to find Hugh Fearnly-Whittingstall OUTRAGEOUSLY attractive?

[colditz]

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

oh bugger I forgot to take out my recently foraged wild mushrooms and dead squirrel first.

Adrian Chiles, oh dear oh dear...

Mr Chiles was far more appealing on Working Lunch when he had a bit of meat on his bones.

As for Hugh, he does have that kind of scruffy, animal attraction, much like James May

Any man that can cook like that immediately becomes deliciously attractive IMO.

I can be bought via my stomach!

WTF?! I've heard everything now!

Does he still have that Hugh F-W Junior growth thing on his face?

Well, I never thought I would see the day when "animal attraction" and James May would appear in the same sentence.

hmm, I'd probably do James May and Jezza too, not their little mate, tho.

Not sure about HFW - he looks a bit little too.

But hey, the newsnight with both David Ginola and Dara O'Briain, together on a sofa. Now that is sex on two sticks...

Please tell me you are getting Adrian Chiles mixed up with Ray Mears...

Now there is a man who could rustle up a bear.

My MIL met HF-W recently and told him that she was now a devotee of happy chickens. He ignored her and walked off!

I don't think she buys happy chickens any more.

Oh, and on the being hot front, yes YABVVVVVVVVVU!

Now that bloke who presents Market Kitchen on the other hand (not TOm Parker-Bowles, the other one) - he would SOOOO get it. Mmmmm.

MrsFlittersnoop and BellaLugosiNoir - I think we are all married to H-F-W / the same man!

DH gets mistaken for him all the time. The resemblance is quite uncanny. He even got a free round of drinks in a bar once, with the barman saying "I LOVE your show" .
DH agreed, and made off with about £30 of drinks!

Maybe we could set them to work as H-F-W lookalikes, and they could open village fetes and things?

Vinomum -it must have been one of the look-alike DHs on here that she met not the real thing

gentleotter isn't ray mears that chubby overgrown scout guy? That is truly VVVU!

I love Ray Mears. Plus if civilisation broke down he would know how to survive - you could in fact end up founding a new tribe together when almost everyone else died because they didn't know how to make canoes out of birchbark. You would feel safe with Ray.

and he was clearly putting on the extra weight deliberately, as insulation for the Northern Wilderness series that's on at the moment.

oh yes, I'm doing that too. Just in case.

One never knows when an unexpected ice-age might strike.

That is the best eat-ferrero-rochers-all-night excuse I've come up with since, erm, last Friday

Yes, that's the one.
Ray Mears is, for example, all testosterone very manly but I would not be for doing him. Give me Aragon and then we are talking.

Yes, I think Vinomum's MIL has inadvertantly told a MN'ers DH that she's a devotee of happy chickens! My DH would have given any random woman who approached him talking about chickens short shrift!

YANBU!

He's earthy, caring, a bit rough yet also a gent, is a bit of a hunter/gatherer and can also cook what he catches, it appeals to our inner cavewoman. Plus he looks like a goer

I'd much rather found a new tribe with Bear Grylls than the chubby scout Ray Mears.
Lots of running around naked with Bear around

Yeah, you'd get to stay in a nicer hotel with Bear as well

not my type. I used to work with a William Fearnley-Whittingstall. I wondered if they were related but didn't want to ask.

I rather like Diarmuid Gavin though, again, bit scruffy, so if you have your food prepared by HFW and your garden done by DG, it wouldn't be a bad life.

I think I could live with a nice hotel- better than a drafty clump of twigs any day.

Bruce Parry makes Bear look like a day-tripper
