YANBU. Probably still in with a chance, too.

Tricky one.. He goes through phases so depending on what present phase hes in, you possibly might be unreasonable. Or not!

Don't know what DH would say about it though. He bought me the first album so it's a bit of a betrayal. Just have a thing about Scottish Italians.

He's a lovely guy and a family friend! Close friends with my younger cousin, and will regularly be found round my auntie J's for his tea. Very down to earth (if a bit scatty!) and with all the same old pals from school, etc. Also very loyal to his home town of Paisley (even if it doesn't always have the best reputation!).

Dieu that's good to hear. When I drive the 350 miles to Scotland I listen to his music and it sounds like home.

YANBU, he is a beautiful man!

I share your pain. 44 years old & feel slightly awkward at my feelings towards him. 'Cougar' springs to mindConfused

Smoorikins · 02/05/2015 06:57

He sounds quite old, so based on that yanbu.

Not a clue what he looks like though, or indeed what age he actually is.

mrsdavidbowie · 02/05/2015 06:58

I too am 55 and would too.
Fight you for him Smile

He's just quite effortlessly cool, not a 'try hard'. Some people have just got it, haven't they. My cousin fondly and jokingly bemoans the fact that Paolo will actually pick up a t-shirt off his bedroom floor, sniff it, shrug, put it on ... then win some best dressed award. Whereas cuz himself has to spend considerable time getting ready!

SnowyPiglet · 02/05/2015 15:54

Ooh, you are definitely not BU! I am 53 and think he is lovely. I adore his album Caustic Love, and have watched the video of him on YouTube singing Let Me Down Easy so many times......(try it!)

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 02/05/2015 16:22

Yanbu. Your in with a shot. If you get in line.....

He does have a scruffy appeal to him & his voice is just gorgeous.

TruJay · 02/05/2015 17:47

Yanbu I've always loved him and his music. When he first came onto the scene he was doing a gig close by to me for £9.50 per ticket and noone would go with me as they didn't know who he was, I wasn't confident enough to go alone so I missed it, was so gutted.

I'm completely in love with him, in a teenage infatuation sort of way. I'm 41!

Millipedewithherfeetup · 02/05/2015 19:38

You are all allowed paolo as long as you all leave ross poldark alone Smile

WilburIsSomePig · 02/05/2015 19:48

I met him in Glasgow a few years ago and he was so lovely to my DD (then 3). He was bloody gorgeous.

gemdrop84 · 02/05/2015 20:16

I love him, Iron Sky is my favourite song and his voice is so soothing!

Ingles2 · 02/05/2015 20:24

I'll join you.. And I'm 43 ??

Valsoldknickers · 02/05/2015 20:27

I'm in as well Grin, beautiful man, beautiful voice....

Lovelise · 02/05/2015 20:42

I LOVE Paolo and his music! DH is a bit jealous Grin

Bambambini · 02/05/2015 21:06

So me one was saying they didn't know what he looked like! Didn't put one when he was just a youngster as it feels a bit pervy but he really was quite beautiful.
