I told my friend about my crush on Postman Pat and she suggested he was gay. AIBU or is she?

[Tben]

I confessed to a friend that I had a bit of a crush on Postman Pat. He’s not the most conventionally attractive man, but he has a calming way about him, and is clearly a capable problem solver and provider. He’ll also have a good public sector pension, and security is a big plus for me.

I mentioned this to a friend and she said I had “no chance”. She said Pat was a middle-aged single man with a cat, and I should “read between the lines”.

AIBU or is my friend just jealous?

MN Hall of Fame 🖼️ for this thread! OP not worthy. Also pmsl 🤣

I preferred scooby doo

This comment wins the internets!

So now you’re prepared to be a home wrecker?! 😆

He is married with a son called Julian.

I wonder what Norman Price from Fireman Sam is doing now. No doubt he’s done time at some point.

Anyone else have a bit of a thing for Monkey back in the day? 🥋

YABU for crushing on him.
Problem solver?? He causes the problems then steps in as a fake hero!

Slightly off topic, but I love Postman Pat's Birthday episode where he and Miss Hubbard drink 'Fruit juice' together, and she gets hiccups and goes all giggly.

For what it's worth, I've always believed Miss Hubbard to be lesbian, but never Mrs Goggins as some seem to think.

Still though...now you know you can't take this any further, you have to forget about this crush. You would get hell on here if you put yourself out to him, think about his poor wife and child for goodness sake. You dont want to be that woman!!!

Besides, if she ever found out she would probably paper cut you to death.

Ah pigsy🐷 loved the programme didn't fancy any of them..methinks you were a strange kid😁

Classic case of limerance Flannelfeet.

Postman pat is married and has a son julian his wife is called sara who works in the station cafe.

When I was 5, and I'm 61 now, I was SO IN LOVE with Scott from Thunderbirds!

I thought he was the most gorgeous man EVER, and I wanted desperately to marry him!

I worried myself silly about him when he got into dangerous situations, cried for him, everything!

Then one day I saw a wire attached to him and realised he's a puppet!

I still have a crush on him to this day!

He Man ?? No way . How any could fancy him with his Richard the Third blond hair bob . Skeletor , now that's the one . Bit annoying with the raspy voice and gloomy demeanor but I reckon he's a great shag .

This thread is fantastic!!!

You could be blindsided about these things. I never expected the same from Tinky Winky but it is what it is.

Apologies if someone's already pointed it out, CBA to read the entire thread first...

ALL the kids in Greendale look like him!

I always assumed Tinky Winky had a drink problem, not sure why. Maybe just general demeanour.

So Tinky Winky liked a drinkie?

According to some people, he was also partial to a winkie...

Epic thread, thanks for all the laughs 👏🏻

He-Man: No, the hairstyle is unacceptable and he also doesn’t seem to have any body hair which is very off-putting for me.

I can’t believe nobody has yet mentioned the fox in the lead role of the Disney Robin Hood that came out sometime in the 70s. He absolutely was the fox 😍

I fully agree. Fox Robin Hood was very rakish.

He-Man looks like he'd be a tedious bore. And what was with the pink jerkin preferred by Prince Adam? Where the hell did he get leather that colour?!

There was a great Mitchell and Webb radio sketch a few years ago - Robert Webb was He-Man/Adam going to his GP with back spasms from holding aloft the Sword of Greyskull too often. After that he was going to the vet to get Battlecat spayed.

I wouldn't have minded a few stolen hours in the company of Mendoza off of Mysterious Cities of Gold.

Was he now? Probably a bit of stinkie as well then.
