For me, it would the late Jimmy Seville, Cliff Richards, John Redwood, John Prescott, the Pope, Noel Edmonds and Ricky Gervais and Putin and all the Republican presidential candidates.

Tony Blackburn. He never looks comfortable somehow....as if he's 'pretending' confused

Ah but Gally, he wouldn't be James May with a decent haircut. He probably does have a power shower - it's his scruffy image which is endearing - maybe it brings out the mum in me!

I feel I want to (s)mother Richard Hammond with those bush-baby eyes. Sometimes I think he is cute, but he can be irritating - but I blame the script writers!

Gally Wed 21-Mar-12 07:56:18

annobel I always think James May looks a bit unsavoury - nothing a good haircut and a power shower wouldn't put right though grin

I notice we all mostly can't stand Tony Blair and Jeremy Clarkson and they make me feel like hitting them in the back of their knees with a large stick switching off. hmm

Jane Fearnley-Whatsit is one of us isn't she??

Annobel Tue 20-Mar-12 21:19:39

And Michael Portillo - slimy. Remember that 'Portillo moment'?

And you can just mind your p's and q's Carol. I have a long memory.

Caggle Tue 20-Mar-12 20:38:00

I find Bryan Ferry repulsive, turns my stomach! Most of the other postings too I agree with, Jeremy Clarkson is totally obnoxious!

Carol Tue 20-Mar-12 20:24:59

Oi! jack I'm watching, you know! grin

Anagram Tue 20-Mar-12 20:19:19

Ooh, yes, jack, Andrew Neil.

And Diane Abbott.

Back to George Clooney. He only pretends to by gay (he revealed this when we were having our little tryst the other day) because it puts women off and he hates being mobbed. I can assure you all he is very much a MAN.

As for ghastly creepy people I really can't stand Andrew Neil. And I agree about so many other names mentioned on this thread.

I will now stay awake all night (see insomnia thread) compiling a long list of people I'd like to stick a pin in ...

Tosh, definitely cupboard men (actually I would prefer them round the table talking to me). I am interested only in a man's mind these days.

Faye Tue 20-Mar-12 19:47:27

I might add Delta Goodrem, I don't know if you have ever heard of this singer but I thought she was a lovely girl at first. Then I saw her on one of these Idol shows as a judge, she is nasty. Anyone who came on that wasn't up to the mark and she was a total bitch to then, rolling her eyes and laughing at them. I went totally off of her and don't normally watch Idol shows either but just happened to see one and saw what was behind Delta Goodrem's facade.

Annobel Tue 20-Mar-12 19:44:26

I know we have a fair degree of unanimity about J Clarkson. But Richard Hammond gets right up my nose too. Rather like James May though.

Faye Tue 20-Mar-12 19:40:01

dorseptspent Nigella Lawson - Mrs Supersmug, very apt description. Australia's own Miranda Kerr, Ms Supersmug. Why oh why don't they give someone else a go, I get sick to death of seeing the same self congratulatory people all the time.

Good Granny Guide by Jane F-W. link

Handy if you want to know about school fees, nannies, etc.

Jacey Tue 20-Mar-12 19:19:26

That woman who did a recent tv series on crafts around the country and has published some books on crsfting??

And that woman who is a news presenter and thinks she's really good at presenting history programmes??

See how much I loathe them!! Have managed to blank their names from my memory! grin

wotsamashedupjingl Tue 20-Mar-12 19:05:33

And Vanessa Feltz.

wotsamashedupjingl Tue 20-Mar-12 19:03:35

Jane Fearnley-Whittingstall. And anyone else who dishes out relationships advice based solely on their own privileged experience.

Gally Tue 20-Mar-12 19:03:22

All the above plus Melvyn Bragg

Jacey Tue 20-Mar-12 19:00:32

Jeremy Paxman and Jeremy Clarkson ...hmm there seems to be a link there!! grin
Sorry if your OH is called Jeremy!!

Anagram Tue 20-Mar-12 18:58:14

Shane Warne (now he's been done over!)

JessM Tue 20-Mar-12 18:51:03

why would you want to keep a man in a cupboard? hmm sounds sort of stalkerish and scarymovieish to me. Glad someone eventually mentioned the chief petrol head himself.
Those republican candidates - they look like waxworks of car salesment. Where do they find men like that? We just don't grow em over here do we.
Sticking up for Ed.M/ Rather cute in flesh. His brother too. Glad their dad escaped from the Nazis.

Tosh Tue 20-Mar-12 18:50:01

Greatnan ...are the above the men who make your skin crawl ? or would you like to keep them in a cupboard ???????? wink
