Entertainment For Lively Minds
Women I Secretly Adore
Posted by Brookster on 18 November 2011 - 12:05am.
Now I hate to endorse something from Nuts magazine (although they seem to have lost interest in of late). However, this is an interesting topic, especially when you find out that Nuts readers are all secretly excited over thoughts of Fern Britton.
However, seeing as this is a somewhat anonymous site (at least for me) it's ttime to fess up. And this applies to women and gay men of the board
1. Serena Williams. I can forgive the lovely Serena for her overdeveloped biceps, because I think she'd give you an evening you'd never forget
2. Miranda Sawyer. A little unorthodox, but there's something very sexy about the little minx

i get mixed up by
Fern Britton and Fearne Cotton (because of the first name), also Fearne Cotton and Lauren Laverne (because they look a bit the same and Fearne sounds a bit like Laverne) ... I am not a secret admirer of Fern, Fearne or Laverne however
There's nothing secret about it.
I openly adore lots of amazing women entertainers / writers including Lauren Laverne, Caitlin Moran, Miranda Sawyer, Sharon Horgan and Olivia Colman.
I'm slightly confused by this thread though, why should it be a secret?? (I think I'm missing something)
also
didn't Brookster mean straight men and gay women? or am i missing something too?
I think he meant
Gay men and (straight) women are allowed to nominate male totty if they wish.
Doh
I wasn't operating on all cylinders last night.
I'm straight
but I still have an absolute ton of girl crushes.
*swoons quietly at thought of Karen Gillan*
You've just made me feel a whole lot better
about having a crush on the comedian Ryan Stiles when I was a teenager.
And me
about that pic of Bowie in this month's Word.
Lee Miller
Vogue's correspondent at the sharp end of WWII Europe ... was photographed in Hitler's bath (at his Munich apartment, end of April/beginning of May 1945) .. fascinating woman ... i'll admit to being a long time secret admirer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Miller
And that
is just the half of it. Fascinating woman. Pity about her family life.
Alex Jones
Lovely, lovely, lovely (with a Welsh accent)
Yes, yes, yes
and if that arse James Jordan off Strictly doesn't stop handling her inappropriately......grrrr
not quite so special
after his voice broke though
Recent adorations
I lust after Suzanna Reid these days. There's something about these minxy middle aged new readers; maybe its the brains combined with cut glass voices and beauty. Then when it comes to TV dramas there's January Jones from Mad Men and Janel Moloney from Westwing. There were a lot of cool chicks on 24 but they kept getting whacked. Kim Raver was one of the sexiest.
But at the end of that day my top fantasy of all time, the woman who made my string vest crawl up my back and my nether regions ache for years as an adolescent, was the divine, the sexy, the top minx of all time the wonderful, lovable, shaggable, Raquel Welch.
"minxy middle aged newsreaders"
I'm with you there, whoever's recruiting at the BBC is doing a sterling job, I'd happily go into orbit with Suzanna, Sian, Emily, Kate or Mishal...
Ditto Suzanna Reid
I can watch her on Breakfast news in the morning for half an hour and not take in a bloody word that she says. It's only the intervention of a swift left jab from my missus that brings me back into the real world.
Four lady newsreaders on Children In Need
doing Strictly Come Dancing. Mmmmmm.........
oh my gawd
what I would like to do to Suzanna Reid and even Emily Maitlis would be a capital crime in certain parts of the Middle East.
Tight black skirt, crisp white blouse, stern glasses.......
If you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch Secretary again.
you mean
wear those outfits in the street?
Ahh Fiona
Just something about her...
You can keep your Fiona Bruce, your Susannah Reid etc...
Cathy Newman rules my world. I detect sauciness under her icy exterior...
Oi Lenny!
Someone else has got his or her eye on your bird!
I'm letting this one ride for the moment.
Still trying to get over the newsreaders on CIN.
Fenella Fielding.
It's always Fenella Fielding.
I love FF for her off-camera comment to...
... Kenneth Williams during the filming of "Carry On Screaming" - "Why is your bum so hard? Do you leave it out at night?" (imagine it in FF's voice for full effect...)
The Little Minx!!!!
Dear god Brookser, "little minx" is one step away from referring to women as "fillies"!!!!
Are you a secret member of the the Royal Family? :)
I don't secretly adore her
I am quite happy to shout it from any rooftop you'd care to specify. She is, beyond question, beautiful. And French. That's my ideal combination
It's a secret,
so I can't tell.
