Niceglasses Shock, Neil Young is one of my heros too but he's a bit old and crusty leave my dh and kids for!!!

Tutter · 06/06/2006 19:17

nick park(e?) must go on the same NotSufficientlyFamous list as matthew pinsent?

LadySherlockofLGJ · 06/06/2006 19:18

FAT people need not apply.

Rather a sweeping statement re Fern Britton, she certainly appears to be a nice person.

PrincessPeaHead · 06/06/2006 19:19

The Queen? (God bless 'er)

Nelson Mandela

Tutter · 06/06/2006 19:19

i think we may have to overrule zippi's "too bland" re fern. don't think it qualifies as "dislikes"???

PrincessPeaHead · 06/06/2006 19:21

I didn't say I didn't like her because she was fat, I just identified her as a fat presenter. Which is undeniable! Then I asked why people like her, because I don't know her from adam and would like to know. Is she particularly kind to animals? Does she have a marvellous sense of humour? Has she had a tragic life which makes people sorry for her?

Please enlighten me.

JessaJam · 06/06/2006 19:22

The Queen!!!!!!

lilibet · 06/06/2006 19:22

She has a gorgeous brother Pph!! Grin

He goes by the name of Jasper and her dad is Tony Britton.

As I remember she got lots of praise on here for being photographed in a bikini and she one mentioned mumsnet in a favourable light in tv

Beetroot · 06/06/2006 19:23

Shock at can't stand Judi Dench. why ? please explain?

LadySherlockofLGJ · 06/06/2006 19:23

She appears to all intents and purposes to be a genuine person.

booge · 06/06/2006 19:23

Mmmmm not keen on Fern she is just to damn happy all the time, mind you if I had a Michelin * chef for a husband I'd be fat and happy too.

Tutter · 06/06/2006 19:23

nah, she's just.. y'know..nice.

like you'd be happy to have her as your mum.

JanH · 06/06/2006 19:23

Paul Merton? Jeremy Hardy?

Linda Smith!!! (dead people are allowed aren't they? Who could possibly object to lovely Linda?)

PrincessPeaHead · 06/06/2006 19:24

don't know who Tony Britton is either. I give up, put me as a neutral on Fern.

I like the queen. Her existence keeps Charles off the throne.

So what about Nelson?

Or John Cleese - what is not to like about John Cleese? Now THAT's a good one!

booge · 06/06/2006 19:25

Linda Smith got my goat when she was mean to Neil Kinnock on HIGNFY, it might have been deserved but it was ugly.

lilibet · 06/06/2006 19:27

Stealing a living Beety!!

Seen on on stage, in film, on tv and never ever been impressed with her.

The woman is always the same. She got a sodding Oscar for seven minutes work !!

lilibet · 06/06/2006 19:27

I could go with John Cleese, or Michael Palin?

How can anyone not love Michael Palin?

PrincessPeaHead · 06/06/2006 19:28

never been impressed by Judi Dench? Wow you must have high standards. Everyone who has ever worked with her appears to have been impressed speechless by her.

PrincessPeaHead · 06/06/2006 19:29

nice man, michael palin.

JanH · 06/06/2006 19:29

Nope, John Cleese is too earnest.

WelshBoris · 06/06/2006 19:29

Fern is awesome

how can you say she's bland? She has a very dirty laugh

JanH · 06/06/2006 19:30

M Palin too ubiquitous.

southeastastra · 06/06/2006 19:30

what about sid james then he has a dirty laugh

Fillyjonk · 06/06/2006 19:30

god i can't stand judi dench. she just annoys me, with her voice and sincere acting.

think nelson mandela is a somewhat...complex figure. plus I've never actually met him

and nick park is a prat.

johnny morris?
