Eye candy

It's the voice that does it for me, along with the big brown eyes. I'm talking about the MP for the Western Isles and have to admit to avidly watching PMQ's to catch a glimpse

Can I throw another one into the mix? Having been watching Kangaroo Dundee, Chris 'Brolga' Barnes who runs the kangaroo sanctuary in Australia is absolutely lovely (IMHO). It's not just his good looks but the tender way he looks after the kangaroos and carries the joeys around in pouches with their heads sticking out is so endearing. A real man.

Oh yes, KatyK. Have just been watching this series on iplayer. Brolga is an amazing man and rather fanciable.

...and looking for a wife I believe ....

Envious; Cillian looks far more sinister in films/tv series etc. He also plays in a band and has the most wonderful Irish accent [with the voice to go with it]. He's also, for all his gorgeousness, a father of two boys and a devoted husband which I find incredibly attractive. Andrew Marr was one of my secret crushes [don't google him; he's the polar opposite and not at all pretty!] until it was in the news that he'd cheated on his wife.

I quite like that Matt Baker from the One Show and CountryFile. Rather more age appropriate eye candy for me would be Paxo of course. While we're on the subject though could somebody please enlighten me as to the supposed appeal of Andrew Marr. Interesting to listen to, yes. Attractive? Not so much.

Yes I agree Brolga is a lovely man and the Aussie accent is divine. But my main one is Monty Don. Nice to watch too particularly with that straw hat on.

Have to confess that the rather rumpled looking (in the GN photo) of Michael Moseley had a certain appeal. You lot are going to shout me down aren't you now...
Can't see the appeal of the granite jawed types like young Snow and Tristram Hunt. Although I can see that they are conventionally handsome.

I drool over Jules Hudson on Escape to the Country. Also love Paxo, and David Dimbleby....

I like Jules. He has that ruddy cheeked, farmer's son look about him AND he can ride a horse

Monty Don is still on my list.

I am amazed that there are still some raging hormones around judging by this thread. I think mine died a long time ago because I really couldn't be doing with the bother of fancying a bloke after all this time. The only person I might make an exception for is Kevin off Grand Designs.....or maybe Leonard Cohen

But come to think of it, naaah, too much effort. I'd rather have a good book and a cuppa. (Boring? What, me?)

I only drool from a distance! Not sure I would want one up close and personal now!

Don't even drool nowadays henetha! I'm more likely to drool over a dog or a chocolate cake

Tegan I am with you there about David Buck. He did die young, at only 53. I think he died of cancer.

David Buck (17 October 1936 – 27 January 1989)

Raging hormones on Gransnet, nightowl? Nothing wrong with wishful thinking.

No hormones involved; just a desire to find myself having a conversation with said dishy person and having them interested in what I was saying and not being put off by my being old [it does happen with men; they hang on every word spoken by young attractive ladies, I find]. No hanky panky involved. The biggest fantasy would be to have a conversation with Paxman and for him to think I had a slight grain of intelligence [although I'd be so nervous the verbal diarrhea that I'm prone to would kick in ].I think that was also the reason for Andrew Marr being my secret crush.

Nothing wrong with raging hormones at all merlot, it's just that I seem to have mislaid mine sometime after the millennium .

I agree about not being listened to Tegan. I find myself becoming ever more invisible (and inaudible) these days. I'm afraid women are as likely to ignore me as men. Annoying.

Better bump this up or it will look as if we're all ignoring each other !

Tegan

I hadn't even noticed I was being ignored. How bad is that?

How about Aneurin Barnard who played The Duke of Gloucester/Richard lll in The White Queen ?

Yum. He is 10 yrs younger than my DS though.

My hormones are no long raging either but I still know a good looking bloke when I see one.

Oh Nellie he is b****y gorgeous, younger than my two darlings sons . I have always had a thing for dark good looking men.

Sook hands off I saw him first.

Just watched Martin Shaw on the Alan Titchmarsh show. Looking better than ever (Martin not Alan).
