The French version of the WI calendar, of special interest to womenfolk?!

When I saw the piglet it brought to mind the film, Deliverence, when he said: squeal piggy squeal.

What a coincidence. I was just going to post in another thread that if everyone's middle name was where they were conceived, my eldest would be called Carcassonne.

Erm er, yes. The Dieux de Stade was always a huge hit with the French gay community. I'm off to check out all the other links in this thread now.

I may be some time......

Day6 no, you are not alone, beefcake does nothing for me either.
I remember a friend's son who had done well in competitions for Mr Whatever demonstrating his muscles but I find it quite offputting.

Leaves me cold too, give me a man in an evening suit and bow tie any day and even better if he is wearing rimless spectacles.

I find the mind sexier than the body. There's simply no contest.

Wobblybits Sat 03-Dec-16 07:47:56

Luckgirl. your Asda must be different from ours, a summers day means, vests, beer bellies and hairy armpits.

Disgruntled Sat 03-Dec-16 09:08:16

Yep, definitely the mind over the body for me. I didn't get as far as the piglet, but did wonder how many of them are heterosexual....A sharp wit, a well constructed sentence - they turn me on.

well i enjoyed the calendar! now undecided whether to find it on amazon and buy it or move to france!!
even if they're not farmers they're a sight for sore eyes and i would enjoy this hanging on the wall - maybe in my bedroom where my grandaughters don't go!!
reminds me of the chippendales - did any of you go to their shows? i went to several and enjoyed them - even got to go up on the stage once and [shock, horror] got my hands on a chippendale where not many get their hands!!!

One appeared on my FB page of young French farmers semi clothed. Oo la la

Farmers round here (N Yorkshire) never get their flat caps off, let alone their kit.

Welshwife Sat 03-Dec-16 10:29:38

Our Fireman haven't been round yet with their calendars. They put photos of everyone in full uniform but also some of the fires and crashes they attended during the year! The calendar is no good for putting appointments etc on though - is wrong sort of paper to write on and squares too small!

If only the nuns who taught me were still alive I'd send it to them for Christmas!

David1968 Sat 03-Dec-16 11:04:03

Ooh la la!

goldengirl Sat 03-Dec-16 12:06:30

Don't think the farmers around here look quite the same envy

Conni7 Sat 03-Dec-16 12:28:50

At least there aren't many tattoos. I hate tattoos.

Brigidsdaughter Sat 03-Dec-16 13:50:54

I like the dog walker too. Most natural one. Fit but not like a gym bunny. Also like the long hair - spoilt by the Pose!

I too like brains/mind over body but a bit of self care helps too.

MargaretX Sat 03-Dec-16 16:24:08

Left me quite cold. if you want to see men with nothing on you can go to a mixed sauna in Germany.
Tryin to hold up a boiler suit in a sexy(?) manner looks awful.

HannahLoisLuke Sat 03-Dec-16 16:47:59

My favourite is the chap with the horse. Now I'm going to check out the firemen calendar. Thanks ladies and Happy Christmas x

annifrance Sat 03-Dec-16 16:52:49

Well sitting here in France profonde and one of the poorest departements in France (Ariege) and very rural/agricultural, none of the local farmers resemble any of those in the calendar! And the pompiers calendar doesn't cut the mustard either.

Superopa Sat 03-Dec-16 21:04:40

Well having read the above threads i think i will have to dig out my suit, although wearing it to Sainsburys and the library might make my wife suspicious.

Deedaa Sat 03-Dec-16 21:13:40

We went to an open day at an Italian firestation and all the firemen were very lovely, but sadly fully dressed.

anne53 Sat 03-Dec-16 23:15:11

Am married to a librarian and have just fallen off the sofa laughing at the thought of him on one of those calendars! He now wants to know what I'm laughing at. Oh dear. Better go and calm down.

harrigran Sat 03-Dec-16 23:48:07

My second home is opposite a fire station and I can watch the firemen coming and going but sadly there are no hunky specimens, they seem to be quite weedy considering the job they do. I have even seen them strip off their waterproof trousers when they have come back from a shout and that is an experience I don't wish to repeat shock

Lilyflower Sun 04-Dec-16 04:59:39

I agree with those posters on this thread who do not like beefcake. I prefer thin, elegant, sensitive souls! I think the sexiest thing a man possesses is his brain. Obviously, everyone needs to keep in trim!

Luckygirl Sun 04-Dec-16 10:23:27

These pics are doing nothing for me - they look barely human. Does this mean I am over the hill!? Sigh.
