YAsoooooooNBU.

I am also in love with him. to the point where DP changed his facebook photo to a pic of Gene just to make him feel as loved as Gene.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

hellymelly · 11/08/2009 23:14

He is strangely sexy,I must say!

pickyvic · 11/08/2009 23:15

yanbu!
cos i agree!

BitOfFun · 11/08/2009 23:18

It's the no-nonsense sweatiness that appeals, i think...

ElieRM · 11/08/2009 23:18

but you agree, dear ladies, not philip glenister. just gene hunt. coz philip glenister is quite posh in rl, and that just doesn't cut the mustard.

YANBU.

I'll fight you for him.

ElieRM · 11/08/2009 23:20

TAFKA- he'd love it

TAFKAtheUrbanDryad · 11/08/2009 23:21

I know he would, me and Mamazon, in a fight to the death, ish.

Phwoar.

TAFKAtheUrbanDryad · 11/08/2009 23:22

And you, Ellie, natch.

Maybe Sam Tyler could referee.

Mamazon · 11/08/2009 23:27

ooh he would love that. he'd throw some mud in.

but no. PG is not at all nice. its the Gene Genie. that macho masogony but with the tiniest hint of sensetivity that he tries to hide so much.

god im gettin all hot and bothered now just thinking about him

ElieRM · 11/08/2009 23:28

I think i may be having a stroke. he will once again be in my dreams tonight. dp thinks its unnatural, but i just can't help it.

"think i may be having a stroke"

is it very worrying that i read that as something very very naughty??

Tidey · 11/08/2009 23:34

Not only is is perfectly reasonable, it's practically compulsory. In fact, I believe that even straight men who watch it fall in love a tiny bit with the Gene Genie.

ElieRM · 11/08/2009 23:35

teeheehee! it is not worrying, although i must say no naughtiness was intended!

OP posts:
pickyvic · 11/08/2009 23:41

yep....its the gene genie for me, was so pissed off to see philip glenister in that bloody stupid demons trying to do a very bad american accent....spoilt it for me that did!

Mamazon · 11/08/2009 23:43

Tidey i think you may be right.
Dp would quote him constantly. i think if he could be anyone for a day he'd be hard pushed to decide between Gene and Elvis

GeneHunt · 11/08/2009 23:45

Give yourselves over to pleasure ladies.

Tidey · 11/08/2009 23:46

I will ask DP tomorrow if he found himself having a bit of a man-crush watching it and report back

BitOfFun · 11/08/2009 23:52

Philip Glenister is way too posh. I've heard a radio advert where he ponces on about golf. Put me right off.

ElieRM · 12/08/2009 12:16

he ponces on in the life on mars dvd extras as well. and isn;t wearing the camel coat. which is also part of his appeal.

OP posts:
Mamazon · 12/08/2009 12:24

mmm.

See Dp was surprised to see that it was created by a woman but not me. It was obvious. no man could have created just that right mix of macho sexist pig with deep rooted senseitivity and well hidden romance.

and the chemistry between him and that po faced misog who stole my place just couldn't have come from a male brain

anothercoldcupoftea · 12/08/2009 12:26

Ooo, you've just reminded me of a rather nice dream I had when I was pregnant

oh, be still my beating heart. far be it from me to cause any hysteria, but i've just remembered the life on mars episode when he's in his vest.
oh my stars.

oi oi girls get in the queue! he is mine all mine- i even have to keep pics up of him at my desk at work to get me through the day (albeit slightly flushed at times looking at it and thinking these thoughts......).

let me tell you though he makes a better lover than a husband
