When I was about 16 I really fancied him on River Cottage. WIBU?

Or perhaps onto women.

I quite like HFW. My dm once called him a twat (in her defence my gma has just died and she was having a tough time!) because he was taking too long chatting to the cashier in co-op. My dbro said he turned round all excited thinking someone had recognised him as my dm was muttering about him. He smiled, expecting to be asked for an autograph or something and my dm scowled and said to my dbro ‘is that twat ever going to leave?’ Apparently he scuttled our fairly sharpish!

I have to wash my hair in the evening s to dry my frizzy.
I'd be well pissed if he ruined my clean hair

Wdigin2this · 25/04/2018 21:34

Weeeeell, I'm not sure, but I think I'm attracted to his cooking skills!

Tinkobell · 25/04/2018 21:36

He's a lovely guy but he's not eye candy sadly 😞 Shame cos I bet he'd cook up a fab lunch!

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 25/04/2018 21:36

Alonso maybe it would work like serum?

SchrodingersCatepillar · 25/04/2018 21:37

YANBU. I’d definitely do him.

halfwitpicker · 25/04/2018 21:38

Anyone seen park farm?

Spectacular.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 25/04/2018 21:38

Eewwwwww!

justdontevenfuckingstart · 25/04/2018 21:39

Me and my mum call him Hugh Furry Knittingwool. He's very far down on my do list tho.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 25/04/2018 21:40

Ok so, if you HAD to chose one.... John Torode OR Huge Furry Wankingstall??? Hmm

Ohyesiam · 25/04/2018 21:40

I’ve heard he’s not very nice.

MatildaTheCat · 25/04/2018 21:41

I’ve heard it wasn’t a one off (!!!) incident Grin

lottiegarbanzo · 25/04/2018 21:42

I always found him extremely personable on TV. Seemed really genuine, nice to people, interested in things. Seemed an above average chance he'd be as nice in real life.

OP did you ever see his first TV series (or two?) where he went round to people's houses who were hosting dinner parties? Some lovely, funny ones. Then the one where they ate placenta.

StopBeingNosey · 25/04/2018 21:44

It would have to be HFW over Torode. I could just imagine this face during sex. Shudder.

I thought this was about his fat fight that I'm currently watching.
I can say Hugh's never been my crush but then Russel crowe was a big 1 for me at 16 (he's only a couple of years younger than my dad!) Shock

StopBeingNosey · 25/04/2018 21:46

I also liked how cross HFW got with Morrison’s about those parsnips. I like a man with principles.

halfwitpicker · 25/04/2018 21:46

Torode isn't too bad surely

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 25/04/2018 21:46

Shudder indeed Confused

halfwitpicker · 25/04/2018 21:46

How can you get cross about parsnips?

TheVeryHungryDieter · 25/04/2018 21:47

I've seen two separate MNers admit to having had a hair job from HFW in a thread about celebrity shags a while back.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 25/04/2018 21:48

Christ I thought he was going to be dead then

I'm convinced that's why people dramatically post the 'Name Only' thread.

FourFriedChickensDryWhiteToast · 25/04/2018 21:51

Hugh Fearlessly-Eatsitall...
you do know he ate his wife's placenta don't you?

SinisterBumFacedCat · 25/04/2018 21:52

Lol! I wondered how quickly this would be mentioned on mumsnet.

He's right about WH Smith's though

TinklyLittleLaugh · 25/04/2018 21:54

I have a bit of a thing for Torode.

HFW, you just know is employing his fake posh boy charm on the peasants and despises us all in real life.
