Now that Dancing on Ice has finished, I can no longer spend my Saturday nights swooning over Kyran Bracken in his figure-hugging lycra.

Who should I be crushin' on next?

Suggestions and/or photos welcome.

― C J, Monday, 19 March 2007 14:53 (eighteen years ago)

I think, somewhat terrifyingly, that I'm starting to crush on Lemmy.

http://www.starfarer.net/galleryb/lp4dblem.jpg

This is definitely a crush of shame, and not reccomended for others.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 19 March 2007 14:55 (eighteen years ago)

It's okay Kate, Kyran was sort of a crush of shame (esp when he decided to shave off his chest hair to be a Better Skater)

http://dancingonice.itv.com/uploads/images/1173694862125_0.872394931060065.jpg


My previous crushes of shame have included Alistair Macgowan and Russell Brand, so who am I to judge you + Lemmy?? :)

― C J, Monday, 19 March 2007 15:02 (eighteen years ago)

Kyran Bracken! Nooooooooooooo, CJ!

― Dr.C, Monday, 19 March 2007 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

Aww, but he has such a cute smile!


I require new crush suggestions, asap.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 08:31 (eighteen years ago)

But he's an English Rugby Player, CJ!

I will try and find someone more suitable for you. I am assuming that it has to be someone on the telly right now.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:23 (eighteen years ago)

Party Animals (BBC2 Wednesday - more later) has Patrick Baladi :

http://www.bbcprograms.com/pbs/catalog/THE_OFFICE/s2%205.jpg

And Andrew Buchan :

http://www.rada.org/grad05/buc.jpg



― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:28 (eighteen years ago)

He's still a rugby player though. Ex-rugby player at that. And he didn't even play in my favourite position. See how I am prepared to make compromises w/r/t crushes?

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:28 (eighteen years ago)

Frank Lampard. He could have done a Cantona on the drunken Spurs punter but nobly turned his head the other way, just after the stewards piled in.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:28 (eighteen years ago)

Baladi - no. He looks a bit poncey.
Buchan - no. He looks a bit young.

Frank Lampard doesn't do anything for me, either.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:32 (eighteen years ago)

Of course there's John Simm or Philip Glenister from Life On Mars :

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/59/Sam_gene_1.jpg/250px-Sam_gene_1.jpg

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:35 (eighteen years ago)

No number eight, no credibility :)

I think you should crush on Rex.

― Matt, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:36 (eighteen years ago)

Matt remembers my weakness for number eights :)

I'd happily crush on Rex, but he's not around any more, is he?

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:37 (eighteen years ago)

And he didn't even play in my favourite position

Which is? Tell me and I will find you a hott crush to fit the bill. As long as it's not a prop - there are no hott props.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:37 (eighteen years ago)

I have a well-documented weakness for number eights.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:40 (eighteen years ago)

oh x-post! Number 8! Erm - that's my position!! Or was.... (:

Anyway, that means....France's lovely Sebastian Chabal :

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:43 (eighteen years ago)

Mine too. Which is presumably why I remembered.

― Matt, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:44 (eighteen years ago)

Justin Timberlake is number eight in the hit parade this week!

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:44 (eighteen years ago)

I don't like his knees.


Number 8, eh Dr? OH NO!

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:47 (eighteen years ago)

Rupert Penry-Jones (formerly of Spooks) is coming up one of the ITV Jane Austen's. I don't know which one off the top of my head, but here he is ....

http://www.probertencyclopaedia.com/j/Rupert%20Penry-Jones.jpg

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:55 (eighteen years ago)

That Mansfield Park on Sunday was atrocious. Billie and her Demon King eyebrows, indeed.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:56 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, CJ. A NUMBER EIGHT!

Oh, if you fancy Rupert P-J above, you'll have to fight Mrs. Dr. C for him. Just thought I'd mention that!

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:57 (eighteen years ago)

Billie and her caterpillar eyebrows were seriously miscast in Mansfield Park.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 09:59 (eighteen years ago)

No, s'okay, she can have him. His nose is wrong.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:00 (eighteen years ago)

Haven't watched Mansfield Park yet. Not a great cast though at first sight.

We're not doing very well are we.

Current Wales number 8, Ryan Jones?

http://www.ospreysrugby.com/cms/news/167.jpg

Don't worry if he's nobbut a lad - look at his cheeky grin! Can't vouch for his knees though.



― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:09 (eighteen years ago)

No, we're not doing very well. I'm not even sure what it is which turns 'meh' into a 'phwoar' for me, either. There's nothing wrong with any of the lads in these pictures, they're all perfectly fine, but they're just not doing it for me.

I shall have to be crush-less.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:16 (eighteen years ago)

Number eight in the current album chart is, unhelpfully, Dolly Parton.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:23 (eighteen years ago)

We can't have that. Will give it more thought.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:23 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, that'll do then.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:23 (eighteen years ago)

(xpost to Marcello!)

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:24 (eighteen years ago)

May I digress and mention a couple of my current crushes?

Party Animals has Clemency Burton-Hill hott

and Shelley Conn [Removed Illegal Link]

But there's something about hard-drinking MP Jo Porter, played by the lovely Raquel Cassidy, that makes me crazy :

http://www.hamiltonhodell.co.uk/uploads/images/1096904839212_0.5251433191012175.jpg

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:33 (eighteen years ago)

Well.... let's try Shelley Conn again (oh goodness!).

[link almost too hott]http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/partyanimals/ashika_chandiramani.shtml[/image]

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:35 (eighteen years ago)

[Removed Illegal Link]

Gah!

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:36 (eighteen years ago)

I don't have crushes any more.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:38 (eighteen years ago)

Please Work

Off the hottness-scale hottness.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:38 (eighteen years ago)

Oh man, if this is the new Crush of Shame thread, I can admit it all here:

http://members.iinet.net.au/~michaelbolger/mp3/lemmy.jpg

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:41 (eighteen years ago)

One of the problems of going without telly is that you can no longer crush on blokes off the telly.

I have a crush on all the silver foxes at the pub in Ladbroke Grove the other night, too.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:42 (eighteen years ago)

You've outed your lemmy crush at the top of thhis thread already, Kate!

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:44 (eighteen years ago)

I know. I didn't mean admit, I meant guuuussssshhhhhhh...

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:44 (eighteen years ago)

Crushing on blokes on the telly is so lovely, because there's absolutely no danger of engineering a way to meet them. So safe.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:45 (eighteen years ago)

None of mine are crushes of shame, just crushes.

Amita Dhiri, still sexy and stern in This Life+10.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/images/being_april_nikshita.jpg

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:50 (eighteen years ago)

Crushing on blokes who were at their most attractive 30 years ago is really safe, because they end up turning into this... and I ain't hitting that!

http://www.workhardpr.com/Motorhead/LemmyLive.jpg

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:51 (eighteen years ago)

**I have a crush on all the silver foxes at the pub in Ladbroke Grove the other night, too**

You didn't say who it was who sat down opposite you! I won't tell.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:52 (eighteen years ago)

Whoa, that Lemmy is a bit big. And where is his TACHE?!?!? It's all about the Civil War General Mutton-Tache.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:52 (eighteen years ago)

I find it interesting how all your crushes are quite different, Dr C.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:53 (eighteen years ago)

I don't know who it was that sat down opposite me! He left and I didn't see him again!

