C'mon let's stick up for the over 50s. Who are your heart-throbs. Let's say over 50. Preferably well over. And alive!

For me:
Helen Mirren
Albert Finney
Charlotte Rampling
Joan Bakewell
Clive James (I hope he's still alive!)
Anthony Hopkins
Felicity Kendal
Harry Belafonte (he doesn't need to sing)
James Dyson (Designer)
Richard Rogers (Architect)

Now that would be the basis for a fun party! Now where's that thread on favourite cocktail recipes?

I live a sheltered life grin But nobody controls what goes on in my head; certainly I don't! gringrin

I didn't know Martin Shaw was of a tree hugging disposition? I went off him when he aged and got a bit portly but that has rekindled my interest. Rufus Sewell is quite cute as well [but not old enough?].

Oh golly gosh; forgot my secret [no longer] crush; Rich Hall..is he 50 yet?

crimson Wed 07-Nov-12 21:15:15

NfkDumpling Wed 07-Nov-12 23:10:30

Not his good side.

jO5 Wed 07-Nov-12 23:21:35

He's old. hmm

Who are we talking about?

janeainsworth Thu 08-Nov-12 08:12:50

Leonard Cohen I think isthis not one of my personal favourites!

janeainsworth Isn't the brain said to be the body's main sexual organ? Sex appeal is surely more than a pretty, if now slightly lined face.

Many a good tune played on an old fiddle grin

Anyhoo, I would only want to talk to him!

absentgrana Thu 08-Nov-12 09:43:32

baubles But that doesn't prevent you from fantasising, should you want to.

I quite fancy the charming chap who invented the Dyson...he goes by that name, I believe. He has a warm plummy voice...blush

jO5 Thu 08-Nov-12 14:06:48

soop! You've just got the 'I wants'. About vaccy cleaners. hmm

soop Thu 08-Nov-12 16:29:13

crimson Thu 08-Nov-12 18:28:38

There you go; I like a 'bit of rough' [Rich; sigh] and soop likes a 'bit of posh' [plummy voice]...wink

mrshat Thu 08-Nov-12 20:25:21

I just like Martin Shaw ...........................................blush

jeni Thu 08-Nov-12 20:51:32
