to have a little Morten moment

[Rhubarbgarden]

Kids put to bed, kitchen tidied, laundry sorted, I sat down on the sofa with a nice cuppa to watch Bake Off, and thought to myself "Ooh, I know what I fancy, a little bit of Morten". Maybe it was someone talking about macaroons, I don't know. Anyway it was too easy to fire up YouTube and do a quick search, and there was the Stay on These Roads video.

Oh my eyes, he was lovely.

I've not so much as thought about Mr Harket for years. I'm pushing 40, with two kids, and dh will be home any minute. It is not reasonable behaviour, is it?

i cried too at the concert i went to

not sure that they actually sung anything all you could hear was hysterical screaming

I can still remember watching them on with their corded landlines

He was always too neat. I preferred Mags.

don't know anyone that like Pal though

I managed to hold back the tears at their final London concert.

It's 100% perfectly normal to have a Morten moment.

Or a Mags moment.

Or a Morten-and-Mags-stuck-in-a-lift-moment.

Not that I give it much thought...

Check out the 'I call Your Name' video. My personal fave!

I loved Mags. everyone else liked Morten. thought I could nab Mags then but noooooooo.

and imo morten has NOT age well! knew that even in the 80's hew wouldn't.

aahhhhh the living daylights.......the blood that moves the body.....hunting high and low...

Scoundrel Days is one of my all time fave albums.

and sawthem in concert in the 80s. Mags on the skateboard......

yy I used to wear the leather bracelets all up my arms too!

ah yes Saturday superstore when Mags dressed up in Bernie Cliftons ostrich costume! .

hands up, I liked Pal too!

Think I've uploaded pic of me & Magne from Feb this year on my profile.

I think you'll find I'm Mrs Harket

I quite liked Pal actually. All three of them in a lift?? What do they look like now, anyone know?

Oh, he's always been so beautiful. That bit in the Take On Me video where he beckons her into the picture...I wished that was me very badly!

I'm @mrs_harket on twitter!

Blast! WireCat

Yanbu at all. Not one little bit. Oh I sooo would!

(promise, keep watching!)

You know, I don't do celebrity crushes. Never really have.

But Morten....

Wirecat, that's great!

Our Mort went out with the girl in the Take On Me video. I was so jealous!

That voice!! Incredible. Never heard anything like it.

He's in his fifties now and still looking good. There was a thread a while back with photos and he looked good!

I love that Dont. Morten doesn't do it for me though. John Taylor stole my heart and that was that.....

DontMentionThePrunes that video is hilarious!

"Sold to the gentleman in the mustard cords"

Good on Morty to appear in it. Like when Johnny Depp went on The Fast Show.

Now,Prunes I'm not really very keen on mustard. But, I'd swallow that.

Lashings and lashings of the stuff.

Recent footage on BBC Breakfast

It's great, isn't it? "I know where you can get some tomatoes at three times the price!" "Really?! Where?!"

(To return to the subject) I think I was about 13 when Take On Me was released...obviously MH looked like a big girl's blouse, but he was still formative... Sigh.

oh dear he needs to do his shirt up he could catch a cold

i have gone off him a little after seeing that bbc breakfast clip :(

Have you seen the bit in this is 40 when they are in the car and he's listening to the pixies and she puts on 'take on me'-? classic
Morten was my first love- shook his hand at the albert hall new years eve concert '95.