Actually, there were two major silver foxes. The one who was sitting opposite me looked almost exactly like the Master of the Hunt from the Socks Hunt last year, except he was wearing combats and a t-shirt, instead of hunting gear. The other dude was really tall with long, silver hair and a hawk-like nose.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 10:56 (eighteen years ago)

Was it Lucius Malfoy?

http://www.harrypotterforseekers.com/images/sym_lucius.jpg

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:10 (eighteen years ago)

No, that was the scary dude with no eyebrows and a nazi hat sitting by the bar.

This dude looked more like the Wrath of Khan.

http://www.briansdriveintheater.com/beefcake/ricardomontalban/ricardomontalban9.jpg

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:13 (eighteen years ago)

As I said, I was very drunk. Never try to keep up with Ed on pints!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:14 (eighteen years ago)

I find it interesting how all your crushes are quite different, Dr C

Oh? Do you think so? All total hottness though, I think. Maybe they all have different strengths - a bookish evening in bed with Clemency appeals greatly (a First in English from Cambridge - that's hott). Being told off by Amita would be nice. Shelley looks like she would be kind and friendly[strike]in bed[strike] But perhaps an evening in the pub, followed by erm....stuff, with Raquel would be best.

Kate - I don't recognize the first one, but the second one we call 'Nick Lowe'. I don't know who he is, but have seen him around before.




― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:20 (eighteen years ago)

Nick Lowe of Nick Lowe fame? I met him once, and discovered that he doesn't really like the sound of breaking glass at all.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:22 (eighteen years ago)

How many stitches did he require?

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:22 (eighteen years ago)

x-post Oh the Nazi hat guy was fantastic! Mrs. Bassplayer kept saying to me 'I really want to go and talk to him, I bet he's got some tales'.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:23 (eighteen years ago)

Dude that sat opposite me looked just like this:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/85/246352631_8148c59e3a.jpg

...but in civilian clothes. And he had little wire rimmed reading glasses, too. He nicked the other paper. The Guardian, I think. I only got the Times.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:23 (eighteen years ago)

I think it's admirable to find such differing 'types' so crushable. It's a good thing! I'm horribly shallow and predictable in what I find attractive.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:24 (eighteen years ago)

Eyebrowless Nazi hat dude was very friendly! He was chatting to everyone! I was too scared to talk to him. I liked his cloak-thing with the fringes. (Not a cloak! The robes of a psychedelic monk!)

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:24 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, that Nick Lowe! Cor - he's a hero of mine. I'm impressed!

http://www.guypetersreviews.com/images/nickloweintro.jpg

Yes, Kate - I know the hair and nose are wrong, but it's just what we call him.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:26 (eighteen years ago)

This dude had a much pointier nose. It's all about the nose.

My mum now thinks that I should find a much older dude who would make me his second or third wife. Argh! Must stop listening to her!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:28 (eighteen years ago)

That's not such a bad idea, Kate.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:29 (eighteen years ago)

I don't believe in bigamy!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:30 (eighteen years ago)

That's big of you!

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:30 (eighteen years ago)

No, seriously, an older divorced dude who's already had the edges knocked off him might be good.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:32 (eighteen years ago)

x-post. Oh HIM. He was excellent! Don't know him though.

[Removed Illegal Image]

I'm sure you're not, CJ, and we will find you a crush.

For now though, I have to attend to other matters. Also I realise that I have possibly gone on a bit about my crushes.

I am also guilty of breaking this rool :

because there's absolutely no danger of engineering a way to meet them. So safe

Because I actually have met 2 of them! I ought to behave.

See you later.


― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:34 (eighteen years ago)

I did find it really comforting, though, that here were all these aging punks and Ladbroke Grove hippies who had managed to hold on to their independence. It's really nice, kind of in counterpoint with me and and my aging hipster friends moaning about growing up and getting mortgages and pensions and all that and realising that you don't have to be a clone, that you can keep your countercultural interests and your individuality.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:34 (eighteen years ago)

Problem is, CJ, how do I find one of these without breaking up their first or second marriage? That's something I'll never ever do, having seen the damage it did my family.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:39 (eighteen years ago)

Oh no, you mustn't break up anyone else's relationships! Ack, no.

Just be on the look out for one who is already divorced, who's moved on enough to be ready for a new relationship. There must be stacks of them out there!

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:41 (eighteen years ago)

They probably all want skinny 25 year old bimbos, too, just like the men mine own age. :-(

Bah, this is depressing. Back to the crushing!

http://www.marmalade-skies.co.uk/hawkwind1stlpad.jpg

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:43 (eighteen years ago)

Hey Doc, I've been in Cl3m3ncy's bedroom :) Did you know she's a mad Arsenal fan, a declared conservative (she wrote a newspaper column about why she'd be voting for them), and she must be, ooh, all of 25?

― Mark C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:51 (eighteen years ago)

Dr C has previously admitted to voting Tory on ILE.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:55 (eighteen years ago)

I heard she was a footie fan! I hope you behaved yerself, Mark, in her boudoir. 25? Too young then for me and my greying hair.

Right I AM going now.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:55 (eighteen years ago)

I thought you'd gone already. How can we talk about you while you're still here??

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:58 (eighteen years ago)

Hey - I voted TORY in a local council election once because the Tories have massively increased the amount of recycling in my Borough when they were in, and had plans to increase it further. That's the only time I have voted Tory, but I said on the same thread IIRC that I couldn't rule out voting for them again. Just so you know.

Gotta work now.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 11:59 (eighteen years ago)

You can talk about me now! Go on, let rip!

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 12:00 (eighteen years ago)

Can't think of anything to say now.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 12:02 (eighteen years ago)

We could talk about his guitars! I totally have a crush on his jazzmaster, but my jazzmaster is jealous.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 12:04 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think I've ever had a crush on an inanimate object.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 12:07 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, I have crushes on guitars all the time. But they're hardly inanimate, are they?

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 12:08 (eighteen years ago)

There speaks a true musician :)

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 12:10 (eighteen years ago)

He's gonna be *so* disappointed when he comes back after lunch and finds out that we've said *nothing* scandalous about him. Quick! Think of something!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 13:23 (eighteen years ago)

I don't know any scandal about Dr C., and even if I did I wouldn't post it on tinternet. I wish he'd hurry up and come back though, he's supposed to be deciding for me who my next crush is going to be now that the lovely Kyran Bracken is off our screens.

I have just learned that Kyran was going commando while doing that lycra-clad skating, and I've gone all feak and weeble at the thought.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 13:31 (eighteen years ago)

Hrmmm, not to put thoughts in your head or anything, but if he shaved his chest for better aerodynamics in lyrcra, did he shave anything else for ease of going commando?

Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew!Eeewwww!!!

Must cleanse thought with dirty Lemmies...

http://www.starfarer.net/cox_hwfiles4/blglemmy.jpg

Awww, he is concentrating so hard on his bass-playing.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 13:35 (eighteen years ago)

did he shave anything else for ease of going commando?

Probably not. I expect he needed some kind of cushioning to protect his bits. HOW AM I GOING TO GET ANY WORK DONE THIS AFTERNOON NOW I AM THINKING ABOUT THIS??

