Take that was really the opposite in my youth to the "indie" etc I used to listen to, but much to my disgust I am really liking the new Take That. Especially Gary - help me?????

and my son now can laugh at me as he thinks Mumford and Sons is cool - I am officially old

YANBU, but as you are a newcomer to realising how fanciable he is you have to join the end of the very very very long queue.

I'll be fine, i've been standing in line since about 1994, so it should be my turn fairly soon.

WhitneyHouston · 23/03/2010 23:13

I fancied him when he was pasty with a bleached white high top hairdo

nion64 · 23/03/2010 23:17

Great well I'm happy to take my turn. But he really has turned into the most fanciable I think (maybe its the talent that gets me??)

Has aged really well, fancied robbie when I was younger, he hasn't aged so well has he!

heverhoney1 · 23/03/2010 23:20

Oh Undercover YOU are the one that has been behind me in the queue all this time lol

Nevergoogle · 23/03/2010 23:25

(undercover undercover here )
Yes, heverhoney1. We really should have been standing in the mark owen queue, it was moving much quicker. hey ho.

heverhoney1 · 23/03/2010 23:36

The slow moving queue is part of the attraction eh.

I think the TT member you fancy says almost everything you need to know about a woman.

UnquietDad · 23/03/2010 23:41

Same has happened to me with the equivalent for men. I used to be an indie kid and now am obsessed with Girls Aloud. It happens...

Nevergoogle · 23/03/2010 23:41

true, i admire a man who gets through the queue slowly.

nion64 · 23/03/2010 23:52

Unquietdad it happens, but it happens so quietly you don't realise until its there. They should sell warnings with age children

not fat Gary, noooooooooo

Clary · 23/03/2010 23:57

I don't think it is a good idea to fancy any of TT if you get what I mean

Tiredmumno1 · 24/03/2010 00:33

Pmsl @ ronaldmcdonald

Tiredmumno1 · 24/03/2010 00:36

And i think ronan has aged well. I am a take that fan and a huge boyzone fan

I've been in this queue for years, but whenever i near the front someone pushes in

shockers · 24/03/2010 00:53

You had me at Gary and then lost me with Ronan,
Wouldn't mind the short one that sings a lot out of West Life though.

I'm 43... oh the shame

shockers · 24/03/2010 00:58

Oh and Unquietdad... I think Kimberley is hot, in the same way I loved the blonde one out of ABBA at 10... I think we regress to understand our children ( and I'm sticking to that theory as I imaging short one out of Westlife on a horse in video once seen....)

kerstina · 24/03/2010 07:23

YABU ! but can understand it my taste in men has changed too used to really like mark the best but dont like him at all now.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 24/03/2010 09:37

YABU. His eyes are too close together.

saslou · 24/03/2010 10:46

Does anyone else think Ronan lies about his age? He's been about 26 for the last decade. I'm sure I remember him being older than me, yet I appear to have overtaken him!

Tobermory · 24/03/2010 10:54

I never post on AIBU but in this case have to... fancying Gary is very reasonable although I do prefer him silent/singing. His speaking voice has always put me off a bit.
I was always a Gary fan - the talented one and Mark was too short - but recently Howard is appearing increasingly lovely , albeit kinda hairy!

UnquietDad · 24/03/2010 10:56

All slebs knock a few years off their age, don't they? Most of them do it at the start, though, to avoid inconsistency! Which is why you get boy-bands full of supposed 16-year-olds who are all really about 20. Their management is thinking ahead to the revival tour in 15 years...

Paloma Faith and Florence are two main offenders in this regard. They both claim to be in their early 20s and yet are pretty obviously women of 30 or over.

The main thing I know about Ronan is that he had his teeth "done" and this involved having them all taken out and re-set. Until I read that I always thought it was a simple operation involving a local anaesthetic and the re-setting of one or two of them. If you look at Cheryl from about 2003, she's obviously had the same thing done!

Tobermory · 24/03/2010 11:12

Holy crap.....having all their teeth removed?!

Extreme measures to be 'beautiful'!

notsoteenagemum · 24/03/2010 11:17

YABVU- I have never liked TT since Robbie left(though he does nothing for me now)

Gaaary's soooo duuulll wheeen hee taaalks, its liike heee's iin slooooww mootiiiooon.

UnquietDad · 24/03/2010 11:22

He is somewhat lugubrious, isn't he?

Kimberley has that very measured, Yorkshire draaaaaawl but manages to make it sound dead sexy.
