because the 800lb gorilla that is spring crushes! deserves a rest.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

Gal at work. I think our age difference freaks her out. I'd like to consentually molest her in the dark. She is very tall and curvy.

i have a crush on jeremy paxman, but i've said that already.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 12:39 (twenty years ago)

This is about 2005. Move on.

― Jimmy Mod always makes friends with women before bedding them down (ModJ), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 12:41 (twenty years ago)

come on.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 12:42 (twenty years ago)

I haven't had a proper crush for ages and now I do, and it's terribly inconvenient :(

(Lauren I don't think these long-running ones count otherwise I'd just be all ALASTAIR CAMPBELL in this thread!)

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

Alastair Campbell?!!

You can't be my friend any more.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 12:53 (twenty years ago)

Alastair is EVEN FITTER in the flesh. I once asked him how it felt to be a sex object, and he looked more discomfited than he ever did during the Hutton Inquiry.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:09 (twenty years ago)

You would have thought he'd got used to questions along those lines from when he used to be a porn writer.

― caitlin (caitlin), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:10 (twenty years ago)

I think he was probably more discomfited by the way I was ogling his crotch at the time.

I must track down his porn, really.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:14 (twenty years ago)

No more crushes. In 2005 it's cold rationalism for me!

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

Real life crushes, internet crushes, or celebrity crushes?

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:57 (twenty years ago)

not even bobby crushes.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

i am crushing all the people on the 'what do you look like in your underwear' thread, adorable bastards

― Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:15 (twenty years ago)

Actually, I was asking Lauren which kind of crushes she was after?

I kind of don't have a crush at the moment. Which is weird. OK, there are lots of celebrity type blokes who I think "phwoar, etc." (I found myself perving over Ewan MacGreggor again last night for some strange reason) but no big, huge, overwhelming crush.

OK, wait, I definitely do still have the same crush IRL, but that's taken on a very strange dimension.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:16 (twenty years ago)

(xpost)

as above, but replace "crushing" with "retching at" and omit the last two words.

yes i'm a fine one to talk.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:18 (twenty years ago)

rofl@ paxman crush. if lauren gets really big hair then i might have to crush that

celebrity crushes: Bridget Fonda again (after catching both Jackie Brown and Monkeybone on TV recently), Charlotte Hatherley (after seeing 'Bastardo' video), Fiona 'fearbrows' Bruce, token 'edgy/unconventional' inclusion er...i'll get back to you

― Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:21 (twenty years ago)

i have no crushes right now. none. it's depressing.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

Oh, yes, random celebrity crushes, I *totally* lezzup crush all over that blonde presenter on The Culture Show.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

I have a crush on Mindy the mermaid from the Spongebob movie!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

big hair? que?

i'm hopelessly stuck on paxman, i'm afraid.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:51 (twenty years ago)

my list of crushes is really fucking long right now. :(((((((

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:53 (twenty years ago)

i'll never forget the day i saw Paxman screeching into the BBC TV Centre car park, fully suited up, on a pre-war bicycle

― Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

not to be confused with Jeremy Clarkson, whom I once saw roaring out of the underground car park at Park Lane at about 150 mph and going arse over tit.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

The boy from work who I actually think is a cock, but he has a girlfriend so it's all ok.
Crush, no. Chemistry HELL YES.
Ryan from The OC.
Bill Murray 4 eva.

Rob Lowe in suited West Wing mode.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 15:09 (twenty years ago)

I don't have a crush on anyone (IRL), but the goth-ish girl student working part-time in the local Co-op has a hard-on for me. Why else would she ask me if I lived locally and then hurridly add "I've just seen you around, that's all", as I dug for change in my pockets?
I don't fancy her in the least though, but nevermind.

― David Merryweather (DavidM), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 15:24 (twenty years ago)

A hard-on?

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 16:11 (twenty years ago)

The new boy in the video shop keeps giving Matt free films because he claims to 'recognise' him (from where, he hasn't said). Tune in next week for escalation into full stalker horror scenario.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 16:40 (twenty years ago)

ooh i used to get free films from a video store stalker too. I had to stop going in there to be honest it was awkward.

no crushes here, so far.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 16:47 (twenty years ago)

Ohmigod! I have a new crush! I'm so happy! Just what I needed!

Oh wait, no, just what I *didn't* need, but still. It's nice to have one.

Does anyone remember Brett Anderson lookylike boy from the shoegazer club who kept buttonholing me for urgent discussions about Flock of Seagulls? Well, yeah, he fronts a romo-glam-spacesynth-Brian-Eno-Shagging-Duran-Duran-In-Jarvis-Cocker's-Bedsit sort of outfit and I've got a crush on his whole band.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:39 (twenty years ago)

Pinefox, I think you'll find the technical term is a clit-on.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:43 (twenty years ago)

as above, but replace "crushing" with "retching at" and omit the last two words.

I thought you weren't coming back?

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:45 (twenty years ago)

None of my IRL crushes have been getting anywhere lately. Bah.

― caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:51 (twenty years ago)

Enough with the nastiness! More with the crushing!