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 13:39 (eighteen years ago)

Want to give him a bath. And steal his amp.

http://www.starfarer.net/galleryu/lem972.jpg

Now THAT is more like the muttonchops...

http://www.starfarer.net/galleryu/lemmy505.jpg

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 13:39 (eighteen years ago)

Lemmy looks nice in that big pic upthread. I don't think I've ever seen him without his tache before.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 13:41 (eighteen years ago)

Now I'm going to interrupt this Lemfest to bring you some GOGGLES PR0N!!!

Party Animals (BBC2 Wednesday - more later) has Patrick Baladi

Last episode this week, though, so no good anyway.

My current crush includes about half the cast of Rome. Particularly nu-Octavian. Rowr.

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:20 (eighteen years ago)

Why does the bloke in goggles on the left remind me of the 118-118 adverts?

Cold Case new series on thursday. Lily Rush mmmmmmmmmmm........ C J, I know this doesn't help you. I'm loathe to suggest things, though; I have a running conversation with a friend about blokes I think she might find attractive and I'm always WRONG. Just to prove it: Gary Dourdan. You see?

― peteR, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:32 (eighteen years ago)

The one on the *left*? Bob Calvert? He's the only member of Hawkwind that *doesn't* have a 118-118 mustache!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:34 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, I dunno. He's rather cute.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:34 (eighteen years ago)

(Incidentally, why on earth did 118-118 choose to caricature David Bedford in the first place?? I do not understand)

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:35 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry: left/right not-knowing-which-from-which nightmare: I meant your other left.

― peteR, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:36 (eighteen years ago)

Do you assume that people are standing behind the computer screen then, Pete?

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:37 (eighteen years ago)

Brock is too blond to be a 118 dude.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:38 (eighteen years ago)

Just checkin' in briefly - cor you missed your chance to gossip about me, didn't you? I will avert my eyes from the talk of Mr. Bracken and shaving - dearie me!

Anyway I am still thinking about who might be the lucky candidates for CJ's next crush. Will be back with a few candidates soon. I was wondering - do you tell Mr. Unruly who your crushes are? Mine are always out in the open and so are Mrs. Dr. C's (Monty Don! FFS!). It provides a certain amount of hilarity, but then, for what do we live but to make sport for our partners, and to laugh at them in turn?

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:41 (eighteen years ago)

C J: I have problems with right/left. When I'm driving, directions are "this way" or "that way". Actually I did this on the "What do you look like thread", too, and was too ashamed to admit it. I think I'm partially dyslexic. Or something.

(Really, you're right, though. It's getting harder for people to stand inside the box with the advent of flat screens, too. I feel sorry for them).

― peteR, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:41 (eighteen years ago)

PeteR, my mum used to have the same problem - giving directions to her while driving was a nightmare. Hence why I just started saying "your way/my way" instead of left and right.

do you tell Mr. Unruly who your crushes are? Mine are always out in the open and so are Mrs. Dr. C's (Monty Don! FFS!). It provides a certain amount of hilarity, but then, for what do we live but to make sport for our partners, and to laugh at them in turn?

I always think that this is really healthy in a relationship - it's the hiding/jealousy issues that are the problem. My scary psychotic abusive ex used to get jealous of crushes off the telly. While with Joe, he would actually buy Busted records for me, and I would be all "Hey! Quick! Beyonce/that advert with all the arses/her off the BBC news is on the telly!" and kind of laugh/perve over it together.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:44 (eighteen years ago)

for what do we live but to make sport for our partners, and to laugh at them in turn?

THIS IS HOW THE LIVONIAN WAR STARTED

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:51 (eighteen years ago)

Easy way to remember which is left is to stretch your hands out in front of you - your thumb and forefinger on your left hand make the shape of a letter 'L'.

Mr Unruly knows all about my TV crushes, and thinks they're rather sweet. He even facilitates them, by recording a programme I'd otherwise miss, or buying me tickets for me and a girlfriend to go and see Robbie Williams at Milton Keynes when I had a temporary crush on him. We play those games about 'which of the guys/girls in Friends would you shag' too, but it's only telly and therefore safe fantasy. That's why I wouldn't allow myself to get a crush on anyone I could have access to in real life, because that wouldn't be fair to anyone ..... but someone to have a bit of a harmless daydream about is GRATE.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:53 (eighteen years ago)

Oh that's good! Thing is - if you meet one IRL a bucket of cold water is poured over any crush-type nonsense, no matter how nice they are. Because it's in real life and you have to behave! Also often if it's an actor, it's the character you're crushing on, and they're not who you meet.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:05 (eighteen years ago)

'which of the guys/girls in Friends would you shag'

Boringly, Rachel. But I'd prefer Helen Baxendale.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:16 (eighteen years ago)

Boringly, I do Ross.

Or Fun Bobby.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:19 (eighteen years ago)

C J: thankyou! I have a feeling that may help quite a lot.

I shall shut up about this now and let you get on with your crushing.

― peteR, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:19 (eighteen years ago)

Oh no, please don't shut up. I need banter to distract me from the fact I have no crushes.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:21 (eighteen years ago)

For a second there I thought you wrote "I need Bunter to distract me"...that'll be Paddy Kirk Out Of Emmerdale then.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:23 (eighteen years ago)

I've been trying to give you some of mine, CJ, but we just don't have the same taste in crush.

I'm so annoyed by something stupid at the moment that I need to go back and look at the crush pictures and hope it gets better.

I need banter to distract me from the fact I have no crushes

Happy to help. Dr. C made me think: when you crush, is it just on looks, or does the character being played have anything to do with it? For example, if someone you really really fancy lookswise is playing the character of an absolute arse, does that affect how attractive you find them? Or can you forgive such character traits in make-believe people?

I have a meeting now but I feel I should offer a couple of candidates :

Mark Strong will be on TV soon in ITV's repeat of Emma

Not a great picture.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:35 (eighteen years ago)

Who is this?!?!? He looks bad tempered and dirty, therefore ripe for crushing on by me!

Particularly nu-Octavian

Is that the one who was the rubbish one-armed kid in Master and Commander ;)

― kv_nol, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:42 (eighteen years ago)

Mister Monkey will sometimes make fun of me when I have a crush, which can sometimes be a bit annoying, so I usually don't tell him about them until we've finished watching whoever it was I was crushing on, because otherwise it's all "oh, you loooove him. Kiss kiss," and I can't hear the dialogue.

I went off Richard Armitage when he married the Vicar of Dibley.

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:42 (eighteen years ago)

No, it's purely on looks alone.

Told you I was shallow.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:46 (eighteen years ago)

Is that the one who was the rubbish one-armed kid in Master and Commander ;)

Argh! Belay that talk!

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:46 (eighteen years ago)

Richard Armitage is good looking all right, but I feel no feelings of crush for him. I wonder what the vital crush ingredient is? I'm beginning to think there must be one. Mischieviously twinkly eyes, maybe?

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:48 (eighteen years ago)

What's made you annoyed, Kate?

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:50 (eighteen years ago)

Too much sugar and stupid work crap. Bah! I have actually just asked my boss AGAIN to have this responsibility taken off me.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:51 (eighteen years ago)

I might possibly opt for Nathaniel Parker, who plays that posh pleeceman.

http://www.radiohound.com/MaleCelebs/pics/nathanielparker.jpg

but I'm not sure ....

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:53 (eighteen years ago)

Maybe you should email your requests to your boss, Kate. So you have a record of asking for these changes.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:54 (eighteen years ago)

TV is supposed to be shallow. Maybe I get a little too involved.

