What are runners slug ?

Ixia · 20/11/2009 11:07

YABU

I always think he looks a bit sweaty and his hair needs a good wash.

Kathyis12feethighandbites · 20/11/2009 11:08

Colditz am I to understand you watched River Cottage last night and saw him in that rabbitskin loincloth? Is that what this is about?
Because if so, all we need to do is get a rabbitskin loincloth and put it on someone, well, nicer, and you will be instantly cured.

WouldYouCouldYouWithaGoat · 20/11/2009 11:09

too earnest and i suspect he plays tedious parlour games

MintyCane · 20/11/2009 11:09

"I always think he looks a bit sweaty and his hair needs a good wash." Its because of all the breathing through his ears you know [boak]

Kathyis12feethighandbites · 20/11/2009 11:10

am finding Wouldyoucouldyou's name amusingly apposite for this thread!

MintyCane · 20/11/2009 11:11

PMSL - now I am picturing him playing tedious parlour games in a loincloth

Bettymum · 20/11/2009 11:11

Thank you for explaining the ear breathing thing
Off to google pictures of Bob Flowerdew in his younger days...

PSML at "breath through ears" Even that is not enough to make me find him attractive I do applaud his championing of free range chickens though

slug · 20/11/2009 11:27

Minty, runners are the lowly paid dogsbodies that do all the crap work on TV production.

MrsFlittersnoop · 20/11/2009 11:38

Colditz - my DH is a dead ringer for HFW! . We found a bit colour pic of him in a Sunday supplement and used to tease DS that DH was in the paper.

Nancy Banks-Smith from the Guardian once described HFW as resembling "an amiable sheep poking its head through a hedge".

No accounting for tastes eh?

MintyCane · 20/11/2009 11:39

Oh I see. EEEEWWWWW sleazy as well as sweaty.

alypaly · 20/11/2009 12:06

looks like hes been dragged through a hedge backwards and needs a good wash.

Stayingsunnygirl · 20/11/2009 12:15

I'd be willing to scrub his back - and other bits!

miumiu · 20/11/2009 12:18

I know a woman who lost her virginity to HFW. If she is now a mumsnetter, out yourself woman!!

alypaly · 20/11/2009 12:22

he loks as though he needs a good scrubs and disinfecting and a good dose of something to stop his yucky sweating

TreeTrunkThighs · 20/11/2009 12:24

You are definitely not being unreasonable.

He is my number 1 "shame shag".

Stayingsunnygirl · 20/11/2009 12:25

I'm off to have a shower now (wet muddy walk with dog) - send Hugh straight up and I'll make sure that all his special little places are clean and hygienic.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 20/11/2009 12:29

YANBU. We don't see channel four here but I remember him from very early in his career when he turfedup and cooked for people (including the famous placenta episode). He is as far away from my DH as can be imagined, I'd quite like a bit of rough.
My shame shag is Adrian Chiles. I really do come over all slippy when he comes on the one show.

PerArduaAdNauseum · 20/11/2009 12:36

Adrian Chiles? Dear God woman!

kreecherlivesupstairs · 20/11/2009 12:40

Per Ardua, should I start my own thread about the gloriously grumpy Adian? He is hot, my dh jokes about it and dd knows that her light is to be out by the time the trumpets start and that divvy bint who sits beside him starts cackling.

PerArduaAdNauseum · 20/11/2009 12:43

I don't think it's a thread you need, more urgent medical intervention

Stayingsunnygirl · 20/11/2009 12:55

Well I've had my shower and there was no sign of Hugh - so either one of you lot is meanly keeping him all to yourself, or he doesn't want to be cleaned.

And I would have been gentle with the loofah - honest!!
