Who makes your flesh crawl?

David Attenborough, John Humphreys, Richard Dawkins.

A facebook post once asked which man/men would you like to keep in a cupboard. Deciding that they must be useful as well as eye candy , my 3 were;
Gino de Campo to do the cooking (but i pressed send before I realised I had left an 'o' out of cooking !!!!)
Diarmuid Gavin to do the Garden
George Clark to renovate the house !!!

and George Clooney is welcome any time !!!!

I believe Alan Titchmarsh is still available!

Most of the Classic FM presenters seem to have a smirk in their voices, if you see what I mean.

Sorry about Monty, chaps, but I'm he's just that little bit too smiley; like John Suchet on Classic FM - it's like being drowned in warm marshmallow! I like my gardeners with a bit more of a rough edge! Unfortunately, all the horny handed toilers of television yore appear to be dead now.

How could I have forgotten Clarkson and Morgan?

Jeremy Clarkson , Piers Morgan and most of the antique experts on Dickinson's Real Deal

Anyone who's over obsequious! Reminds me of Uriah Heap!

Don't worry about George Anagram I was the other side of the fence to catch him !!!

Threw him Anagram? I gently tipped him, although I did fall off the ladder and he dropped quite a few feet, but that wasn't deliberate. Ooops!

I don't think his back would be up to it after you threw him over Jack's fence, Carol!

I didn't know Mr Tumble was gay - or perhaps it's just Justin Fletcher who is?

Converted to what kitty? And George? I thought George was straight, and if Mr Tumble is gay, he is a great find for some lucky gay man! Actually, I think George might be entering a period of celibacy after the weekend he's just endured enjoyed with me and jack.

That's good to hear about Ricky Tomlinson - the fact that he raises money quietly for the Children's Hospice, glamma. He's definitely gone back up in my estimation now. I once bought some gammon steak things from Farmfoods and they were AWFUL!! They were so salty, that I had to boil them first - and they were still horrid !

I too love Mr Tumble - but, ladies, do you think he needs to be converted? Maybe George does too, (ducks behind sofa, quick) My sons had a French teacher who was a real loss to womankind, too!

On the subject of creeps - Robert Peston is my number one - yuck!

while I remember-have you noticed how BBC presenters smirk obsequiesly when any royals are mentioned-reminds me of Mr Collins in Pride and Prejudice.

Please, ladies, no unseemly fighting over Monty Don - you were bad enough about George Clooney!

Mony Don???? He's fabulous! My ideal man - a bit rustic looking, handy around the garden and very laid back

Howls of protest! Not Monty Don, Arty! A useful man who's easy on the eye? What's not to like?

I can't bear to be in the same room when Alex Salmond is on TV - and Monty Donn.

I can't always give a reason for finding someone creepy - it is just instinct sometimes.
I don't trust men with soft, plump hands, for example - might be a throwback to the feelings I had about a lot of priests in my childhood.

So agree about the ads annobel they are pretty dreadful who on earth wants 3 bags of skinny see through pork chops!!!

Good for you, glamma. I am sure that many of the people we have mentioned do have this side to them that we don't know about. I have no strong objection to Ricky Tomlinson except for his Farm Foods advertisements which I think are pretty horrible.

My hubby has a ''list'' ...forunately we agree on most but we are not allowed to watch a number of TV programmes........let's add ;
Chris Tarrant and Nick Knowles (and the way he says .....'thousand pounds !!!')

Isn't it lovely to be a ''Grumpy Old Woman'' and not give a damn !!!!

So many people that you don't think of until you read the posts,and I agree with a vast majority of them,Ricky Tomlinson seems to have two sides to him the actor/comedian side which can be very close to the bone when it comes to his humour depending how you take the content,and the very different compassionate side which supports the local Childrens Hospice here on The Wirral with his very generous support, he is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to his charity work which he does without too much publicity.

greatnan I am loving this thread! I thought I was unusual in my intolerance, but I agree with practically every one of the posts. Most of us are grumpy old women when we want to be I suspect. It is quite entertaining to be bitchy sometimes. Butter wouldn't melt at other times of course!