I've thought (and been asked) many a time about what transforms good looking into ROWR, and each time I've come to the conclusion that it's impossible to say. They just have to Do It For You (TM) as a package.

What about the guy in the Dresden Files? Not a great main picture (he looks a bit like Austin Healey) but have a look around here.

― peteR, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:57 (eighteen years ago)

is it just on looks, or does the character being played have anything to do with it?

Sometimes looks, sometimes a mixture of looks and character. Viggo Mortenson does nothing for me. Aragorn, on the other hand, does, you know, something. For me. Like.

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 15:59 (eighteen years ago)

Much different in looks between LOTR and, say, A History of Violence, though.

― peteR, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:01 (eighteen years ago)

Also, the BBC has started trailing Dr. Who again, so it will soon be time for that. Sigh.

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:01 (eighteen years ago)

He does look a bit like Austin Healey, and therefore also a bit like the awful Robson Green, so no crush there.

I'm fascinated by the whole "They Just Have To Do It For You (TM)" thing. Which is why I was surprised by how diverse the women were on whom Dr C was a-crushin'. There must be some common denominator of what's floating the boat - I'm coming to the conclusion that it's the eyes wot do it for me. Hmm.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:02 (eighteen years ago)

I can't crush on David Tennant, he's too wee.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:02 (eighteen years ago)

Sometimes looks, sometimes a mixture of looks and character. Viggo Mortenson does nothing for me. Aragorn, on the other hand, does, you know, something. For me. Like.

Yeah, I totally understand - this is like David Tennant vs. Doctor Who (or was it the other way around? Fancying Doctor Who is WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!)

This is why it's better to crush on musicians.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:03 (eighteen years ago)

Eyes I think are v.important. Look at Ms Cassidy's eyes upthread! Oh Lord! I have an amusing tale re: IRL v. in-character, but I supposed to be in a meeting. Perhaps later.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:08 (eighteen years ago)

Tease. You and your annoying work ethic.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:09 (eighteen years ago)

also a bit like the awful Robson Green

That's true. I'll keep thinking. I used to think it was the eyes that did it for me, and I suppose mostly it is, but there are actresses etc with very lovely eyes that I just think are attractive, and some of whom I don't even think that. Hence my hypothesis that it's a strange combination of lots of stuff, which is nigh on impossible to pin down (my crushes are, like Dr. C.'s, hugely varied).

So next question - has a body ever swung it for you? i.e. has there been anyone with whom you've felt relative ambivalence until shirt etc has come off?

― peteR, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:10 (eighteen years ago)

Other way around, actually. I've thought someone was rowr until their shirt came off, and I went cold on them i.e. Sawyer in Lost who was all cute with his floppy hair and dimpled cheeks, but then turned out to have these weirdly sloping shoulders which just put me off. And tattoos are a bit of a turn-off for me, hence I have gone off Robbie. And unless Kyran lets his chest (and whatever other) hair grown back, I shan't me giving him the benefit of my long distance affection any more.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:13 (eighteen years ago)

i.e. has there been anyone with whom you've felt relative ambivalence until shirt etc has come off?

Many women of my acquaintance have displayed a lot more interest in Daniel Craig since he started taking his shirt off in earnest. I've always liked him as an actor, but he's never done anything for me in the swoon department.

Is Max Out Of EastEnders the least sexy man who has ever lived?

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:18 (eighteen years ago)

Ah, here's Octavian. (hopefully. I am no good at posting images). I believe his name is Simon something or other.

http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/23/41/69f.jpg

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:19 (eighteen years ago)

Possibly.

Or Joe Pasquale.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:19 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, now, see ....... Octavian, he's got CREEPY EYES.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:20 (eighteen years ago)

I've said it before, I'll say it again - it's the nose for me. Also, in characters, that sort of sense of being a maverick, a lone wolf, that whole "I don't actually give a FUCK what you think about me" attitude - see Lemmy, Captain Anderson, etc.. Especially if conbined with a sort of bumbling, shambolic appearance/demeanor that hides a really sharp intellect - Boris Johnson, maybe even Columbo (I should so crush on Columbo), Dylan Moran, etc.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:20 (eighteen years ago)

Is Max Out Of EastEnders the least sexy man who has ever lived?

I take it you mean least sexy who's obviously supposed to be sexy in some way. Because in a show with Phil Mitchell, he'd have a long way to go to be least sexy. At least he's not bright red most of the time.

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:21 (eighteen years ago)

C J, I wasn't expecting that at all, although I know what you mean about Sawyer's shoulders. Interestingly, Kate Austen's shoulders are the one of the two things that let her down, along with worrying lack of arse. Facially, though, she turns my heart to water. Amazing. What do you think of Jack? I'm assuming you don't crush or you'd have mentioned it, but he would be someone else quite high up in my list of people-who-I-wouldn't-mind-looking-like. And which would you prefer? pre- or post-crash Jack? (generic clean-cut/scruffy point, there).

accentmonkey - I thought he was most attractive in the DJ. To the point, in fact, that I have since bought the Albert Thurston braces. Ahem ;)

― peteR, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:22 (eighteen years ago)

The "totally built" physique does nothing for me - in fact, often the reverse. I far prefer the "99lb weakling with a bit of a belly" look the best.

Oh, and floppy hair. I cannot stand short hair, that is the quickest way to get me to lose interest in someone - have them cut their hair off.

Though if someone *is* going to get nekkid in a shower scene or whatever, I'd much rather see buttocks than chest. Chest - ew, boring. Nekkid buttocks - err, HELLO!!! Ewan MacGreggor and Gary Oldman are kings of the buttflash.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:23 (eighteen years ago)

Kate, Dylan Moran is FNNNNNNNNN BRILLIANT.

― peteR, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:23 (eighteen years ago)

Octavian dude has totally creepy eyes, I'm not digging him at all.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:23 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, now, see ....... Octavian, he's got CREEPY EYES.

Yes he has. He looks like he would kill you for sixpence. I think i get a thrill out of that.

Okay, really time to go now. I feel a bit Regency all of a sudden.

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:24 (eighteen years ago)

(accentmonkey xpost):

Yes, Phil Mitchell's really gone to seed since his debut in the film Babe.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:24 (eighteen years ago)

On paper, Jack has the classic good looks, yet he leaves me cold - not just because of the way his character is played, and I have no particular clean-cut/scuffy preference, but there's just something missing when you look at him. I can't imagine him being terribly passionate, somehow.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:26 (eighteen years ago)

On the other hand, Kate Austen is pretty high up on my list of people I wouldn't mind looking like, arse or no arse.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:28 (eighteen years ago)

SCRUFFY SCRUFFY SCRUFFY.

I totally cannot stand clean cut. Again, see the short hair thing.

Creepy eyes bloke doesn't look like he'd cut you for sixpence, he looks like ICE BLUE LASERS WILL SHOOT OUT OF HIS EYES AS HE PARALYSES YOU AND TAKES YOU BACK TO BREED WITH THE LIZARD MASTER RACE or, er, something.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:29 (eighteen years ago)

Sometimes I lust after a body, but can't stand their head (i.e. Luis Figo). This crushing thing is damned complicated.

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:30 (eighteen years ago)

CJ, isn't it about time you posted another photo?

― Mark C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:31 (eighteen years ago)

Not really, no :)

― C J, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:31 (eighteen years ago)

I thought he was most attractive in the DJ.

