Random crushes

Steve Bell

David Attenborough

Bill Bailey


Heston Blumenthal

None of them are oil paintings. Two of them have beards. Hmmm....

They can all do stuff though.

Y tu? Who are your random crushes? Don't be shy.

Andrew Marr

Eddie Mair

Nick Knowles (and the plasterers from DIY SOS and Bob the builder - the one formerly on DIY SOS, not the other one!)

So I'm sorted on the current affairs/home improvement fronts. In fact there's probably a series in there just waiting to be made, which involves journalists skimming your walls, with hilarious consequences. Or something.

I WAS going to say Bill Bailey, but he, along with Dylan Moran and Simon Pegg, has something approaching god-like status in this house.

I've seen Steve Bell LIVE twice and fancied the pants off him both times. He gave talks about his cartoons and kept being wonderful and just getting the giggles. Irresistable, no?

Lucy Liu.

Charlotte Coleman.

Siouxsie Sioux.

Annabella Lwin.

Lisa Bonet.

Muriel Gray.

None of mine have beards, note.

Oh arse, forgot about the comment moderation, sorry Annie!

Lauren Laverne.

Lucy Liu.

Do I only like alliterative names?

Parminder Nagra.

No, apparently not.

Penelope Cruz.

You.

Annie said...

Louis Theroux and PJ Harvey

Tim F said...

Incidentally, Marsha, I think you're on a losing wicket with Eddie Mair.

But what's all this... Annie's got a lusty lurker...

Rad said...

Ooooh Annie's got an admirer. :D

I've got far too many random crushes to list. ;)

Jeremy Piven as well - LOVE HIM.

Uma Thurman

Uma Thurman

I've got a thing about Uma Thurman.

Alan said...

Kristen Scott-Thomas and Fiona Bruce are the only two I need!

Taiga the Fox said...

Sebastian Flyte [or whoever he really is].
Jean Reno.

Hmm, I have no particular interest in men born in 1948.
So I add one who is already dead:
Kurt Cobain.

Annie said...

Marsha - Andrew Marr? Little pixie man? Takes all sorts... My old flatmate had a thing for Nick Knowles too, fond memories of taking the piss out of her...

Bowleserised, oooh, lucky you. Intelligent, talented AND cute does it for me.

Tim, I like that Muriel Gray is included with the foxes.

Patroclus, he's proper clever. I never saw A History of Britain but would like to.

Anonymous, how nice. Bravo for de-lurking. I congratulate you on your great taste - but then, I am irresistible, and often get mistaken for Penelope Cruz. Not.

Annie, old Louis has a surprising sex symbol status, for all his geekiness. Must be the glasses. PJ is pretty foxy too.

Rad, oh go on, you know you want to.

Bad Sarah, ssshhh, don't tell the whole internets about your secret crush, you bad girl! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I am a bad friend, I didn't know...

Istvanski, I'm guessing you like those ads that Uma's on for digital TV then...

Hi Alan. Curious, they look a bit like sisters too.

Taiga, mmmmmmm, Jean Reno. The sexiest voice in the worrrrrld...
Poor old Kurt. He was a beauty.

Too late but I don't care.

Jon Pilkinghorn
Lino Ventura

patroclus said...

I'll challenge Arabella and Annie Rhiannon to a three-way duel (or 'thruel') over Simon Schama and Louis Theroux.

Arabella said...

Dawn. Handbags or driving gloves?

rockmother said...

Ok - we can take sides - I'll fight tooth and nail for Louis.

Andy Roddick (sorry, pathetic, I know), Zoran Djindjic (still not over his death), Steve Martin (a bit), Lawrence Dallaglio (a bit, though I'd be scared to act upon it)... and almost everyone really.

It's OK Tim, I'm aware that I'm unlikely ever to be Eddie Mair's type!
