Paul Mason, channel 4 economics correspondent

Anyone else find him strangely attractive?

Not sure whether it's the accent, the big ears or the potato nose, he doesn't look like he ought to be attractive, but he really really is.

Alastair Campbell makes me MELT.

Paul Mason is lush! His book is good too but he does come across as an over enthusiastic grandad sometimes

Oh yes I completely understand the Alistair Campbell lust.

ie when gushing about hipster rebels listening to dub step and writing tweets

With Alistair Campbell it's hard to get past the dodgy dossier really

Alex Thomson has kissed me (on the cheek sadly). Paul Mason's novel 'Rare Earth' is delightfully filthy.

Lucky you!

Bum cheek or face cheek?

Face cheek! He's enormously tall and hunky.

Oh I think he's delicious!

Another Alistair Campbell and Robert Peston fan here. My DD saw Robert Peston in Leon near her office so I may be planning a visit soon!

Moi aussi.

Nettletheelf I remember those too. Useful as an emergency vase. What was I thinking?!!

fraggle nettle

Oh yes. I think it's the accent.

I saw Alistair Campbell in London once on that grassy bit by the Houses of Parliament. He was all flamboyant and chatty to someone media or political.

I think Paul needs to slow down a bit. Recent news coverage has had him gabbling away at Matt Frei about Greece and Paul is rushing so much he can barely get his words out. Even Matt looked a bit concerned tonight. It's ok Paul, we're listening!! [dont fancy him though but to each their own etc].

There's a Mason/Thomson double whammy on the Greece talks right now - in Athens and Brussels respectively.
