Just that really. Idly dream of running off to a debauched life of drugs and rock and roll 😀

I snogged him and stuff back in 2006. He was lovely, if a bit little boy lost. Very humble and sweet.

Poetic genius, 10/15 years ago yes I'd be right there with you, however his looks has seriously degraded with the excessive drugs. But I can see the appeal.

3Eggses · 13/10/2016 20:06

But scone, those teeth? Shock

Won't ask about the "and stuff"...

SukeyTakeItOffAgain · 13/10/2016 20:07

Oh god, the teeth! He's on his way to being Shane MacGowan. As for little boy lost, I'm sure you could find one without the risk of getting scabies.

HolesInTheFloor · 13/10/2016 20:08

I totally would. I have vague day dreams of me convincing him to quit drugs and he has a wash and writes me lots of lovely poems and is eternally grateful to me.

sconebonjovi · 13/10/2016 20:10

'Twas 10 years ago 3, his teeth were fine! I was rather young and thought him a delightful poet and a rogue! We drank cans of red strips, smoked some marlboros and talked about art. He was lush!

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 13/10/2016 20:11

He's a sweaty heroin addict

Clearly not been in the sugar free methadine - those teeth!

TheWildRumpyPumpus · 13/10/2016 20:13

Hah! I spent time in psych hospital with one of his exes who was going through rehab while I was being treated for PND.

The stories she had to tell...

BastardGoDarkly · 13/10/2016 20:15

He's not a heroin addict anymore Angry

He's a musical and lyrical genius, and fucking lovely to boot!

and I probably would

Manky looking pasty faced smackhead - think I'd rather shag Donald Trump tbh!

God, i soo would too!!
His 'for lovers' song makes me melt into a huge puddle everytime i hear it..

P1nkP0ppy · 13/10/2016 20:27

Ye gods, have some self respect op 😳😖
I think I need a bleach bath reading this thread, and mouthwash

Manky looking pasty faced smackhead indeed I'll pass on shagging Trump, thanks! SquatBetty

serialtester · 13/10/2016 20:29

I think he's quite sweet.

DiegeticMuch · 13/10/2016 20:35

Is he seeing Pearl Lowe now? I thought I saw them in the SCD audience watching Daisy.

AlbusPercival · 13/10/2016 20:35

I'd prefer Carl, but I saw Pete gig touring his solo album and he was mesmerising

VeryBitchyRestingFace · 13/10/2016 20:40

There is no Taylforth connection.

These days, Kate Moss' facial appearance is sometimes compared - unfavourably - to GT in the media.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 13/10/2016 20:42

Love Peter, love the old acoustic stuff. Saw the libertines in Hyde park a while back, and have to say, I prefered him greasy and druggy. He's got all fat and grown up now. He's still welcome to come to mine and sit and play some guitar though.

HungryHorace · 13/10/2016 20:51

Hmmm...not even with someone else's!

You'd need a good scrub with carbolic and then some afterwards.

notquiteruralbliss · 13/10/2016 21:05

YADNBU. I don't fancy him (way too young for me) but I can see why you would. He is talented, charismatic, a bit vulnerable and incredibly sweet. And as someone up thread pointed out, hugely tall.

MissWillaCather · 13/10/2016 21:08

Maybe he'll read this and think he'd like me too...

I'm not looking for phyical perfection, that would mean I'd have to be perfect myself 😀

But that talent, that feeling, it gets me

You need help. He looks like he has bacteria growing in every cell of his body Confused

HappyAxolotl · 13/10/2016 21:13

I saw him play live last year? early this year? and he is looking clean now. In both ways. I hope he is doing well.

And he is really lovely. I know a few women who are big fans and got to know him and the rest of Babyshambles & Libertines quite well.

In fact, one of their group sadly died suddenly at a young age and Pete visited her parents, played a gig in her memory to fund the funeral, put a tribute to her on his forum, spent time with her friends.

So although he isn't exactly my type (quite cute in a puppy dog sort of way though!) and he's had his troubles for sure, he's a good lad.
