So who would be the one to 'forfeit' should the chance ever arise? Grin

QueenTilly it's not that I'm repressed at all, but I did boggle at the pp who said her DH and MIL might have some overlaps. I'm trying to imagine my DH and elderly MIL lusting after the same people Confused.
FWIW I'd probably have the odd woman on my list, but I'm 100% certain there'd be no men on DH's. My (male) ex often commented on how good looking he found Brad Pitt so he might've been a different kettle of fish.

Dh only allowed me one I choose Axel rose mainly due to his little white shorts in use your illusion one/and two and than we went and saw guns and roses dh wasent impressed not that I ever think Axel would ever find me attractive enough in a crowd of maybe several thousand but that I was also twenty weeks preganant ! ! Dh choice was Jennifer aniston I not sure she would want to be on his laminated list either !

Queen Tilly - no I've never seen an episode of (very boring) friends in my life. I've just contradicted myself but hey, this is mumsnet.

I preferred to watch, 'Frasier' but then, I'm a grown up. I'm very strict about wanting my comedy shows actually be funny.

HumptyWasPushed · 09/08/2014 23:17

I'm actually watching one of mine on TV at the mo...decided she hasn't aged well at all, so she is out, Santa Claus is in! Grin

Friends was popular in the 1990's ? Is that correct ? So, people are still acting like they are in an episode of friends all these years later ? Don't tell me, you've got the Friends theme tune as a ring tone on your 'phone ?

Does canned laughter happen when you open your 'fridge as well ?

cricketpitch · 09/08/2014 23:27

I got the same!!!??? "the test failed to match you to a Kinsey profile. Either you answered some questions wrong or you are a very unusual person"

i can't be that unusual if you got the same bear and iismum and vashta

PrincessTheresaofLiechtenstein · 09/08/2014 23:31

I think this is the place to ask something very important that has been bothering me for some time...DP and I are both bi, so do we each get 5 men and 5 women on our lists, or is that a bit greedy and we should each have 5 in total? I am voting for more options, since meeting any of them is pretty unlikely.

I was 50/50 on that Kinsey quiz, so spot on for me!

HumptyWasPushed · 09/08/2014 23:38

On that quiz, I am 'predominantly homosexual but more than incidentally heterosexual'...WTAF is that supposed to mean? Grin

I think it should be five regardless of gender

Margot

You are addressing Her Majesty, the past poster herself!

Ignoring the fact my original post was a throwaway joke Anyway, I think when people are compiling joke lists, they, being jokes, are not strictly rooted in chronology. People are going to be putting, for example, Aragorn from Lord of the Rings on lists for years, but only 10 years on, the actor who played him looks quite different.

I can understand the being disturbed. I remember being quite disturbed when helping with a house clearance after an elderly relative's death, and finding condoms in the bedroom. My aunt gently explained that "old people have sex too". Grin

lauranorder actually, when I had my first polyphonic ringtone-capable phone, I had Queen, silly. A Kind Of Magic, to be precise.

I will make sure to tell my own mother that "grown-ups" don't watch Friends. Wink I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

I am intrigued that you know it had canned laughter- I can't bloody remember whether it did or not!

MargotLovedTom · 10/08/2014 08:11

It certainly wasn't a joke for Ross; he put a lot of thought into his list Wink.

I think I'd be waaay more shocked if DH fancied a man than if MIL fancied a woman.

Humpty - who hasn't aged well?

olivespickledonions · 10/08/2014 08:16

Friends was filmed in front of a live studio audience.

HumptyWasPushed · 10/08/2014 09:12

Was talking about Caroline Gilmour. Hope I'm as hot as Lorraine Kelly when I'm 50 odd.

I love these threads - do folk really have lists? I don't fancy anyone IRL enough to sent to shag them. Maybe I just don't watch enough telly/films Grin

Lesnewth · 10/08/2014 10:07

My result on the Kinsey quiz was Non Sexual!!! Shock

Lesnewth · 10/08/2014 10:15

My result on the second test was Predominently heterosexual, incidentally homosexual'.

Interesting.

PenelopeGarciasCrazyHair · 10/08/2014 10:33

I am also a very unusual person who doesn't match a profile type - I have a feeling they need to add another profile judging by the number of us that don't match!

BookABooSue · 10/08/2014 10:39

Another 'very unusual person' result here . . . let's face it either MN attracts very unusual types or we're not that unusual at all Grin

PenelopeGarciasCrazyHair · 10/08/2014 10:45

I'd have thought that most people may have fantasies about things they wouldn't necessarily want to experience in RL, perhaps that's what the test can't cope with. It's like "what, you have fantasies about a woman, but are happy to only ever have sex with a man?! Cannot compute."

juneybean · 10/08/2014 10:47

Ooo bit belated but I love Nadia G!

TheBearAndTheBug · 10/08/2014 14:09

I'm very unusual and proud!

Is possibly because after more than three years of pregnancy/breastfeeding/bugger-all-sleep sex is currently 37641257th on my priority list.

Not because of the rubbishness of the test at all. No.

ems1910 · 10/08/2014 16:46

I am just before a 3 on that scale so almost bisexual lol! I would say that is probably quite true as I identify myself as bi but I am in a heterosexual relationship and intend on staying in it for life. Although sick of people asking how that makes me bisexual though! :/

As for the list, yes, we have one. In our heads, not laminated like Ross! I have two.

Isetan · 10/08/2014 17:13

Giles Coren (slightly disheveled toffs are my kryptonite), James Purefoy as Marc Anthony and the guy whose shagging his sister in Game of Thrones. When I first started reading this thread I didn't even have a bloody list and now I'm trawling through People Magazine like a cat on heat.

Lorraine Kelly ??? Stacey Slater hmmm interesting. If I were to have a girl on my list then I'll have Callie Torres from Greys Anatomy.

HumptyWasPushed · 10/08/2014 21:51

Oh just asked if Batman counts...

BookABooSue · 11/08/2014 00:27

Mmm Giles Coren. I'd forgotten about him.