However, here's a clue. She writes a fortnightly column for the Guardian on music.
She's a friend who I don't see very often
She is happily married.
So am I.
We like each other, and work in the same business and respect what the other one does.
She makes my heart go boom bang a bang whenever I see her.
She is absolutely out of bounds, of course, which I understand.
I feel like I'm twelve years old.
You're not alone
I know someone like that. Happily married, and I even sang a few songs at her wedding.
I absolutely adore her. Worse still, I've been drunk in her company and confessed it in the past. I'm very lucky to know someone who would tolerate that and stay friends.
As you say, out of bounds! I'm 44, going on 15...
And there you have it.
The women who I publicly adore are on my tv. There are loads and I could bore you by listing them all.
The woman I secretly adore is within reach and a secret.
Oh yes
The woman I secretly adore is someone I've known for a long time and probably never even guessed how much I adored her. Or, more likely she did the sensible thing and decided to stay quiet and hope I would keep quiet too and not ruin everything. So I did.
Ah, well
Another Fenella
Fenella Fudge, from Radio 2. Not a clue what she looks like but isn't that part of the attraction?
I used to have what I can only describe as a "working relationship" with the secretary of a customer on the telephone. When we finally met it was a bit of an anticlimax for both of us as I'm no oil painting and she wasn't how I pictured her at all.
Oddly
you're the second person I've heard mention Fenella Fudge in the last 24 hours. She's married to a friend of mine.
While we're here, yes, I know the "working relationship" one. I used to read travel bulletins for a living, and whenever I met anyone who knew my name, they'd look me over, slightly wide-eyed and then say "Oh... you don't look like how I imagined at all!". Apparently I sound blonde and short. *shrugs*
She must have had to...
...steel herself when taking your friend's surname. tell me his first name isn't 'Peanut' or 'Chocolate' or suchlike...
Ooh
just googled her and I'm pleasantly relieved (not a euphemism, I hasten to add). I can still remember being slightly miffed when she stopped being Ms Hadingham, though I was spoken for myself by then.
Theresa May
no seriously...I think there is something wrong with me here.....
"Hello?"
"Is that the ACME Very Thick Wall Upholstery And Solid Steel Door Company? I'd like to place an order."
A less embarassing suggestion perhaps?
Since I would be in awe of her if I ever met her in the flesh - and so my adoration would remain secret - I think Joanna Newsom also fits the bill:
Deal.
I wonder if it's possible to use a harp... no. *douses brain in cold water, necks bromide from bottle*
A harp makes a great industrial egg slicer.
HOW BIG ARE THE EGGS YOU BUY?
Has this given you...
... an idea for the cafe, Bob?
It's given me an idea.
I want to use a catapult to fire a hard-boiled ostrich egg at a harp.
It'd work, I'm sure.
I've 'served' a (shelled) hard-boiled egg with a tennis racquet
and it pretty much does exactly what you'd hope :-)
That's pretty much how chips are made on an industrial scale.
It's a bit of kit called a water-knife. I'd love to have a play with one.
A comely wench, that's for sure...
so much better when she isn't singing or plinking.
Dear god what's happened to the blog?
A comely wench? A little minx? Did all those feminists not die for nothing?
Mind you, it's more fun to be part of a crowd, so f*ck it, I'll join in.
I'm massively attracted to Kaye Adams, she's errrr a vixen.
Those feminist chicks...
I've got a lot of time for them, actually.
Did you ever see Oliver Reed on After Dark?
....to poor old Kate Millet? In my school the quote "Shy Away, Big tits" became through chinese whispers "Cheer up Big Tits".
It perforated many a somber discussion about abortion in the school common room
"Cheer up. Big Tits"
Oh dear.
Could it be because...
...she bears more than a passing resemblance to Barbara Bain from Mission Impossible and Space 1999?
You know what?
you are right:
More like
Zelda from Terrahawks
kirstie allsopp
She makes me want to lick the telly.
It's the voice and the Mumsiness.
And Hannah of this parish of course.
Imagine the cakes!
Allsopp
I've just posted in another thread about her. She is my dream woman.
* glove slap *
Duelling pistols at dawn Sir?
I've lived outside Britain for the past 23 years,
so I've no idea who Kirstie Allsopp is.
