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

I can't imagine fancying him sorry OP!
The last I heard is he's clean now, no idea if it's true or not.
I loved the libertines from their first album and he was a bonny lad pre-drugs. He utterly ruined himself though. It was such a shame as I think he was a real talent.

Nope. Nopey nope nope nope nope.

Not now. Not ever.

He was very pretty when he was younger though.

DoYouRememberJustinBobby · 13/10/2016 21:17

I used to fancy him something chronic back in my uni days when The Libertines were at their height. Not so much any more but I think he is incredibly talented and continue to go to his gigs.

HappyAxolotl · 13/10/2016 21:17

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

Whaaaaaat!?! Pearl & Danny split? I did not know that. Sad

shins · 13/10/2016 21:18

Not with yours.

MissWillaCather · 13/10/2016 21:18

See, you say no , no no... I say yeah, yeah, yeah 😀

I met him at a poetry event and he is so funny and kind and intelligent and talented
And I think that's the appeal that draws me into fancying him a bit, not physically but mentally.

Glitteryfrog · 13/10/2016 21:20

Nope.
And I love a bit of rock/indie bloke.
Tommy Lee, motley crue
I want a man not a lost puppy

DramaInPyjamas · 13/10/2016 21:21

Pearl and Danny are still married as far as I know, he does look a bit like Pete though, maybe your just mistaking them for one another.

MissWillaCather · 13/10/2016 21:21

Yes, it's the whole talented but doomed thing.. and I'm too old to think I could save him, but am happy to go down in an opiate and music filled haze...

Pete Doherty?

Pete

Doherty??

Ok then Confused

Just so long as you leave Terry Hall available for me.

MissWillaCather · 13/10/2016 21:24

He has a French girlfriend, so no Gillian/Kate/Pearl. Or me, bien sur, malheureusement.

I thought he was living in France at the moment?

I think he's lovely too, but I would insist on a proper scrub first. Maybe a bit of dental work too. And I'd be a bit worried about where he'd been...

Kennington · 13/10/2016 21:34

You won't feel the same when you read about the death of Marc blanco.
Really sad.
At a minimum Pete knows who killed him.

Seahawk80 · 13/10/2016 21:41

YANBU - I feel the same. In fact if any of my friends see this thread they'll think I started it! I saw him last year at Reading, love him Blush

NotNob · 13/10/2016 21:43

You would need to take some precautionary antibiotics.

MissWillaCather · 13/10/2016 21:50

I can do that., just need to hope my family Understand.. did go and see him whilst they saw festival headline act, so sure they will understand my defection, sordid though it may (hopefully) be 😀

I once had to clean up his sick backstage after a gig at our students union many moons ago. Haven't been able to see him the same way since.

notquiteruralbliss · 13/10/2016 22:46

Happy that was a special night @ the Torriano. He put so much into making sure it was what she would have wanted.

LikeDylanInTheMovies · 13/10/2016 22:51

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

No that's Pearl Lowe (or Pearl from Powder for us Britpop veterans)'s husband Danny Goffey. He was the drummer in Super grass and looks like a better preserved Pete Doherty who has a passing acquaintance with a dentist. Coincidentally Danny also briefly played drums in Babyshambles. Which for Danny Goffey must have been like having a real life portrait of Dorian Grey at the front of the stage.

SugarMiceInTheRain · 13/10/2016 22:54

Put his name and Mark Blanco into Google then see if you still fancy him.

SellFridges · 13/10/2016 23:01

I would. Or I would have before DH.

I met his manager on the train back from EuroDisney. He had some tales to tell...

Bedsheets4knickers · 13/10/2016 23:03

He looks swollen and clammy all the time..
In short NO
