I cant work out if it's because i went out with a welsh man who looked a bit like him or if it's all his own doing but i find myself quite liking a bit of Rob.

IBU arent I?

He wears knee socks. YABU.

notnowbernard · 10/08/2014 00:56

He doesn't float my boat but he's bloody funny

Gruntfuttock · 10/08/2014 00:58

Very talented but totally unfanciable, much as I love his accent.

I wear knee socks. We could wear knee socks together. Grin

He is very funny. I think that's what it is.

no, it's fine. I am quite indifferent, I must say, though The Trip was good wasn't it? He was marvellous in Gavin and Stacey.

It's fine, you carry on.

He's at the outer edges of being attractive, but that could be being distorted because he's funny as fuck.

Him going in to his Tom Jones though is a bit like Rowan Atkinson going into his Elizabethan Blackadder Grin

I really loved the recent series he was in with Steve Coogan - The Trip (?)

They look more like pop socks to me.

Much worse than the Scottish manly knee high socks I was imagining.

Rob Brydon?

That's the coal dust from generations of miners Dia Wink

It's wholesome grime.

RJnomore · 10/08/2014 01:13

YAbu.

DontForgetTheLightAlesLawrence · 10/08/2014 01:14

I'd like Rob Brydon and Rhod Gilbert, please.

microcosmia · 10/08/2014 01:16

It's a no from me I'm afraid. When I see him I think "game show host" and he's not funny enough to counteract that for me, seems contrived somehow.

Egghead68 · 10/08/2014 01:18

Rhod shouts too much, and I bet it's not just because he's on stage either.

Him shouting sweet nothings into your ear is never going to go down well.

AgentZigzag · 10/08/2014 01:25

I can never get over looking up at the lights which you think are stars and they turn out to be someone's porch light Dia Grin