He was okay, but he's no Cary Grant. He's got too much of a hurler's arse for my taste now. Too pumped up.

Okay, I can't sell anyone on Octavian. What about Pullo?

Aw, poor Simon thingy. I'm sure he's lovely. It's also funny to look at him in hi-def, because you can see exactly how far up his face he shaves, because he's got little fuzzy hair the rest of the way up. CUET.

Here he is again, not sucking the life out of everyone around him.

http://static.twoday.net/hothothot/images/simon.jpg

Hmm, I guess his eyes are a bit creepy. Still, never mind. There's always Bettany. He has kind eyes. Sometimes.

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:37 (eighteen years ago)

Oh wait, he was Bingley in P&P? OK, he was quite sweet and bumblingly cute in that, but not as horn-worthy as Darcy because, well, Darcy is just Darcy, isn't he? The original phwooooaar. He is much cuter with more hair, see? Tousely Regency hair = major rowr in a way that Roman crops just aren't.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:40 (eighteen years ago)

SCRUFFY SCRUFFY SCRUFFY

Heheheheh Kate, I thought you may say that :) I can see why there would be a scruffy=exciting, clean-cut=boring thing, but I'm glad to find out that the whole of everything is hugely subjective; I think it gives us all a chance. The running conversation with a friend that I mentioned before has gone for ages along the lines of me suggesting someone classically good-looking and her steadfastly refusing to be swayed in any way other than "he's attractive, but..." I think in a lot of ways it's that you are looking somehow deeper - there maybe has to be a depth even to their looks, if you know what I mean. Any thoughts?

BTW, apologies for xposting all the time; I'm having to think, here, and quite frankly, it HURTS.

― peteR, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:40 (eighteen years ago)

I mean, case in point from that P&P - Darcy was totally hott from the shoulders up, but the rest of him... argh, no, I like men who can put their arms down.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:41 (eighteen years ago)

Blimey, creepy eyes or not, he's on my would-like-to-look-like list.

― peteR, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:43 (eighteen years ago)

Who's that fop? No wait.... it's alright I know who that is.

Who's this Jack character you're on about, CJ?

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:44 (eighteen years ago)

peteR, it's not just what they look like, but the subjective aspects of what that look *signifies* to the crusher. Obviously, I prefer scruffier longhairs because it goes along with that whole iconoclast outsider thing.

But it's also true that every girl imprints, in some way, on their dad, or other major male figures from their youth. My dad has always had long hair - that's my very basic... archetype of what a man should look like.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

That Darcy is a giant IRL Kate, I think I mentioned that before. You wouldn't like him. He's taller than me and fatvery well built.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:47 (eighteen years ago)

I don't really understand this 'I fancy them except for their nose/bum/shoulders/whatever' thing. To me I either do or I don't as they are.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:48 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, I know, Dr. C but he's DARCY!!! His face/eyes/broodiness is lovely. I just kind of ignore the "very well built" under all the frock coats.

It's weird, those two photos of that Simon bloke just illustrate how hair maketh the crush. (Though Bingley is way too WET for me to crush on.)

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

I rather like his wife.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:51 (eighteen years ago)

It isn't 'I fancy them except for their nose/bum/shoulders/whatever' thing. it's "I would fancy them, except for..."

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:53 (eighteen years ago)

Kate, I never thought of it that way (xxxxpost, as usual). You're right, though, undoubtedly. Wonder whether that's the same with blokes? I mean, my mum had a beehive for my formative years. I'm going to have to start watching 50's films.

It really is a very basic reaction with me. I just think men look... incomplete with short hair.

And that is totally my father's fault.

That said, my brother totally rebelled by having stupid cropped-short hair most of his life. But his wife (who also had a crazy hippie father) has made him grow his hair, ha ha.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:56 (eighteen years ago)

― accentmonkey, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:59 (eighteen years ago)

x-post Oh that's even more odd, Kate. I just don't get that. I either do or don't. There's something very analytical about looking at someone and saying if she was taller/blonde/had different eyes I would fancy them.

Pete - yes. But if they don't they don't. I can't imagine saying 'if only she had longer hair, then I'd really fancy her. Maybe it's just me.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:05 (eighteen years ago)

It's not a "if only she did have X..." it's "I cannot fancy him BECAUSE X."

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:07 (eighteen years ago)

It isn't just you, I'm the same. I can understand someone being intrigued and thinking further as to why, though. I do analyse why things work; maybe it's strange to not think why they don't.

― peteR, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 17:09 (eighteen years ago)

Oh I see. I still don't really think like that.

Before I go, here's another one for CJ :

Well she did admit to having a crush on the bubble permed guitarist (bassist?) of Def Leppard. I might still be slagging her about that!

Well, you won't put me off nu-Octavian.

Ah, a challenge ;)

Also it is an interesting idea that all of my cruelty stems from my sister. It makes sense really!

Right then. One million x-posts later .....


The "Jack" which PeteR and I were discussing upthread is Jack from Lost:

[Removed Illegal Image]

is not all that dissimilar in looks to Jason Isaacs:

http://imagesource.allposters.com/images/pic/PF/PF_341224_OEM_15MB~Jason-Isaacs-Posters.jpg

They're both good looking dudes, yet I am more attracted to Jason because I think he looks warmer, kinder, more humorous. Even more so when you see him dressed as Lucius Malfoy:

http://www.alicia-logic.com/capsimages/hp2cs_261JasonIsaacs.jpg

where he is verging on hott.

Damian however looks as though he has a distinctly cruel streak in him, so I can't bring myself to fancy him at all.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:02 (eighteen years ago)

So he's the one I think looks cold and passionless and therefore probably rubbish in bed.


I was comparing Jason Isaacs with Damian Lewis.

Why am I cocking up all these posts? Perhaps I need a coffee.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:07 (eighteen years ago)

I also pronounced on Dean Lennox Kelly, but that post seems to have vanished as well! Wot is happenin?

I don't like DLK because I don't think he looks very bright. I'm probably doing him a massive disservice and he's probably a member of Mensa and was team captain on University Challenge or something, but he just doesn't look very intelligent. And I don't find that an attractive look.

Can I be any more shallow?

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:10 (eighteen years ago)

I'm reeling a bit from Kate's statement, above :

But it's also true that every girl imprints, in some way, on their dad, or other major male figures from their youth

I've often thought it's true that girls will subconsciously seek a man who has similar qualities to those of her father (if she admired her father, that is), but I've never actually though about it in terms of physical appearance. But then I went and dug out an old photo of my Dad, back when he and my Mum were first married :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/Paronomasiac/scan0002.jpg

and looking at him in comparison with, say, Kyran Bracken:

[Removed Illegal Image]

I see there's quite a definite similarity between my Dad and the facial features I appear to find attractive in men.

Oh. my. god. I never ever realised this before.

I remembered what I was going to post yesterday. It's kind of related to the 'in-character' vs IRL chat, but not about crushes.

I was in a shop with the missus last year and we were queueing at the till. In a parallel queue, this smartly dressed middle-aged woman (think June Whitfield-ish) kept looking across. Finally she came over, put her hand on Mrs. Dr. C's arm and said 'Excuse me dear, I just have to say that I think what you said about (name of character) was awful and very unfair'. We both looked at her and realised that she was absolutely serious! Totally! There was an awkward pause and then, totally in-character, Mrs. Dr. C said quietly 'well you only see us for 45 minutes a week, you should hear what I have to put up with from her the rest of the time'. 'June' said something like 'Oh I see, I suppose so' and scuttled back to her queue. Totally fecking nuts!

