meltedchocolate · 20/01/2010 20:55

Haha, YANBU, but only because they are not worth the reaction....

Maybe you just don't do it for her anymore ?

MillyR · 20/01/2010 21:01

Ewan MacGregor is Scottish!

BrahmsThirdRacket · 20/01/2010 21:03

Come on, you must get gooey over someone. It's all allowed.

pissovski · 20/01/2010 21:04

YABU

And i shall join her in gooeyness over John Barrowman

BigBadMummy · 20/01/2010 21:09

Hey, I am here you know.

Now I have picked myself up off the floor.

David Tennant tonight on NTA was just soooo hot.

Come on BruceB spill on who your fantasy gooey-person or I will tell them all about you Anne Widdecombe obsession.

dh is teasing me over Capt Jack Sparrow.
swoooon! I love an opportunity to do this

tispity · 20/01/2010 21:18

YAB VVVVVVV U re David - don't even know who the other one is

cakeywakey · 20/01/2010 21:25

It's Gary Oldman for me - just can't help myself It's just one of those things -David Tennant though, I just want to sit him down and feed him up. Toooooo skinny!

GoWithIt · 20/01/2010 21:29

YANBU. They're both wrong. Plus it's just not nice to be so lacking in decorum!

JaneS · 20/01/2010 21:29

You're not being unreasonable at all, I don't understand why people (women) do that!

GeneHuntsMistress · 20/01/2010 21:30

YANBU

This state should be reserved solely for when one DCI Hunt appears on tv

LittleMrsHappy · 20/01/2010 21:33

YANBU.

Gerard Butler on the other hand is flutter eye material

GoWithIt · 20/01/2010 21:35

I might be a bit mental (likely) but I'd be really pissed off if DH behaved like that about another woman. Equally, I wouldn't do it about a man.

GeneHuntsMistress · 20/01/2010 21:38

LittleMrsHappy oooh but only as the Phantom of the Opera

It's just eye candy. It doesn't actually mean she's interested in anyone but you.

If you're that bothered, go to the barber for a proper shave and a manicure. Wear a suit, book a restaurant and let her go all gooey over you for a change.

Hope no one minds if I 'out' myself as being a little mischievous.