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:54 (twenty years ago)

omg another crush thread started by lauren!

kate i have a hopeless crush on you.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:57 (twenty years ago)

literally?

xpost

― Stevem On X (blueski), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:57 (twenty years ago)

Stence, how many times do I have to tell you? You are my original and best ILX crush and some day if you stop with the flirting and make with the macking, we will prove those NY-LON things can work with English girl and American boy for a change.

And crushing, literally... oh yes. He's a wee little thing.

The Spy hates him, calls him Morph. (Funny because he won't talk to me when The Spy is around, in fact, he'll only talk to me when I'm out with a girl, I guess he thinks I'm a lesbian and safe then.) Which is brilliant considering their Synthesist said this:

Bond movies would be great if the glamourous treachourous female leads won the battle of the wits and kicked the living shit out of whichever smarmy little cock happens to be starring...

...which is essentially what I've been saying since I was 11. Swoon.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:02 (twenty years ago)

Wow, you really fell for that make-myself-attractive-to-chicks line right there.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:05 (twenty years ago)

please kate either get over your fear of flying and/or send me cash to come to london. i am listening to fahey and feeling lonely, yet still somewhat sober (despite my posts). we have met, but yet have not met (i hardly talked to you that night). sheesh.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:06 (twenty years ago)

Well, what I found far more attractive was him making out with the bassist in the corner before they went on. OH GOD YES!!!

x-post... :-)

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:07 (twenty years ago)

i can play bass but i have no idea what you're talking about.

ps.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:10 (twenty years ago)

It's funny, because I've past this point now where I don't find women kissing each other attractive any more. And now, I totally can't understand what you find exciting about two guys making out, even though I find that pretty hot myself.

What the hell is going on.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:11 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, Stence, I was talking about Luxembourg.

I don't know what it is about hott boys making out. But it is very hott indeed. Emsk kept telling me "close your mouth, dear."

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:13 (twenty years ago)

fuck dykes, they're over.

(no offense to real lesbians, obv.).

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:13 (twenty years ago)

the only european country i have been to is spain.

btw. kate will you marry me?

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:14 (twenty years ago)

If you two actually did get together that would be awesome.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:15 (twenty years ago)

i was in the same bar tonight that i met her in, but yet, that night i hardly said hello (I was in a relationship). I suck.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:16 (twenty years ago)

I'd never seen a picture of Superpitcher before. He looks disturbingly like Crispian Mills.

The jellyfish look is totally cute, Mark! It says "I think having a giant sunburst-coloured jellyfish as my hair is a good idea". Hottt.

Congrats to Ronan on CRUSH TRIUMPH, if I am reading him right?

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 12:54 (twenty years ago)

is this crush understandable in any way? a lot of people seem to be indicating that i am insane elsewhere. she's hot. why am i the only one?

― g-kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 12:57 (twenty years ago)

you are Greg, so far so good anyway, I'm kind of reeling a bit right now!

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 13:54 (twenty years ago)

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Sunday, 27 February 2005 08:55 (twenty years ago)

no this isn't the Long Game girl! I'm sorry to disappoint long game fans all over the world.

it's a new girl. she's so great, we've been out for a drink every day for 3 or 4 days now. it's all really good.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 27 February 2005 13:03 (twenty years ago)

Oh my god, you mean that's *not* Crispy Ian? Whoever he is, he's HOTT!!! OK, not as hott as Boris Johnson but still. Phwoar, etc.

Is this the girl you introduced me to last Sunday, Ronan? She seemed very cool. And she knows of Michael Mayer!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Sunday, 27 February 2005 19:22 (twenty years ago)

That's her Andrew. She does indeed, like Michael Mayer!

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 27 February 2005 19:44 (twenty years ago)

ARGH girl from film class ENOUGH ALREADY. (On the other hand, I am wearing a suit today and smelling especially tolerable.)

― Daniel Cohen (dayan), Thursday, 24 March 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

Because I will run into her today and stammer incoherently while staring at the ceiling, obviously. But I will look and smell terrific doing it. I have half a mind to make her a mix CD of early-nineties new-jack slow jams entitled "U Need a Man With Sensitivity," or something, just to torpedo any chance I have of her taking me seriously.

― Daniel Cohen (dayan), Thursday, 24 March 2005 13:46 (twenty years ago)

Oh god, embarrassing thread, die already. Do you remember how up there I was saying all sorts of embarrassing things and being all "oh god, I hope The Spy doesn't read this" and then the last time I saw him he started QUOTING large chunks of this thread across the dinner table and I just went ::cringe cringe die of embarrassment:: because of course, being a Spy, he knows all and can find out any information. Sigh.

Crushes? I still have a crush on Luxembourg. All of them. Especially David because he's clever.

And Boris Johnson. Crush of shame.

I think that's it.

I TOTALLY have a crush on M--, but I went to a party the other night and she was (a) making out with a fat-ass douchebag and (b) snorting coke.

I also have a crush on the chick that teaches yoga.

― giboyeux (skowly), Thursday, 19 May 2005 03:46 (twenty years ago)
