I know that if I ever met him I would go all silly. It's not a sleb thing, I just think he's hot

YAB a little U. But I know what you mean.

I used to have a thing for Bob Flowerdew. Many years ago.

He looks like a hairy potato.

Ozziegirly · 20/11/2009 01:08

I also have a slightly secret crush on him. I think it's because he's rather earthy and real.

I admit I have worked on a small fantasy involving a milking shed.

Oh and another one involving us re-potting some plants, and him wiping away a smudge of dirt, before ravishing me in his lovely garden.

tadders · 20/11/2009 09:44

I think he's lovely and looks like he'd shag like a stoat make a fab meal for you afterwards. Laughed like a drain last night at his rabbit skin ensemble. Glossy, waxed, eyebrow plucked men do nowt for me

CJCregg · 20/11/2009 09:47

I met him once through work and he was a pompous arse. I wanted to slap him.

DorotheaPlenticlew · 20/11/2009 09:49

Ozziegirly.

YANBU -- I'm not sure whether I would or not, but I can see the appeal in theory.

MayorNaze · 20/11/2009 09:52

dh looks a bit like him crossed with eric morcambe

HFW is much more posh and serious in rl than on tv, we heard him speak at lit festival a few years ago.

BonjourIvresse · 20/11/2009 09:53

Can someone explain Jetli comment to me please?

I think HFW TV persona is nice but I suspect he's a twat in real life becuase he went to Eton, and that would leave him with an sense of entitlement that would be impossible to overcome.

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 20/11/2009 09:53

My dp looks quite similar to HFW, albeit a younger version. Similar hair (except dp's is a hell of a lot cleaner) and glasses etc

He's not very earthy though, doesn't cook and doesn't like getting his hands dirty.

Bettymum · 20/11/2009 09:54

Bob Flowerdew? That pigtail? Nooooooooooo!
I don't get the breathing through the ears thing. Is it really rude?
And oh yes, I would.

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 20/11/2009 09:56

Breathing through the ears would make it easier not to have to come up for air during er, oral activities, ladies!

NorbertDentressangle · 20/11/2009 09:57

Eurgh! YABU. His nostrils are waaaay to large.

We also saw him in a market in France a few years ago being really arsey to one of his DCs so he went right down in my estimation (I mean, celebs should always be perfect in every way and should have impeccably behaved children, shouldn't they? )

GentleOtter · 20/11/2009 09:57

I did not want to ask about the ear breathing thing either but I need to know now.

He comes over as a posh bit of rough.

wastingaway · 20/11/2009 09:58

Bettymum, back when he was on Gardener's World, when Geoff Hamilton still presented and I was a hormonal teenager.
Real men piss on their compost.

I really wouldn't now though.

Pineapplechunks · 20/11/2009 10:00

YABU.

He looks like he need a good bath and a haircut.

He looks like the kind of person who doesn't 'believe' in deodorant and therefore stinks.

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 20/11/2009 10:00

LOL I just googled a picture of HFW, ds (2) saw my screen and went "daddy?"

TheFoosa · 20/11/2009 10:01

he was in the HEAT top 20 weird crushes

Derren Brown was no 1

GentleOtter · 20/11/2009 10:02

I felt a little bit when he pulled the socks off and trampled the grapes.

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 20/11/2009 10:04

I have a weird crush on Masood Ahmed off Eastenders. I can totally understand why Jane snogged him (especially when she had Ian "bumfluff" Beale to go home to)

Stayingsunnygirl · 20/11/2009 10:13

Well - he'd be totally organsmic in bed, wouldn't he?

MayorNaze · 20/11/2009 10:13

oh gosh masood

hi and zainab are constantly at it

totalmisfit · 20/11/2009 10:24

oh no, he's someone i really really don't want to fancy but do a little bit

MintyCane · 20/11/2009 10:38

YABU

"Come of it. He looks like he is melting"

He so does !

slug · 20/11/2009 11:05

I have it on good authority (i.e. from one of the involved) that he sleeps with the runners (or at least he did before he got married, though he was engaged at the time ) I hate to disappoint MamaLazarou, but.....