Hang on a minute, I'll just google her name, and so I can see who we're talking about.
Oh my goodness.
Hubba, and furthermore, hubba.
*blushes*
Thanks Doubleyoubee!
Hannah
Never met you but plenty of evidence that you are a sane and very funny person.
Kirstie Alsopp is neither. Seriously - What on earth is the appeal of a silly materialistic solipsistic Sloane? Formerly associated with a man whose chin was used for the early digging stages of the A3 tunnel near Hindhead.
Well in that case...
Looks like I should just adore Hannah so..
Smiley face
Isn't it about time Hannah created a cake recipe...
...for her friend? A Fenella Fudge Cake.
I know, I know, it's tiresome, it's obvious... but it's also a collossal barn door and the football's just sitting there in front of it...
Liza Tarbuck
She's fab.
And Julia Hartley-Brewer, I'm amazed to say.
It's no secret to those who know me...
Josie Lawrence
Me Too
She was reading the bedtime story on CBeebies the other night.
The FPO and I used to feel that
Tony Slattery had a painfully badly concealed crush on her during the classic early series of Whose Line ... don't blame him really
There are no secrets
which is why Mrs. Skirky asked with a knowing look whether I wanted to take Skirky Junior to Katy Ashworth's CBeebies roadshow.
Faye Fife & Gaye Advert
...will be seeing both within the next month...ah my little punky heart is beating...
Have you forgotten Ms Willcox?
She's touring again in the spring.
I am a fickle creature...
surprised you didn't bring up Cleo from March Violets too...
I was going to contact you about Toyah, how was it?
It went really well
So well that it looks like we'll be supporting her again in the spring. She's a really nice person too!!
If I mentioned Cleo, then I'd have to mention Deborah Conway and then quite a few others.
Great...errr...does this mean I might be able to
trouble you for a backstage introduction...?! Oooh, I've gone all faint at the thought...
Of course
Trouble away and I'll see what I can do.
Jenny Lewis
The looks, the voice, bingo....
the songs
wonderful stories
I wasn't going to join in but
Sue Perkins.
Smart and funny and impishly gorgous.
Not that she'd care.
Sue Perkins...
I agree with Slick
Me too.
Mary Portas
I find her very alluring. She's strict.
Not sure she'd be that bothered though...
There was a big feature in the paper recently about MP and her civil partner - female, needless to say.
Same goes
for Sue Perkins above too. According to Rhona Cameron.
Doesn't really matter....
For SP I already had "dim, unfunny, and not impishly gorgous" going against me.
My SO wouldn't be impressed either.
Rebecca Front
She's a winning combination of clever, funny AND serious, creative, also an excellent singer and songwriter (in her early years anyway). Been in lots of great TV and has a good Twitter feed.
Crikey!
I'm with you there! Never was a shoes person before...

Hmmmm
...not sure why my post got here 3 times! IPad stroke WIFi issues methinks!
Stroke issues
.... no I best leave it there....
I just knew
Someone would say that...But it's perfectly normal you know...
The difference between men and women
I suspect most women would be looking at the shoes - men would usually be looking somewhat higher.
The Word Birds
There I've said it.
I wish more would come out and play at the meet-ups. They're always the first and last word in fun and are guaranteed to add a few extra springs in my step by the end of the night.
I just love the company of women with an opinion. Must be why I married one.
You've...
... covered all your angles there - well done.
Extra cake for Bisto at the next mingle!
If I can't have Fenella Fielding-
and, let's face it, I can't- I'd settle for travelling back in time and meeting Francois Hardy. Rubbish singer of course. But otherwise perfect.
Set the controls for 1990
Dead Dave, Everyone's Dead
There's only dog's milk left...
What, Everybody - Even Chen?
Dead Dave, Everybody's dead, Dave, Everybody's dead,... Dave.
Raquel Martinez
Spanish newsreader I fell in love with this summer, hanging on her every word, even though I didn't have a clue what she was rabbiting on about in her foxy, breakneck, machine gun, Spanish chitter-chatter.
Scorchio!
Sharleen Spiteri
Who wouldn't want to share that bed with her?
me
..
(sometimes feel a down arrow would be a usefult thing)
Good!
I get to keep her for myself!
Is this story worth an up then?
Yes
..
If any of these ladies are free tomorrow night...
... then I can offer a luxury evening at my local.