I wish I wasn't attracted to men with the same qualities as my father - distant, emotionally unavailable, not so much cold as just distracted and disinterested in anything that isn't astronomy, advanced maths, nature or folk instruments - but the physical thing is unavoidable. Long horsey face, pointy nose, long dark hair (to the shoulders or longer) with ears sticking out (I think that's why I found Lemmy so cute - the way he tucks his hair behind his flyaway ears) - it's totally IMPRINTED on me in a sort of "this is what men are supposed to look like" image.

Arrr... coffee. I want. It's cause it's cold.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:31 (eighteen years ago)

Ooh Jason Isaacs, yum.

― leigh, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:34 (eighteen years ago)

Hahahah I'm loathe to suggest people now, C J, in case you think I'm being offensive to your dad. I'm still thinking, though., and it still HURTS. (BTW, was your first bf Martin from 'stenders?)

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:37 (eighteen years ago)

Ha, that's funny Pete, because 'stenders was on the telly one day and I said to my young daughters "ooh, my first boyfriend looked like Martin!" and they were absolutely horrified and thought he was the ugliest thing they'd ever seen.

Suggestions for crushes won't be offensive to my Dad, not in the slightest. But I really am still gobsmacked by the fact I do find features similar to his attractive, and now I feel like some Freudian basketcase.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:44 (eighteen years ago)

Phew... (I instantly felt bad as soon as I posted that. I do think he's better looking - and probably has higher-set knuckles than Martin).

The bit I'm having trouble with is the "on telly at the minute" bit, so I'm going to temporarily waive that for...(cue WRONGNESS, probably): Josh Duhamel. I can send dvds of Las Vegas if needs be.

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:48 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, he's nice!!

Although I just googled to find a picture of him and I didn't have a safe search enabled, so I just got pictures of him totally and utterly naked. With no clothes on. I've gone into a bit of a state of shock.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:51 (eighteen years ago)

...and I think I have just been sacked for the same reason. Ooops.

Do you wish copies of LV to be sent?

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:52 (eighteen years ago)

With no clothes on!!?!?!? Goodness. Is he attractive?

I've never seen that program that DLK is on, but sometimes really thick really cute men can be attractive in a one night stand physical sort of way. I'd never dream about being in a relationship with one, but pure sex fantasies with a troglodyte? Perhaps.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:53 (eighteen years ago)

No, no, he's far too clean cut, and, err... *built* and takes his clothes off too much.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:55 (eighteen years ago)

He's ahem umm err not bad, Kate. :)

But he waxes his chest and I don't like girly-men. I like them to have the hair they were intended to have.

Plus, he lives with his girlfriend who is Fergie from the BlackEyed Peas, so I'm rapidly cooling on the idea of crushing on him. Thanks for the offer of the Las Vegas dvds Pete - that's very kind of you - but I don't think they'll be required.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:57 (eighteen years ago)

I was disturbed to find that i still fancied Alex Thomson off Channel 4 News in spite of him sporting some nasty Clarksonesque jeans last night.

― leigh, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:58 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, quite. Men who have pictures of themselves plastered all over tinternet without their kit on are obviously TARTS and I require my crush to be a bit classier than that please.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:59 (eighteen years ago)

Eeeww, ewww, Fergie from the BlackEyed Peas - I bet she pees on him in bed.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:59 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, newsreaders! I kind of like Mark Austin from ITV news:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/graphics/2005/09/24/naustin24.jpg

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:00 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, I can't be crushing on anyone who's had Fergie from the BlackEyed Peas. I mean, I like down-and-dirty sheet-grabbing sex as much as anyone, but as far as lust objects are concerned, you've got to consider their previous form a bit.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:03 (eighteen years ago)

Schacafraschin' schrashin' schnashin'... I thought I had it there. Oh well.

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:03 (eighteen years ago)

Waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I cry a little every time I see pictures of them now:

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o125/wonderandlust/The%20Secret%20Machines/SecretMachines-SGG-043288.jpg

That little shy-looking redhead. I have no idea where my thing for redheads came from. Probably David J.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:06 (eighteen years ago)

You were close though, Muttley!

Perhaps this is nature's way of telling me not to have crushes any more :(

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:06 (eighteen years ago)

Mark Austin is ok, nice and tall. I used to have a bit of a thing for paxo but he's a bit mature.

― leigh, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:06 (eighteen years ago)

Joe Flanigan (Sheppard from SG Atlantis)? (Poss. Ronon for Kate...) I'm clutching at straws, now, I'm afraid.

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:06 (eighteen years ago)

Richard Flanigan has something of the Richard Gere about him.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:10 (eighteen years ago)

No, I don't like his eyebrows AT ALL. And his hair and facial caligraphy seem a little too... just no. I bet he likes jazz.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/db3939/ronon.gif

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:11 (eighteen years ago)

[i]I bet he likes jazz/[i]

This made me laugh out loud. I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that I KNOW NOTHING ;)

So, C J, Richard Gere=bad thing, or no?

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:12 (eighteen years ago)

Paxo is a bit too old for me (I've just looked him up and seen that he's 57 ... I didn't actually think he was quite that old). I don't like his arrogance, but I warmed to him a bit after seeing him on Who Do You Think You Are when he discovered what a hard and impoverished life his great grandmother had endured, and he cried. Aww. Maybe he's a big old softie really.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:14 (eighteen years ago)

Richard Gere - bad thing

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:14 (eighteen years ago)

This is more like it... if he wasn't TWO FOOT TALL - and a toe-stomping berk to boot.

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o125/wonderandlust/The%20Secret%20Machines/6-10-3020city20hall20the20secret20m.jpg

(I think I just like his bass.)

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:15 (eighteen years ago)

See, the thing with DDB's is that it doesn't actually matter what they look like - just stick all their hair in front of their faces, and they're hott.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:20 (eighteen years ago)

You're thinking hott, and I'm thinking 'get yourself in the shower with a bottle of head'n'shoulders NOW'

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:26 (eighteen years ago)

I thought you wanted to BATH these dirty fellows, Kate? I guess they could keep their hair dirty though.

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:29 (eighteen years ago)

Have you found anyone suitable yet, CJ? What's the status here?

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:30 (eighteen years ago)

DDBs would not be for me. They remind me too much of my brother and his friends when he used to be in bands, and they would all hang around the house, skinny and stoned and unwashed, with their holey cardigans on in place of any warmth-giving flesh at all, and they all smelled kind of bad.

I mean, I love them, but I couldn't crush on them. I am a mother figure to boys like that. I bring them tea and clean ashtrays.

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:31 (eighteen years ago)

Why do you have to mock my taste in men?

That's not even one of my faves, I prefer his little brother. I just like that shot of him, with his hair all dirty in his face.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:31 (eighteen years ago)

I am still crushless, which is a sad state of affairs I must say.

Perhaps I should go through the upcoming TV schedules to see what's going to be on our screens during the Spring. Part of the delight of having a crush is that you can look forward to swooning over them on a fairly regular basis.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:33 (eighteen years ago)

They remind me too much of my brother and his friends when he used to be in bands, and they would all hang around the house, skinny and stoned and unwashed, with their holey cardigans on in place of any warmth-giving flesh at all, and they all smelled kind of bad.

