AIBU to say Paddy McGuinness is the perfect man?

Koala72 · 02/02/2018 21:38

That's it, really. Competent, physically appealing, entertaining and clearly very bright. And an excellent husband.

Come on. Who do you guys think is the perfect man?

Is that you Paddy? Grin

isthismummy · 02/02/2018 21:52

Tom Hardy. Now there's a man who never saw a piece of scenery he didn't like to chewGrin

Koala - can't believe you love Phoenix nights but don't know it's him Hmm. Maybe you have restricted vision or are intellectually challenged? Take me out is one of the worst guff to grace our screens and anyone who wants to be associated with it is a 100% bell end in my book. So its a no from me.

DonnyAndVladSittingInATree · 02/02/2018 21:52

I came on to say “have you never heard of Tom Hardy??”Grin

PickAChew · 02/02/2018 21:52

Strikes me as a bit of a dickhead. Nowt to do with the accent, either.

iklboo 😂

As a fellow Northerner, in fact the next town to him and co, it very much pains me to say he is a prat. His well known Friend of “Comedy” is also one of the biggest arses walking the Earth

DilysPrice · 02/02/2018 21:57

What the hell is the deal with Tom bloody Hardy? I just don't get it at all.
I've got Mad Max in my queue on Netflix (mostly for Charlize); will I suddenly be converted if I watch it?

scampiesandchips · 02/02/2018 21:58
Hmm
Chattette · 02/02/2018 21:58

His stand up is absolute dross.

user1471517900 · 02/02/2018 21:59

Tom Hardy's hurdling technique is awful too. And he doesn't even have a distinctive (and amazing) laugh

crisscrosscranky · 02/02/2018 21:59

YABU, Sean Bean in character as Sharpe is the most perfect man.

SumThucker · 02/02/2018 22:02

Can't stand his over the top Northern accent (I also have a Northern accent, not far from Paddy's town).

iklboo · 02/02/2018 22:03

@DilysPrice - most definitely not. It's cack. Not even Hardy redeemed it for me.

No, it’s a shit film. Watch taboo instead.

Flomy · 02/02/2018 22:06

Let the knob...see the jockey.

Let the twat..see the badger.

Let the cock...see the womble.

Funny what I think of, when I wonder how I would describe Paddy McPenis

isthismummy · 02/02/2018 22:06

A woman after my own heart DilysPrice Tom Hardy is overrated on every front.

crisscrosscranky You're not wrong there. When Sean slurred "yer bastard" I could barely contain myself.

Ok, ok, a few points here.

Maybe you have restricted vision or are intellectually challenged?
No I just haven't watched Phoenix Nights for years (fh probably decades) and I mostly remember the scent and the wheelchair.

(remember the scent because was dragged up in South Yorks and there were lots of working mens' clubs there)

(but I was later gentrified in a ludicrously famous university)

(so I deffo have feet in more than one camp, here)

(and a lot of affection for P Nights)

oh Lord. I feel weak with shock. Tom Hardy. Strong. Gentle. Strangely clever and actually quite good at accents. Looks like he needs to be understood. Not afraid of acting a serial killer with tattoos. But still did a really quite nice film about a Welsh guy driving in his car on the motorway (Locke).

Nah. He just does it for me. And most of the females on this Earth. He's just that boy down the pub when you're 15 and all the advice you've ever been given goes right out of the window ...

I really disliked Paddy McGuinness and thought he was a big headed cock until I heard a recent interview where he was talking about the reality of bringing up young twins with autism. He was speaking from the heart about their struggles, and talking about his wife with such love and respect, I really felt for him. He’s gone up massively in my estimation.

I don’t find him physically appealing in the slightest though.

DonnyAndVladSittingInATree · 02/02/2018 22:14

Tom’s accents can be a bit dodgy to be fair. I hated Locke. I’ve watched it 3 times to try and love it for tom but I can’t. It’s poo.

iklboo · 02/02/2018 22:14

I had an extremely filthy dream involving me, a hotel lift and Tom Hardy. Why can't THAT ONE be the recurring one instead of the absolutely fucking boring one about me getting the wrong post?!

DonnyAndVladSittingInATree · 02/02/2018 22:15

Shock I pray for a TH dream. I’ve never had one. Sad

Deshasafraisy · 02/02/2018 22:17

Anthony Middleton is the perfect man.
