    #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.

    That's far too sensible carolt, I think if you follow jamescredmond's head in the sand approach you'll be far better off.

    Don't marry Phil Spender whatever you do. Even if he isn't gay (highly unlikely), you might get saddled with half of his buy-to-let losses.

    Agree with CarolT.....My OH has a teeny bit of Johnny Depp essence and could be more Christain Bale in the muscles dept if he had more time to work out...suits me fine.;)
    I think he likes SB because we have similar attributes work wise....get on with the job + a bit of knwledge on what we are doing. Roll sleeves up etc

    I am also low maintenance (but actuallerry, I am a little unhappy with that status...I want (I want I want I want) salon hairdye, treatments, ugg boots, pro waxes and facials, eyelash extensions).

    Physically, I am nothing like her...tall, leggy, slim, not a lot under the jumper :o )

    And I am making an Indian (meal, that is) from scratch right this minute....bet SB can't do that too.....

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

    Can I just point out that I've not actually been seduced by Paxman at all?

    I remember Vesta curries. They were fab when they first came out. I preferred the chicken one to the beef one. I never had the paella though.

    FC123 - what curry are you making? They sure do have 101 bit of this, bit of that in them don't they! Pain in the bum trying to get all the ingredients together.

    If your OH has a bit of Johnny Depp about him, now you're talking! I do like a pretty boy. And so far everybody's listed some right mingers as being good looking.... I couldn't believe what bad taste has been expressed on this thread!

    Mmmmm, Johnny Depp.

    With you there. First sensible suggestion you've had.

    Apart from the curry.

    Who would you suggest, then?