Oh god, yes, hottt, hottttt, HOTTTTT!!!

Except this wasn't my brother - he was too busy organising his youth for fascism rallies down the young Tories abroad headquarters. This was all MY mates smoking their joints behind the rhodedenrons.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:35 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, I was trying to do that for you last night, along with Mister Monkey. "CJ needs a new crush," I said. "Someone who's on telly regular."

But we couldn't find anyone, if you don't like Taye Diggs. Other than Naveen Andrews, or Hugh Laurie, that's kind of all we have on offer right now.

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:35 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, which reminds me that it's the last Party Animals tonight. No more hottness there.

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:35 (eighteen years ago)

Yes I was trying to think what was coming up, hence mention of Austen-season actors etc.

Has Nathaniel Parker been mentioned?

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:38 (eighteen years ago)

Perhaps I should abandon my futile quest, and take up cross-stitch instead.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:39 (eighteen years ago)

I half-heartedly suggested Nathaniel Parker for myself, somewhere way upthread. He's lovely, but doesn't quite make me go phwoar.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:41 (eighteen years ago)

Perhaps I should abandon my futile quest, and take up cross-stitch instead.

Dammit CJ! That's no kind of talk.

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:42 (eighteen years ago)

This is the problem, you cannot seek out such crushes. They can only ever take you by surprise as you flick, bored, through the television channels and suddenly your breath catches, and you go "ooh, what is that?" and go back again and again to the same program, checking the listings to find out when your crush will be available to you again... surprised by the occasional preview thing that flashes on screen in the course of breaks...

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:44 (eighteen years ago)

What about any of the boys in ER? I've loved Goran for so long now, I sometimes forget how great he is. And hott.

Why, here he is now!

http://dorcsika88.kepeslap.com/images/12477/goran4.JPG

I think I need a lie down.

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:45 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, he's kinda hott up there!

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:46 (eighteen years ago)

Kate is right.

I think you have very high standards, CJ! The phwoar factor seems to be rarely bestowed.

I have 3 in one programme tonight (although there is a hierarchy), which makes me seem rather...hasty?

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:48 (eighteen years ago)

He's like a young Bryan Ferry!

Bryan Ferry used to be super hott.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:49 (eighteen years ago)

You're right, Dr C. I seem to be very very difficult to please.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:51 (eighteen years ago)

Bryan Ferry has weird eyes. He still looks great for, what....62?

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:51 (eighteen years ago)

Bryan Ferry is still totally hott in that hott older dude sort of way. Plus, his sons... PHWOOOARRR, total posh totty Ferrylings.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:51 (eighteen years ago)

Apparently Goran is going to be a villain in the next Bond movie which will ramp up the onscreen hottness to ridiculous levels.

― leigh, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:53 (eighteen years ago)

Weird how? I've never noticed Ferry eye weirdness. He still looks good for 168, or however old he is, but he is starting to look understandably a bit tatty around the edges.

I remember playing a game with some friends once in which we had to pretend we were music journalists, and which sleb would we find it the hardest to interview because they made us star-struck. Bryan Ferry was my choice.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:54 (eighteen years ago)

I can't think of any music people who would make me so star struck as to be unable to interview them. No, not even David Bowie. Oh, wait, maybe Prince, but that's more because I would be terrified I would say something wrong and he would be pissed off with me.

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:58 (eighteen years ago)

I'm starstruck by everyone - I could never interview anyone.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:59 (eighteen years ago)

He narrows his eyes oddly sometimes - maybe it's only when he's singing. He was Mark Radcliffe's guest on Radio 2 last night - he has a very odd speaking voice.

Speaking of guests on Mark R's show one of his regular guests is a semi-crush : Clare Grogan. Hottness!

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:03 (eighteen years ago)

Why do so many men have the hotts for Clare Grogan? Everyone seems to fancy the pants off her. WHAT IS HER SECRET??

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:04 (eighteen years ago)

I think it's men of a certain age. Mister Monkey is mad for Clare Grogan as well.

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:08 (eighteen years ago)

Only show I can think of which has a new season starting is one which I'm DEFINITELY looking forward to for crush purposes: Lily Rush (Katherine Morris) in Cold Case is luuuuurvely. I think you're stumped for blokes in that, though, apart from Scotty Valens (Danny Pino). I'm not holding my breath for a positive response there (again). Think Standoff may be coming back (again, I like the woman in that). Ron Livingston?

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:08 (eighteen years ago)

I've never heard of Cold Case - is it American?

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:11 (eighteen years ago)

Yes. I would imagine the average ILXor would HATE it. I'm just soppy. Piccy, if this works (with Pino):

http://season1.viabloga.com/images/cold_case_3.jpg

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:15 (eighteen years ago)

[link This]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u3sXM5eR-4[/i] does a fine job of explaining why.

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:16 (eighteen years ago)

This does a better job of explaining La Clare's beauteous appeal.

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:17 (eighteen years ago)

Mr C J goes all unnecessary at the sight of Clare Grogan too - I think Trish is right, that it's a men-of-a-certain-age thing. But she has that cutesey little girl voice - is that not irritating?

That's another thing which further complicates my crush selection. I have to like his voice.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:20 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, Clare Grogan's voice is the ARRRGH ARRGGHH dealbreaker. It is a disappointment to find out that an attractive man has a horrible speaking voice - I swear thousands of hearts broke the first time David Beckham opened his mouth.

Sometimes the speaking voice maketh the man - Nigel Spivey, aaahhh OH GOD, YES, THE LUGUBRIOUSNESS!!!

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:22 (eighteen years ago)

Why do so many men have the hotts for Clare Grogan? Everyone seems to fancy the pants off her. WHAT IS HER SECRET??

I really don't know! I think yesterday proved that I don't have any consistency or any particular insight into what-is-hott and what-is-not. She just is. I'd say that she is a little shorter than I'd normally go for, but I guess that makes her portable and easy to carry around if necessary.

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:25 (eighteen years ago)

The man in the Cold Case pic looks quite nice, in a typical all-American-boy (I'm thinking Ben Affleck) way. The girl's pretty, too. (I used to have my hair a bit like that when I was a teenager!)

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:25 (eighteen years ago)

x-post Her speaking voice is rather nice, not as little-girly as her singing voice.

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:26 (eighteen years ago)

Though Nigel Spivey does also have the long face/dark hair/pointy nose thing, mainly its his Cambridge Art Historian Voice that just really does it for me. Even if I know he's really from Sarf London.

http://www.emma.cam.ac.uk/teaching/fellows/photos/thumbs/300x/spivey.jpg

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:27 (eighteen years ago)

I think yesterday proved that Dr C finds it easy to find something crush-on-able in any number of women, whereas I am just picky picky picky.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:28 (eighteen years ago)

I'm just weird, CJ.

Now look here. I'm going back to early yesterday's revelation that no.8's could be horn-worthy. This chap has played number 8 a lot but wears a 6 for his country. Does Simon Easterby take your fancy?


http://www.ercrugby.com/images/news/Simon_Easterby(1).jpg

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:32 (eighteen years ago)

Hair is up in pic - she wears it down more now which I don't like as much. She's still lovely, though. Clare Grogan doesn't do it for me. Slightly (by about three or four years) too young for Gregory's Girl when it came out. Think everyone may be right about the specific age thing.

Still thinking, albeit over lunch. Ah - before I go - Jon Snow's son. I can't remember his name.

