He's doing Open House at the moment. Did some shows with Dom whatsit. Buy or not to buy . Tall, skinny, campish. If you took him home to your mum, she'd love him, everyone would love him - nice boy. I reckon he ties himself up at night and has keyboard sex!!!!

No, that's not the one...American Psycho and Batman.......

What about Jeremy Paxperson?

Are you seduced by his intellect and personality, or by the (alleged) fact that his M&S underwear is unable to cope :eek: ?

He's so intimidating that everyone he interviews shuts up shop as their first defence, and even when they start to talk he interrupts them anyway as a macho way of imposing himself on the viewer. So I never find out anything from the person he is interviewing . He should be sacked as an incompetent.

We need a clever woman with much more subtlety to tease out ideas from our politicians, IMHO.

I find grand designs irritating too. We get all these, "are they going to make it, oh what a mess, I dont think its working" and then at the end he enthuses poetically about the place whatever it looks like.

Well, he does always try to find something positive to say but that's good manners seeing as how the owners go the the trouble to accommodate the TV crew during a stressful building process.

If he doesn't like it, he makes makes it clear. Yes there are a few IMO awful designs but you can't expect everyone to have the same taste. There are a lot of genuinely inspiring designs where people really make a great home to live in.

personally, if my OH started dribbling over a minor celeb and let me know it I'd tell her to leave and take her chances.

your OH should be happy with what he's got.

Relationship rules:

#1 Deny you find any person other than your partner attractive.
#2 Make sure you're not open and honest with your partner.
#3 Actually it's probably best to not discuss any of your feelings whatsoever...

Ah but if you feel secure in your relationship, there is no need to lie.

#4 Marry someone you actually find attractive so yo don't need to lie and they don't need to feel threatened?

Seems obvious to me.

Paxo's yuck too.

I'll third the Ian Hislop - can't say I do fancy him, but I'd kind of like to - great personality and brain, admire him a lot.

But Paul Merton's cuter.

Paul Merton in India has been a fantastic series.

No, you need Louis Theroux IMHO that butter wouldn't melt face as he teases confessions on some of the oddest characters on the planet. I would love to see him doing newsnight..

God, I remember him in the deep red neck south trying to get a homophobic gun toter who had mentioned he watched Are you Being served to do the "Im free" catchphrase of Mr Humphreys. He took some chances didnt he. Going to the equivalent of our NF headquarters and the guy there suddenly said he looked Jewish and chased him off. Brave or foolish bloke, never sure.
