We are Barren. We are Evil, on account of having left procreating until our 30s. We are Selfish, thinking only of careers and money and cars and holidays. And lastly, we are Hags. Welcome to the BESH gin palace. Babydusters and instadiffers need not apply.

And I totally bet he'd fancy me.... Hmm

Whilst I definitely have sexy thoughts about the Batch, I agree with Evil that a lot if it is also about "he looks a right laugh". I'd be happy with popping down the pub/out for a Neal. Maybe a few A-List premieres here and there.

He genuinely seems to be a nice bloke, self-deprecating, funny and just doesn't take it all too seriously. Plus, he's happy to be photographed in the most awful clothes - including drag! There's a very funny Tumblr called What Are You Wearing Benedict which analyses his clothing (on and off set) in a very loving way. He has got dodgy dress sense, bless!

As far as "imagine shagging" goes, there's really very few, if any. There are too many mental caveats, the biggest being HOTB. But being friends, now, that's a whole different story

JethroTull · 10/05/2013 13:29

I had to Google Karl Urban. Had no idea who he might be! Benedict I sort of get. I think he'd be funny in RL but still prob a bit of a diva.

Now Rhod, he IS funny. Good accent too. I watched a programme with him once where he had to be a SAHM for a week. Was hysterical.

Daniel Craig. Hot in Bond movies. Definitely wouldn't say no.

Nokkie73 · 10/05/2013 13:31

I'm with euro and hest. I'd get on the park and ride for Rhod Gilbert and Daniel Craig. Bendysnatch does nothing for me. George Clooney and Sir Brad Fitt could also have some special time with me. As could the bloke who played the original Spartacus (no, not fucking Kirk Douglas), Clive Owen and Bradley thingy from The Hangover.

God, I am such a randy old woman.

HesterShaw · 10/05/2013 13:41

Erm....Noks, there are rumours about Clooney. I don't think he'd be that into you. No offence.

hest gasp does he wear tight t-shirts ?

JethroTull · 10/05/2013 13:49

I have to admit that Mr Beckham gets better with age & tattoos. But he'd have to be very quiet.

Grin at 'get on the park & ride'

HesterShaw · 10/05/2013 14:03

Now Beckham we all agree on, non? He's like a fine claret.

Mike Phillips, anyone?

HadALittleFaithBaby · 10/05/2013 14:40

Ew no not Becks...unless he agreed not to speak at all! Huge Ackman is the only one who'd really float my boat. Maybe Bradley Cooper...he's tasty.

evilgiraffe · 10/05/2013 15:08

Beckham is pretty, but the lack of brainpower is a huge turn off.

Rhod is very funny, but otherwise nothing special, I think. You can't go posting pictures of rugby players, though, so many of them are gorgeous. I was sad when Jason Robinson retired from internationals :(

evilgiraffe · 10/05/2013 15:10

In other news, I just had a telephone pre-op! Very exciting, and I have to go in for blood tests the week before the op. It's all looming quite close now, nice after all these years of waiting for something (anything) to happen.

TWinklyLittleStar · 10/05/2013 17:01

What op is it draf?

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 10/05/2013 17:46

See I'm pretty sure my "type" is tall, skinny and intellectual (see The Batch and Matt Smith). Funny thing is HWHNN is tall and intellectual, but not skinny. He's not fat, but he is broad shouldered and could never carry off being wirey.

Saying all that, Dave Grohl is also on my list - my bit 'o rough Grin

HesterShaw · 10/05/2013 17:56

Oh I could so do The Grohl. He seems popular with MNers - I wonder if he knows...

HadALittleFaithBaby · 10/05/2013 19:02

Ooh Sherlock from the start on Alibi now. Season link now started since you lot rave about it so much!

JethroTull · 10/05/2013 22:18

Draff I think me & Becks would get on just fine then!! Grin Brainpower has never been my strong point. Saying that SSG is very intelligent and we do alright.

Rugby players don't do it for me. I like wiry. Athletic. Hence being married to a marathon runner.

JethroTull · 10/05/2013 22:20

hest I'm fond of The Grohl too. He just seems like an all round good egg.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 10/05/2013 22:53

Did you enjoy Faith. It's a complete tour de force.

evilgiraffe · 10/05/2013 23:27

I like the middle ground - not too burly, not too skinny. HOTB has swimmer's (and now cyclist's) legs - muscular and jaw-droppingly hot. I remember seeing them for the first time aged sixteen in a PE lesson and being utterly floored, and they've only got better with time...

Anyway, I'm just back from Star Trek - SO FUCKING BRILLIANT. Pine and Quinto and Urban are perfect, and The Batch kicks ass! Hurrah! Going to see it again next weekend Grin

Twinks it's a laparoscopy to check out/remove an ovarian cyst and possibly inflated Fallopian tube. I'm not really worried, but am ever so slightly wobbly about it if I think about it too much.

HadALittleFaithBaby · 11/05/2013 02:37

I only saw to 1 hour 20 mins in and then a screaming child commanded my attention (needed to settle her and no Virgin in the bedroom). I was really enjoying it up til that point though and have it recorded. I think MSB might like it too so hopefully it's something we can watch together?

I don't really have a 'type' but MSB is on the chunky side. He is a proper blokey looking bloke - makes some people think he's tough and I have to explain he's actually quite sensitive! He's just decided to join a gym near work so knowing him he'll be leaner soon!

HadALittleFaithBaby · 11/05/2013 09:18

Oh and happy burfday Franky! :)

HesterShaw · 11/05/2013 09:25

I always thought I liked tall and dark and then I fell for MrH who's short and blond. Just shows....
