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 :

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)

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.

leigh, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:00 (eighteen years ago)

Jon Snow's son = Dan Snow:

That's the one - sorry

peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:05 (eighteen years ago)

Jebus I feel old.

peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:07 (eighteen years ago)

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

accentmonkey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:11 (eighteen years ago)

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

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

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.

Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:47 (eighteen years ago)

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.

Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:48 (eighteen years ago)

Pete can't tell his right from his left

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

peteR, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:51 (eighteen years ago)

[Removed Illegal Link]

accentmonkey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:52 (eighteen years ago)

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.

ailsa, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:36 (eighteen years ago)

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

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/159/430240861_59f5e397a3.jpg?v=0

*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?