Guinness, pork scratchings, rubbish football chat, possibly a game of darts and - towards the end of proceedings - a healthy debate into who was the best out of the Hey Jude Hitmakers.
Save you,some time
George, John, Ringo and Paul is the correct order.
WHAAAAT?
Paul, Ringo, George and John is the correct order! DUH!
Only if listing least good first
and even then you've got george and john in the wrong places.
Duh !
WHAAAAAAT?! #2
Explain to me in what possible rational universe Paul McCartney is the least good Beatle?
(It's possible we're wandering off topic here)
Make a list
of all the really good Beatles songs post their boy band start
Notice that George wrote most of them, followed by John.
Recall that Ringo was significantly less up his own posterior than Paul. Recall that you agree with John on his assessment of Paul's "Granny music".
This give George, John, Ringo, Paul.
This is the shorter version of the argument - I was trying to save you some time.
Hope that helps.
Um. OK.
If we say for the sake of argument that their "boy band start" finished with - what? - Help? A Hard Day's Night? - then that means that you think most of the good songs on Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper, The White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be were by John or George?
Yeah. OK. I guess we'll have to agree to differ there.
OK
I made a list of all the really good Beatles songs after the album Help!
I didn't notice that George wrote most of them.
Paul was no more or less up his own posterior than John or George. The counter argument is that because Paul wasn't up his own backside as much as the other song-writers the band actually managed to make some music after '66/'67.
"Granny Music" by Paul during that period includes:
Drive My Car
Penny Lane
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Getting Better
Magical Mystery Tour (arguably the best outro to any Beatles song)
Back in the U.S.S.R.
Helter Skelter
The Abbey Road medley
Get Back
George only...
... wrote two good songs (Something and WMGGW) and one of them is a dirge that required a good McCartney piano intro and Clapton to make it even vaguely interesting.
Taxman
is a great Harrison song.
Aided and abetted by a superbly ungrannyesque McCartney guitar solo.
Yes...
... I forgot "Taxman" - that's a good one. I also think "It's All Too Much" is very ahead of it's time - sounds like early 90's baggy music - doesn't really get much of a mention.
Good call
I love the the way the drums are high in the mix.
Taxman's way ahead of it's time
You could have released it in 1980 and it would have hit number one.
Cheeky Sod!
Come back to me when you've written "Going Underground" - P Weller
In fairness to Mr Weller...
He also wrote a couple of corkers in You Can't Hurry Love and Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag.
Fine originals made into classics
by a sprinkling of the ole Woking stardust. Thanks for the ..er compliment - PW
I think generally
Lennon needed McCartney (and the others) to realise his ideas a lot more than McCartney needed Lennon, much as I feel many of the highest points of their ventures were Lennon originated. I do reckon you can argue for a Lennon song as the best track on every album except Abbey Road - Harrison gets that accolade. But you can also argue for a McCartney track too just as well. Rubber Soul and after I would also mention She's Leaving Home and Eleanor Rigby. But then on Revolver you get And Your Bird Can Sing, which is hard to beat from Lennon. Sgt Pepper has less Lennon quality fare - but, A Day In The Life, his work on that is remarkable surely. And on the White Album he comes back strongly without so much McCartney help, so, both men great I think in the end?
oh who gives a F**K?
This thread is about crumpet. Take this Beatles argument somewhere else. Everyone knows Lennon was the most naturally talented of the four, though SuperMac gained control of the band's artistic output from 1967 onwards and his songwriting dominated the late period albums. John was frying his brain on acid and generally losing the plot by then. The other two were integral to the band's sound, contributed ideas from time to time but neither were virtuoso musicians and were inferior songwriters to both John and Paul
But anyway enough of all that. Lets get back to the two greatest syllables in the English language -" pussy"
Nice
"Crumpet", "pussy": has alcohol been imbibed Mr 43? Or have I stumbled into the Nuts blog by accident?
nope
stone cold sober. both are familiar colloquial terms used to capture the essence of this thread, attractive females. no offence intended.
Miaow
"Pussy" is a colloquial term used to capture the essence of an attractive woman? And there was me thinking it was a term for female genitalia used to objectify women. No offence intended.
It's just a digression within a thread
you can just ignore or not. Yet you prolong what you disapprove of. No need to be arsey. Your opinion on the matter is no more valid tham any other. I just added some comments after drinking a few glasses of wine and not thinking too much about it. What's the problem?
