Watching the old ‘carry on’ films which I still love, but jeez, what did women see in Sid James?

Funny man & great actor, but by no stretch of the imagination was he good looking.
Or am I missing something?

There is only one actor I ever 'fancied' and that was Tom Cruise, first seen in 'Cocktail'.
There's no other celeb I'd cross the road to meet.
I've had dinner with Pierce Brosnan and others at the home of my then boss and partied with US actor Richard Bradford (Man In A Suitcase) at an IPC magazines 'do'.
Richard was ok and wrote letters to me in green 'proper' ink and put his initials REB over the seal of the envelope.
I remember mum taking the letters into work to show her friends.

I wonder if Lionel Blair can still dance? I think he can still tap a few steps - and was apparently self-taught!

Idris Elba:

Cader Idris:

Both rugged.

Just don't discuss religion with Tom Cruise, GabriellaG54!

A man that can make you laugh is like an aphrodisiac.

Maggiemaybe Sun 28-Apr-19 19:34:47

I think LTR usually means long term relationship, Lilypops?

Callistemon Sun 28-Apr-19 19:37:11

Gabriella grin

Lilypops Sun 28-Apr-19 23:39:42

Gabriella G54. LTR was in your comment of Friday 19th April 12.41'. You said "lately though in a LTR relationship I have found a certain professional"
I now know it means long term relationship ....