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:34 (eighteen years ago)

Simon Easterby has a glass jaw!

I think you're on the right lines with trying to find me a rugby player rather than a perfectly-groomed actor. It's the thighs. Rugby players' thighs. Mmmm.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:39 (eighteen years ago)

Now more than ever I am convinced that CJ is the anti-me when it comes to crushes.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:41 (eighteen years ago)

Damn, I thought Easterby was a good try.

Thighs...OK.

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:48 (eighteen years ago)

It's going to have to be me CJ, there's nothing else for it.

― Matt, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:49 (eighteen years ago)

In that case I'd like to be considered too! I have thighs.

Maybe we should both be auditioned?

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:52 (eighteen years ago)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39927000/jpg/_39927493_vickery300.jpg

Easterby's thighs (not as good as mine). And only puffs wear headguards.

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:53 (eighteen years ago)

Oi! Settle! You leave Simon alone.

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:59 (eighteen years ago)

Peter Snow's son do you mean? Dan Snow, he is nice, felt like a bit of a perve when i found out he was only 26.

Ah, sure, he's old enough to speak up for himself. That's all you want.

I must say i'm a little put off by that brightly coloured ralph lauren shirt too.

Blimey, you lot are picky.

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:19 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, I already have massive crushes on Matt and Dr C, our two resident number eights, but ILX crushes don't count. I need someone I can leer at on telly as well.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:06 (eighteen years ago)

Rob Newman has a new series coming up on BBC4, i'll be in full leer mode when that comes on - he is bootiful.

― leigh, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:10 (eighteen years ago)

Rob Newman has a very pretty face. Pretty enough to play Robin Hood, I reckon.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:12 (eighteen years ago)

He has lovely skin as i discoverd after sitting about 5ft from him in a pub in Edinburgh during the fringe a few years back.

― leigh, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:14 (eighteen years ago)

Patrick Dempsey from Grey's Anatomy? (There's definitely something about Meredith Grey - Ellen Pompeo - that's v.v. nice)

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:16 (eighteen years ago)

Maybe he has some disgusting skincare regime to make it thus, i.e. drinking his own wee.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:16 (eighteen years ago)

No, Patrick Dempsey looks like he tries too hard. I don't like men who look like they try too hard.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:17 (eighteen years ago)

or drink their own wee.

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:17 (eighteen years ago)

i.e. drinking his own wee.

I am now no longer going to be jealous of anyone I think is attractive. I'm just going to smile inwardly and think "I bet he drinks his own wee." This is BRILLIANT.

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:18 (eighteen years ago)

Funny, i do like Patrick Dempsey and didn't back in the day - it's all in the squint.

― leigh, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:22 (eighteen years ago)

I think Alias may have finished now (but is probably still being shown on Bravo or something): Michael Vartan?

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:23 (eighteen years ago)

I've only got terrestrial channels and a freeview box :(

― C J, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:23 (eighteen years ago)

leigh, have you seen the massive billboard posters for the new series of Greys on 5 (don't know where you are - that relates to London). He looks v. good in those.

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:24 (eighteen years ago)

C J, you're just making this impossible ;)

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:25 (eighteen years ago)

I'm in Edinburgh but we have them too, i think it's in the squinting and the navy scrubs. I still have a nasty memory of him and Amanda De Cadenet being particularly obnoxious on the word but Grey's Anatomy is almost enough to erase them. Meredith needs a good smack though.

― leigh, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:27 (eighteen years ago)

On a crush of shame tip, i was a little dismayed to see Tim Westwood on comic relief and realise that i still fancied him.

― leigh, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:42 (eighteen years ago)

It still makes me laugh that his dad is, like, the Bishop of Norwich, or something. I can just imagine sunday lunch.

― peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:46 (eighteen years ago)

What we've learned :

1) CJ is bloody picky a lady of discerning and selective taste.
2) Kate and CJ are pretty much the opposite, thus no fighting over crushes likely.
3) Pete can't tell his right from his left.
4) Kate likes dirty men with long grey hair and pointy noses
5) I fancy anything with a pulse
6) People get put off by the wrong shirt or the wrong nose. I say ignore the details - total hottness is absolute and not to be analysed too much.
7) CJ used the phrase 'down and dirty sheet-grabbing sex' during my mid-morning tea and Hobnobs break. There are still crumbs everywhere here.



― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:40 (eighteen years ago)

Just over 6 hours until Party Animals. Poor Raquel has lost her husband and now looks like losing her job. She could do with some consoling, I think.

No, it doesn't have to be grey - it should preferably be dark, but blond and ginger are both OK, too. In fact, it doesn't really matter what the colour is, so long as it's long. And slightly greasy. I don't like hair that looks like a Breck advert.

Pete can't tell his right from his left

...or indeed, his arse from his elbow.

Someone's suggested Philip Glenister already, right?

Is Hustle back soon - I could recommend Adrian Lester for you, if so? Mind you, you've discounted Rupert Penry-Jones for having a bit of wonky nose, so perhaps there is no hope for you.

Just thought I'd have one last shot at this, as poor old CJ is still crushless.

I know, I know....old, grey and a dodgy nose. But wait.....

― Dr.C, Thursday, 22 March 2007 13:23 (eighteen years ago)

....there's something I want to show you...

....you won't be able to resist this!

― Dr.C, Thursday, 22 March 2007 13:24 (eighteen years ago)

Are you ready for this, CJ?

Here goes..........

*faints*

― C J, Thursday, 22 March 2007 13:29 (eighteen years ago)

Some fetch the smelling salts....quickly! Get her into the recovery position!

Are you alright, CJ?

― Dr.C, Thursday, 22 March 2007 13:34 (eighteen years ago)

My suspicion is that she may even be better than alright. I think that may be have been the sound of a crush problem being solved ;)

― peteR, Thursday, 22 March 2007 14:08 (eighteen years ago)

Yup. I'm totally crushing on that rugby jersey now.

I've just heard that the 2007 and 2006 Dancing on Ice finalists are going to be in a skate-off on Saturday night to determine the Champion of Champions, so I get to drool over Kyran Bracken in his figure-hugging lycra ONE MORE TIME. Thank you, God.

― C J, Friday, 23 March 2007 09:30 (eighteen years ago)

So it's just the jersey (:

(sobs)

― Dr.C, Friday, 23 March 2007 09:45 (eighteen years ago)

It's a very hott jersey.


:)

― C J, Friday, 23 March 2007 09:50 (eighteen years ago)

Phwoar, etc!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:35 (eighteen years ago)

I think I lost my jersey a couple of house moves ago:(

― Matt, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:21 (eighteen years ago)

It's alright, she's got Kyran and his cheeky grin back for another weekend.

I'm sorely tempted to play rugby tomorrow - if so the JERSEY WILL GET DIRTY!




― Dr.C, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:33 (eighteen years ago)

I'm sure you missed a few 'R's out of DIRRRRRRTY, there, DR. C....

― peteR, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:36 (eighteen years ago)

Oh yes!

― Dr.C, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:37 (eighteen years ago)

You're just teasing me now.

― C J, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:51 (eighteen years ago)

Speaking of HOTTTTT number Eights, please can I have number 8 sent up to my room now?

Eric Dane anyone?

Another one in the vein of Damian Lewis and Simon Woods: Ned Vaughn. Always had a thing for redheads because of him.
