He's just so manly and, well, hot. Particularly the photo of him in his combat gear.

I can't be alone in my new obsession, surely?

sillymillyb "Grunt what's your usual type of man?"

Well I usually like "pretty" men with dark hair e.g. Alain Delon, Keanu Reeves, Enrique Iglesias. That type of thing.

HOWEVER, the sexiest, most attractive man I have ever set eyes on is Lee Van Cleef in several Spaghetti westerns such as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Bearing in mind that was made in 1966, when I was 12 yrs old, I was a teenager when I first set eyes on him and thought "Phwoooarr!" He certainly had a lot of the attributes that you say you're a sucker for.

Oooh, I can't believe I forgot to mention Michael Jackson in his younger days (1970s-80s) who was a major lust object. He was the only one of similar age to me (4yrs diff).

sillymillyb · 06/02/2015 12:43

Hmmm, maybe I'm just a slut cos I like the sound of the men you have mentioned too! You have good taste (and I'm very glad your living ole Kingy to me!)

I think it's when men wear jeans tighter than mine, and weigh less than me that they stop being attractive to me. Which is poss why I'm single as that rules out a lot of them Grin

sillymillyb · 06/02/2015 12:45

Naaaah, you lost me with Michael j! But he prob comes under my tighter than mine jeans rule....

King Abdullah always reminds me of Penfold from Dangermouse, but minus the glasses.

Confused What?! I always thought Queen Rania married down when she took him on!!! Mind you I do think he is seriously improving with age.

trulybadlydeeply · 06/02/2015 13:50

Ooh, I'd never really studied him before, but now...

In that link it states that he "pledged to hit the militants "hard in the very center of their strongholds""

He can hit me hard in the very center of my stronghold anytime Grin

I'm glad someone started this thread. I thought I was the only one who was a bit 'Ooo, la la!' When I saw photos of him.

Actually, seeing pictures of his wife, she's a beauty too. Good looking couple all round.

dementedma · 06/02/2015 13:52

serious badass lol!
yep, count me in

sourdrawers · 06/02/2015 13:52

I've been looking for a thread on the situation in the Middle East .

meditrina · 06/02/2015 13:54

Official picture of his family from a few years ago. All good looking!

I think this is the most recent serious thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/in_the_news/2299546-Jordanian-Pilot-burned-to-death-by-IS

And if you use 'Advanced Search' for ISIS, you'll find other threads over time and from various angles (I did it just on ISIS since 01/01/15 and got over 270 hits)

Cocolepew · 06/02/2015 13:59

His wife is gorgeous, him not so much.
Charles would send them a nice plantoto talk too and a packet of Dutchy (sp??) shortbread.

punygod · 06/02/2015 14:00

Just clicked on the link with an open mind.

My mind and my fanny has just hermetically sealed itself.

theforceawakens · 06/02/2015 14:04

trulybadlydeeply I just inhaled boiling hot coffee! "he can hit me in my stronghold".....I might use that on dh one of these days! Blush

I definitely did a little at the concept of him jumping in a plane to go and sort the situation out himself.

Now that's a king for you.

Is it ok if I drift off into a little daydream about Prince Harry doing the same thing?

LikeABadSethRogenMovie · 06/02/2015 14:14

No, no, no, no, no! He just looks like the average Bob from down the pub...Jordanian edition. That said, there is a photo on Queen Rania's Instagram where he looks vaguely doable.

theforceawakens · 06/02/2015 14:22

I'd say it's 50:50 on the subject which is good enough for me. I can go about my day, having diiiiirty thoughts about Jordanian Bob, without feeling like a weirdo.

And, if the gorgeous Raina finds him hot he really must be!

Queen Rania has an Instagram account?!

Bue, yes. I like her self description. Something along the lines of "Wife and Mother who happens to have a very cool day job"

Bellerina2 · 06/02/2015 15:01

Oh no, not the king of Jordan. The king of Spain on the other hand...

(That's Felipe btw, just in case anyone thinks it's still Juan Carlos and I'm mad!)

MamaLazarou · 06/02/2015 15:01

YANBU - just googled him. Yum!

Normally I love a silver fox. WTF is wrong with me? Bleugh.

VictorineMeurent · 06/02/2015 15:06

So pleased to know I'm not the only one who had these thoughts.....
