Because I can't.

True, all true, but I still couldn't stretch to liking him. Grin

suzywong · 07/06/2006 13:12

What about my boyfriend Johnny Depp? What's not to like about him? He's a dedicated Dad and looks good in a pair of boots

southeastastra · 07/06/2006 13:18

johnny depp gets my vote how could i have forgotten him!

Patttsy · 07/06/2006 14:32

Tony Blair!

WelshBoris · 07/06/2006 14:33

oh yes my Tony wins every time

ruty · 07/06/2006 14:50

Luka [Goran Visnjic actually ] is MINE. Mine, I tell you, I fancied him in Welcome to Sarajevo, long before ER, you lot don't deserve him. Grin

Jarvis Cocker likeable definitely, yes. Any dissent on that front? Fern has become slightly irritating, I have to admit, slightly gushy. Paul Merton?

ruty · 07/06/2006 14:53

oh yes like michael palin too.

suzywong · 07/06/2006 15:10

jarvis = too gangly

LeahE · 07/06/2006 15:48

Ooh yes, Paul Merton.

We are in danger of finding an entire dinner-party's worth of people at this rate.

Pruni · 07/06/2006 15:51

It's true, I've never heard a bad word said against Johnny Depp.

oliveoil · 07/06/2006 15:53

waffling on all the time about acting

meeeee murrrrrrrrgh

suzywong · 07/06/2006 15:56

oliveoil · 07/06/2006 15:57

suzywong · 07/06/2006 15:58

SNORT!

tallmummy · 07/06/2006 16:07

What about Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall? (Although I'll admit the placenta pate (heave)incident may lose him votes)

niceglasses · 07/06/2006 16:11

Gangly? Yes, but the question wasn't 'Which sleb do we all like and isn't too gangly?' Woz it? eh?

I vote for Jarvis.

zippitippitoes · 07/06/2006 16:19

Jarvis too annoying in a DEAD POET'S SOCIETY WAY

Morrissey

niceglasses · 07/06/2006 16:20

Yeah, okay Morrisey is a national treasure, but a bit precious about it all. Jarvis has the knack of not taking himself too seriously.

JessaJam · 07/06/2006 16:23

not Jarvis sorry, responsible for bad songs.
Find Morrisey hugely annoying in an opinionated yet wet-fish kind of way! (no fish were injured in the process of being opinionated mind you!!)

(want to suggest that Justine, Carrie et al might count as famous - been on TV an' evrythink - and don't we all like them??? Or do we only like them for their website Grin )

suejonez · 07/06/2006 16:25

Morrisey!? Not unless its Neil or David Morrisey.

How about Diane Abbott?

zippitippitoes · 07/06/2006 16:28

not |Neil Morrissey as in men behaving badly yeeukk

suejonez · 07/06/2006 16:28

or Gary linneker

Kelly1978 · 07/06/2006 16:29

no one has givign a serious reason for vetoing gandhi yet Smile

Dottydot · 07/06/2006 16:29

Stockard Channing?

suejonez · 07/06/2006 16:31

Are we not trying to think of a living person (I was)?
