Brad Pitt is not good looking, he has terrible skin and looks like he needs a bath.
Julian Clary, lovely.
I expect he moisturises regularly
Many years ago, I saw him performing in London, with ***** the Wonder Dog: he called himself the Joan Collins Fan Club in those days. I laughed so much, I nearly wet myself.
Brilliant man.
I really don't know why but Richard Osman from pointless. If you was to ask me why, I really couldn't give you an answer, there's something there but haven't got a clue what
Me too. I've given this a lot of thought and I still can't quite get why I crush on him and not on the boyish Xander.
Incidentally, talking of Leonard Cohen....
Many years ago (must have been in the mid 1980's) Mrs hay-char and I were island-hopping in the Saronic Gulf. Just ourselves, a couple of backpacks and a few drachma. Our main treat most days was to go down to the waterfront of wherever we had got to and have a frappé megala at a café or bar, looking out at the boats. We ended up in Hydra which is a stark, rocky but very beautiful island: very popular with the better off, as evidenced by the cost of eating out, and the names above the shops along the quayside. One morning, we were drinking our frappés when we saw a curious procession consisting of several women (very attractive ones as I could tell, right up to the moment when I got a slap from Mrs h-c for checking) clutching bunches of gladioli and escorting a tall, slim figure dressed all in black. There was something very familiar about him and, after a few minutes, we both realised that it must have been Laughing Len himself - he had a small place on Hydra and I think the photos on the back of the sleeve of "Songs From a Room" were taken there. Many years later I read an interview with him, where he talked about his house there and mentioned that he hadn't visited it for years: I think the occasion when we saw him must have been one of the last times he went to the Island.
I seem to have a gift for recognising idols of mine just after they disappear from sight. I was a great admirer of James Cameron (the late BBC and Guardian journalist, not the Director of "Titanic") and I had a holiday job working as a receptionist at a learned society. One evening he came in, accompanied by his wife who was an extremely attractive Indian woman. I was so busy staring at her (do you see a common thread here?) that I only realised who he was as he left the place. Within two or three years he had died .
Skiathos is nice. We spent a fortnight sailing in the Sporades a few years back and started out there, though the boat was moored at the airport end of the harbour, near a lot of the noisier clubs, so sleep was a bit hard to come by. The other islands in the group are fabulous and little harbours like Steni Vala and Panormos are difficult to access except by boat hence very peaceful. Added to which, the sailing is spectacular: one of my favourite groups of islands.Oh wow - I'm very jealous of you seeing Leonard Cohen in Hydra. I've seen some documentaries on him and it looks so beautiful there. We love Greece and have been going to Skiathos for the last six years or so. He was due to perform at the Hope Farm near us, so I booked tickets and was SO excited! At the (relatively) last minute he cancelled and decided to play at Wembley. I think he saw that the Hop Farm literally is a muddy field of a farm and wussed out. We had the option to transfer the ticket to Wembley, but the main reason of seeing him at the Hop Farm was it would be small and fabulous so we didn't do it. Wembley? Not so much.
BTW - huge kudos to Mrs h-c for slapping you!

I have a friend who is a keen sailor and about the same height as your husband. He had the same boat for some years and got used to moving around down below without braining himself. He then bought a new yacht and within two weeks he ended up in A&E, having bashed his head on a hatchway. No serious damage except to his pride. One of his main criteria in choosing a boat is that at least one bunk has to be long enough to accommodate his dimensions - beds are often a bit constrained on a boat as your Hubs is probably only too aware
To be honest, however, the greatest danger of injury on a sailing boat comes from the boom (the spar attached to the foot of the mainsail) swinging violently across the cockpit in the event of a gybe (sorry - getting boringly yottily technical here; I'll give it a rest). I know of at least one case where someone has died as a result of such an injury. The forces involved in manoeuvring even a small-to-medium sized sailing boat are fairly considerable.
Beats me why I do it, tbh
Blimey, Leonard Cohen's popular! I WILL fight you all for him and I WILL use nails!
Oh boy, I've come over all unnecessary - better have a cold shower! I have to say I think he's still hot now - there's just something ooooh about him!I am going to Google.....................
Mmmmm, okay I agree with you LC lovers, very nice indeed
I take it you built the bed rather than the MoHo?! Also, I've presumed that's a motor home?@jay hay-char
@Pink_Minx
I hear what you say about height. at just over 6' 4", it was mission impossible trying to get a sub 3.5 tonne MoHo with tall enough beds, so I had to build it myself!
Back in my teens and before my pancreas decided it didn't want to work for me anymore, cadburys chocolate ran an advertisement on TV for a caramel bar. Well the main character was a cartoon rabbit, I can't remember if it was the voice or her general demeanour but I thought that **** rabbit was the sexiest thing on TV. Have watched it since and realise it was maybe due to teenage hormones. Weird enough?
Gets better me and the wife (no she's not a rabbit) always venture out for breakfast on Saturday mornings and at one particular cafe there's a woman who is Miriam's double and we was talking to her only yesterday. What a small world we live in. Thank heavens my crushes have changed for my wife and certain female presenters on sky sports TV.Hell, yeah! Do you know that Miriam Margolyes voiced that rabbit? Bet you think it's even weirder now!