Okay, to get back on topic:
Barbara Bach
Patti Harrison
A-ha!
Have you seen that episode of Alan Partridge, where Alan goes to the country club and tries to start up a bit of risque 'lad talk' with the disinterested clientele?
I have.
"I'm off to read Simon Heffer. On the veranda."
Agree.
Paul is always first. Without him they'd have just wasted their time watching telly for most of the 60s.
Or...
... on some magazine-related blog, had such a thing existed then.
The Barnsley Nightingale
You know, I'd imagine that Kate Rusby wouldn't be averse to a couple of pints of foaming bitter, as she's a true Yorkshire lass, etc.
I don't know whether she's an expert on the HJH, but she could probably debate the merits of the Kinks, given her fine cover version of "Village Green Preservation Society".
Good arrows
I have a hunch she might be a cracking darts player, too.
We also have a bit of a games night - several drunken couples bringing in Operation or Buckaroo or whatever, for nowt but the sake of silliness. She'd be up for that, I reckon.
Who is the lady bottom right?
Nice.
Who are most of them?
Actually.
I know three...
the very good actress from Doctor Who whose name escapes me, Kate Rusby and Tom Cruise's sister.
And Dexter's sister
Actually, step sister .. and in real life they're a couple. This is why I didn't watch Dexter series 5 (short review 'disappointing') with my girlfriend, who has not seen the other 4. I would have spent all the time explaining who people are.
Oh, and 'very good actress'? Truly love is blind. Lovely though she undoubtedly is Freema Ageyman is a bloody awful actor. OOAA.
I've only ever seen her in Doctor Who...
and I thought she was good in that. And I don't fancy her, so my impressions are untainted by lust.
I'm the other way around!
I found her so easy on the eye in Who that I wished she'd stop trying to act at just let me gaze at her.
While you're there, based on the I am Kloot coincidence over on the iPod thread I've just listened to all of yours I could find on Spotify. The Clientele track is fab.
Eh?
I think we've got some crossed wires here. I am Kloot? Clientele?
Right you are - it was someone else enirely
Wine has been taken.
They are...
Kate Rusby, Dexter's sister, Freema Agyeman
Audrey Tautou, Penelope Cruz, Lisa Hannigan
Rusby
is a flippin goddess.
In no particular order
Tina Fey, Rachel Riley & Lucy Worsley.
Obviously I wouldn't swap Mrs D for any of them. You never know when she might start reading the blog.
well
I wouldnt swap my GLW for any other women on the plant. But I like to take the line that this is an active choice, rather than just complacency. So I think it is my duty to regularly consider all the options and then choose her. That's my excuse.
Can I nominate Paul Wright's wife?
[inserts huge smiley as some might take offence at obvious gag]
I watch al jazeera
just to see Anita McNaught.
Selina Scott
She stood in for Wogan on his early evening chat show at some point in the late '80's. While interviewing Les Dawson she sat back in her chair and flicked her long blond hair about and kept on crossing her legs.
Holy. Christ.
Daisy Goodwin (I think it's Goodwin), an ITN News reporter. The most astonishing eyes. And other er... bits.
I have been in
love with Nathalie Baye ever since she starred in A girl from Lorraine. The years have passed but she's still as lovely as ever.
Kristen Wiig from Bridesmaids
Funny and Hot..
I watched...
... Bridesmaids last night (it was alright) and I wouldn't have recognised her from this picture.
Come and inspect my extension
Something about TV property shows - Amanda Lamb:
Only Connect the dots...
Rachel Riley was a good call, but I can't believe we're a coupla dozen posts into this thread and no-one's mentioned Victoria Coren. Blimey.
Meow
(adopts Leslie Phillips voice)
Ding dong!
Ditto
I too was surprised we got this far without the lovely Miss Coren.
Only Connect (and preceding University Challenge on Beeb2) are my only religiously-watched programmes at present.
She has her charms...
but someone has drawn on her face.
Does the appearance of this pic
invoke some variant of Godwin's Law, at this point in the thread?
Leotard
Don't we need someone to post that bloody horrible picture of Kate Bush in a leotard before we reach that point?
well, just for variety
How about a few pictures instead:
Mmmm
I'm nineteen again. Magnificent.
Coren's corollary
to Godwin's law ?
.

This thread may get very dodgy...
