Grin Tiger Tim surely

plummymummy · 07/06/2006 22:44

Yuk to Alan Davies. Most of you have picked male celebrities. Interesting.

HarpsichordCarrier · 07/06/2006 22:47

Tiger Tim lives in the next village from me as it happens. Being a mediocrely successful tennis player can buy you a F off ginormous house in a fancy pants village, it seems

I said Dianne Abbott first but everyone ignores her Sad then I remembered I fancied Alan Davies so changed my vote like the flippertygibbet that I am.

I loved Linda Smith too (Tinker we are obviously on parallel universes Grin)

I saw her live after her first bout of chemo a few years ago and I thought she was fab.

suejonez · 07/06/2006 22:50

that should say ignoreD her...

plummymummy · 07/06/2006 22:51

Grin at flippertygibbet!

plummymummy · 07/06/2006 22:52

Mo Mowlam if she was still alive.

Tinker · 07/06/2006 22:52

Except on 4 sided graters sue Wink

Rowlers · 07/06/2006 22:53

Sue BArker, She's nice enough

suejonez · 07/06/2006 22:57

Who'd have thought it Tinker, that one day I wuld have a warm bonding moment with a complete stranger over a four sided grater.

I relatively new to this MN lark - are these surreal but pleasant moments common?

plummymummy · 07/06/2006 22:59

Oh yes - very common Wink

LeahE · 07/06/2006 23:46

Sue Barker is orange and has bad hair. Hypothetically, if one were irredeemably shallow, that might prejudice one against her.

Sorry, think Dylan Moran is an arse

TheHonArfy · 07/06/2006 23:54

yes I know not everyone is going to like Dylan. But surely NOONE can dislike Michael Palin?

monkeytrousers · 07/06/2006 23:56

Alan Shearer

Germaine Greer

TheHonArfy · 07/06/2006 23:57

nope can't be doing with Shearer
think Germaine Greer has been vetoed further down the thread (I like her myself)
