · 15/10/2012 22:00

Dont come aknockin when the caravan's arockin'

Mintyy · 15/10/2012 22:03

Oh gosh he's such an arse. Do people really love him? (apart from his own family of course). Am truly amazed.

Tnetennba · 15/10/2012 22:03

Love the letter but Kev's head is too wobbly for me.

stinklebell · 15/10/2012 22:05

YANBU, but I think I prefer his friend more

Loveweekends10 · 15/10/2012 22:08

I thought his friend was the guy out of the nativity film who played the teaching assistant. It's not though is it?

OnlyWantsOne · 15/10/2012 22:08

It's the boots. And he speaks French. And Latin. Did I mention his BIG hands and manly builder knowledge

Hamnvik · 15/10/2012 22:09

You have to send it. I love Kevin! Although the shed thing was a bit crap.

Arf at the idea of him getting all the Grand Designs woman up the duff I had never thought of that but its so obvious now!

GobblersKnob · 15/10/2012 22:11

Shame you missed his live webchat op, you could have propositioned him then Wink