..but it's Friday night and I've had a drink....goes without saying that Helen Mirren would call and I would follow in a heartbeat. But....recently Zoe Ball could give her a fight...
OK then...
I have a thing about tennis players. In particular, Slovakian firecracker Dominika Cibulkova, just about the shortest player in the top 100, and a damn good player at that. There was a picture of her canoodling with good looking millionaire fellow tennis pro Jurgen Melzer, but I'm going to pretend I didn't see that...
Clare "CP" Grogan
I could be happy. Then or now.
surely - there is only
Audrey Fleurot
From The West Wing to Weeds
Mary Louise Parker
Here's a bit more (of) MLP
I used to have lightswitches like that.
.
I used to have...
a pie dish like that. Never had a rump like that though.
display
An old girlfriend said to me about Whitney Houston in a swimsuit on the front of an album "if I looked liked that I'd show off too". MLP is allowed the same I think.
Oh, absolutely
If I looked like MLP I'd bake in the buff too. And probably shop in the buff, just for the hell of it.
I think...
... that pie dish has a crack in it.
*bites tongue*
.
I keep coming back to look at that picture.
It is downright indecent.
I shall have to check it several more times just to make sure how indecent it is.
Give me a minute, will you?
I post this ...
.... not just because it's a lovely song but also because since I bought the CD some years ago I've been in love with the girl on the cover. I stare at this cover for hours. Soft bastard.
She's gorgeous!
(said with a 'Gregory's Girl' accent)
Who is she?
Bathers
Mr Topaz, haven't checked out who the lady is, yet, but thought I had some idea about Scottish 80s+ bands. Wrong!!
How did I miss Bathers? "If love could last" is hitting the right notes with me [must be an age thing] and has made me want more of their stuff.
Thank you for listing it. Just goes to show how random browsing can pay dividends.
Back to topic in hand [so to speak]... Laura Cantrell is my candidate. Saw her do a Celtic Connections gig last January. 130 people in the small Recitial Room in Glasgow City Halls. Front row- 2 metres away. Blue Grass has never looked better! I know, there's also Rhonda Vincent, Alison Krauss [-a great gig in Glasgow last week], Carrie Rodriguez, but L.C. does it for me, in a musical sense, obviously.
Laura Cantrell ...
.... with you there. Saw her at Dingwalls a few years ago and she was mesmerising.
Debbie Harry
Smart. Funny. Sexy. Was beside her backstage at Ramones gig in 1980. Skin like porcelain. Couldn't breathe.
Liza Tarbuck
Sultry young temptress.
She has such a great laugh.
It's sort of wicked and filthy but funny. She should have her own radio show instead of filling in for others when they're on holiday.
Liza T
As it has become
just a women I adore thread then of course it's Rachel Riley. Go to Youtube and have a vowel and wait for her to say "thank you" with a little bend at the knees.
No no no no no no no no no
Look, this is all too simple. What about the women with difficult personal histories? The ones with a trauma buried deep in their psyche that makes commitment difficult? The ones you would fall for horribly but in the end, it would never work and it would take forever to get over the heartbreak? Alphabetically...
Deirdre (of the Sorrows)
Lee Miller (see an earlier post, long way up there ^)
Willow Rosenberg (the character from Buffy)
Sarah Silverman (see Dec issue of the mag for more details)
River Song (the character from Doctor Who)
Yes, I know I should seek help...
PJ Harvey
How could I forget her...lol
I have written on here before...
about my fantasy involving a run down cottage in a forest, a mug of ale, a naked Polly Harvey and a black cat. I think once was enough.
...
You sneaked into her forest cottage, drank her mug of ale, her black cat got startled and went 'Maiow!' which prompted Polly Jane to scamper out of the shower, naked, grab her phone and call the police?
That fantasy?
Lily Pop from Cheeky comic 1979
Strewth...
The snail echoes my feelings exactly.
Blimey that brings back the memories
Before I was a subscriber to The Word, Cheeky Weekly was my poison...
Well...
Since the high-point of Children In Need was an intervention by The Muppets, I'm going to have to plump for Miss Piggy.
She's certainly preferable to Tess sodding Daly.
Sarah Alexander
Yep, that's about it.
Heavens!

Actually I fancy Julie Christe something rotten, so my theory falls to the floor at this point.
At this point to be exact:
Julie Christie
is heartbreakingly, gut-wrenchingly, collapse on floor, beautiful in 'Billy Liar'. One of my favourite ever films.
