I'd like to keep him. But would he be too tall to fit into my ancient Renault Clio?

Why????????? YABU

OwlinaTree · 26/07/2013 22:58

Can you drop the back seats down?

NotYoMomma · 26/07/2013 23:00

I love both of them.

we can kidnap them together if you like. I have an inconspicuous Citroen C4? Wink

ClockWatchingLady · 26/07/2013 23:00

He's so lovely and knows so much about capital cities beginning with P

Owlina, maybe. I don't want to cramp his lovely clever legs

If he asks you any questions the answer is likely to be Barkina Faso, or possibly the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I love Richard and stalk him on Twitter.

ClockWatchingLady · 26/07/2013 23:06

Oh Kim, does he? I knew it - I like cake too! He IS destined to be with me!

Could you all just please leave my Richard alone.

Thank you.

ClockWatchingLady · 26/07/2013 23:08

MyBoys, he may not have time for questions, but thanks for the tip.

Sorry, Mildred. Just for a little while...?

MildredIsMyAlterEgo · 26/07/2013 23:14

Sorry. No.

.....and I would like to introduce my pointless friend....Richard

Hearing this is the best bit of my day. It NEVER gets old.

I think he is great. He is so funny ...and so tall. (What a great combination)

He is single and says he won't get married to any of his stalkers Twitter followers. Sad

MyBoysAreFab · 26/07/2013 23:33

He says that, but he hasn't said no to me yet....

Inertia · 27/07/2013 00:33

You get Richard, I'll go for Xander.

We'll be needing both for the cheeky banter.

MardyBra · 27/07/2013 00:46

I would like to take both of them down to the pub. We'd all become new best friends and go out for a nice meal and a piss up afterwards. My kids would enjoy texting them with information and questions afterwards. Hanky panky is optional because I've already embarassed myself by propostioning flirted a little with Kevin McCloud this week.

ClockWatchingLady · 27/07/2013 07:24

Single?
For some reason i assumed he was married with kids and was a little worried his wife might be on MN and now be watching nervously for Clios with the back seats folded down

ClockWatchingLady · 27/07/2013 07:38

Gooooood, I know - so quick-witted, so tall. And nice big thick glasses (poor eyesight is one of my favourite traits in a man as i get older).

MardyBra and Inertia - OK, we can get them both, and then take them to the pub (or for cake). But then Richard is definitely coming back to mine.

mlamle · 27/07/2013 08:23

Haha! I don't fancy either of'm but do think they're great, could assist proceedings in taking us all down the pub in the MPV. I'll have a shandy.

PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline · 27/07/2013 08:33

Has Richard ever been on for a webchat?

ConcreteElephant · 27/07/2013 08:40

I'm 99% sure I saw him on the Embankment, near Temple a couple of weeks ago, only he was dressed in summer attire rather than a suit so my little brain couldn't compute quickly enough! He was with a young boy and wiki (fount of all knowledge, oh yes) says he has 2 children.

I think he's marvellous and witty.

Ooh who knew that his brother is the bass player in Suede!

ClockWatchingLady · 30/07/2013 13:48

I'll be spending a bit more time around Embankment I think.

And what a nice article, Kim.
