I don't really think the D of E quite fits the bill papaoscar

Noooo!

The D of E. would rather have a good s--t,

what ghastly man !!

Hmmm

He is starting to look like a tortoise, IMO

The Dof E was a very handsome man in his youth. He has a wonderful life history and his mother is a proven women of substance.

I think I would choose Sean Connery, Brosnan and Roger Moore. Then again Parky could have a bit of a twinkle in the eye left.

I agree with you POGS
. If one likes "BLondies" I myself have ^always gone for dark haired chaps like darling hubby.
However , Phil has a history of cheating , which may or may not be brushed under the carpet, actually who cares .
The queen has I believe had to swallow her pride many times for the sake of the "monarchy"
C"est LA VIE

Yes, I know he was a fine figure of a man in his heyday, POGS, but we're talking about now!

I would have gone for Alan Rickman but apparently he is childless...

POGS I agree that the DoE was handsome in his youth but as for having a wonderful life history I have to disagree!

I understand that he was sent to school here and didn't have a visitor for five years, or something like that! And his mother was a schizophrenic and he hardly knew her.

Of course since he married he went on to have a charmed and easy existence!

With great respect, Hon. Gransnetters, may I submit Mr Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) for your special consideration.

Yes - not bad for a 'blondie' papaoscar! I'd forgotten about him.

Prompted by this thread, what about starting something like a Gransnet Oscar equivalent, perhaps known as the GOTCHERS or GROUCHERS or whatever. Nomination requirements to be set out and ignored, bribery and nepotism to be encouraged, and the award ceremony followed by an enormous red-carpet extravaganza somewhere nice, with a good cabaret - Sir Brucie hosting, perhaps, now that he's retired. There could be some fun in this, and the world would beat a path to our door. The award could be a statuette based on a montage of our personal attributes to be known, of course as a GRANNY. Voting would be open to back-handers, threats, extortion and the usual trickery. And what about a venue? And when? Good chance to dress up and sport our gongs and things in public, though. We'd all be in the Allo, Allo magazine. Any thoughts?

Ana

I agree, NOT NOW.

River

I will alter it to a very interesting history, wonderful was the wrong word to use. His mother was wonderful however.

Papaoscar

Oh yes indeedy to Rutger Hauer.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Richard Madeley is fanciable - I think he's gorgeous!