Great shout with her and the stunning Diana Rigg in 'The Avengers' days.
If we're
talking Avengers girls, I'll have Linda Thorson thanks.
Bit of a week for comebacks - Sofie Gråbøl on Saturday, Kate today and the lovely Charlotte Uhlenbroek on ITV tomorrow.
Rita Tushingham
The sad news about Shelagh Delaney has reminded me I fancied Rita Tushingham when I watched 'A Taste of Honey' a few years ago.

Not a secret. Except to her. I know she's 9 years older than me, but I would (probably) drop everything for her. Not in a stalkery way, but I'd love to collaborate with her. She has a beautiful voice, lilting Irish accent, plays a mean rhythm guitar (with mix of black and white pegs like me!), seems to be a genuinely lovely person in interviews and is visually stunning.
Plus I've written songs that would go well with her voice. So if anyone's got her number, you know where I am.
Thanks.

She
(sometimes) lives in the apartment block behind my house. Caused one of my mates to almost crash his car at one point.
Sometimes?
Is that because of touring or because she's a part time hobo? You learn something new every day.
And did she almost cause a crash because of the pretty face or just because she shot out one of his tyres? The plot thickens...

OK....
Some very good calls (Susannah Reid, Victoria Coren in particular. This year's Children In Need with the female newcasters dancing and the Only Connect special was pretty good couple of nights for me!)
I would like to add Una Stubbs, whom I've really only just started to appreciate - she looks amazing in some of those old 'Cliff' shows from the the 70's and is ageing very gracefully.
And I've always had a thing for Sofie Allsop who I think is a lot sexier than her sister.
Don't tell my wife!
Tell the truth
Your newfound appreciation of Una Stubbs is cos you read on another thread that she's dirrrty and does it in toilets...
Well...now that you mention
Well...now that you mention it.....
Ah Natascha
Easily the best looking woman in the entire universe. Those eyes, that hair. Just stunning.
She is lovely.
Her husband, Martin Kelly, died suddenly of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, as did my father. My father was 65. Martin Kelly was only 43.
Martin Kelly was a craniofacial surgeon of amazing talent. He spent some of his time in private clinics tidying up the faces of the rich in exchange for quite staggering sums of money, some of his time working on the NHS and some of his time spending large proportions of his private earnings to take his team abroad to help reassemble the disease, trauma and genetically ravaged faces of children in the third world.
He was a great man.
Natascha McElhone has written and spoken widely about the trauma of her loss.
So sad ...
had heard of him, but not that news.
So glad now I didn't make any cheap David Duchovny-related jokes as had been planning to.
This week it's Karine Vanasse
of "Pan Am":
though it amuses me that her magnificently Quebecois accent, undisguised in the series, is meant to be French ...
New to me but very nice
Irish cricketer Eimear Richardson - lovely eyes!
Funny and sexy
Ronni Ancona. That is all.
Yes. Yes. And Yes.
I thought it was just me. Man, she is actually BEAUTIFUL. She is like a cross between the best bits of Audrey Hepburn and Chrissie Hynde.
Got into trouble last weekend with the GLW
for saying 'Hubba Hubba', when Lorraine Pascale appeared on the screen. She could make my bread rise anytime..............
Happy
I am in the happy position of secretly adoring someone at work for several years and then marrying her, and here we are, 17 years later. But entering into the spirit of the thread, I always had a thing for Sally Thomsett as a lad.
Ps I posted this once before and someone responded with one of the funniest things I've seen here. Forget who.
Twang....
you had a thing for Sally Thomsett as a lad? Kinky!
Oh.... I get it now.
Oddly enough
I think it was the teeth!
Ok
I'm now officially worried.
I haven't read all this thread . . .
. . . but if any of you have mentioned the lovely Stevie Nicks (circa 1976) I shall have to ask you to step outside !
One more from me
Amy Lawrence
WHOA!
That made me do a double-take and a half.
That's my sister's name. Unless... you really are in love with my sister?!?!
Well...
Is she the Observer's deputy football correspondent?
You are not in love with my sister.
The swine!
Leave it Hannah - he's not worth it.
Rosanna Arquette - And, no, I'm not going to apologise for song

Nor should you.
Wonderful, uplifting song played by some of the best musicians on the planet. What's to apologise for?
