Pictures speak for themselves, what a man, what a hero. So much love for his people and country. If you could send him a song what would be your choice. Mine is 'Bridge over troubled water' by Simon and Garfunkle

He's also very attractive!

We seem to like the Action man type more than the Ken type of man on here! Being lighthearted for a moment. smile

I was reading about William the Conqueror. Apparently many of his enemies met mysterious sudden deaths, thought to be the result of poison. Another tyrant.

I wish someone would send Putin an arsenic flavoured Easter Egg ?

Surprised he’s only 44, thought he would be in his 50s, the beard perhaps.

crazyH Thu 14-Apr-22 21:02:13

Frankly, I thought he was only in late 30s/early 40s

In my ideal world I would to love hime to speak more English,
I know he can speak a fair amount of English,
although I don't know how conversant he is but that would really get up the nose of his neighbour,
as HIS command of the English language is very limited.
Then President Zelensky could have dual road signs in his country,like we do in Wales.

He is a very brave and inspiring man, compassionate and strong.I knew nothing of the Ukrainian character but from what’s I’ve seen and heard he is a typical Ukrainian male. I can’t see how they can win the war against the obscene Russian
Military who have such weaponry , this has been planned for years and shows the Russian government the opposite of Ukraine one.

just found out that an interview with President Zelensky is being shown on the BBC news channel on saturday at 17:30pm. During parts of the interview he also speaks,
in what I consider good spoken English.

President Zelensky and his wife in happier times. This clip of them singing together just popped up on Youtube and it’s lovely.

This thread has made me smile. It's exactly like being with my mates...the topic starting off as one thing then quickly shooting off at tangents (what an attractive man PV is!) with side chats galore. Lovely.

Giant by rag'n'bone man would be my choice for him.

Zoejory Fri 22-Apr-22 06:37:15

Good choice, Nanee49

On TikTok there are many supportive clips and this song is played on many. Beautiful voice and so melodic. Haunting as well.

Ooh fantastic! One of my favourite songs too.

And now, as said above "Cometh the hour, cometh the man."

It gave me goosebumps when I played it Sparklefizz

Sparklefizz Fri 22-Apr-22 10:45:02

Me too Grannynw

An unlikely pinup. Who would have thought we find him attractive and mention it! Feeling it’s inappropriate given the tragic circumstances. sad

I think they should give him the Nobel Peace Prize when this is all over.

Oh no, apologies for posting it. I’m not normally so gullible.

Namsnanny Fri 22-Apr-22 12:11:44

Seeing as he was a comic, and fond of spoofs, I do t suppose he will mind Grannynanny?

SueDonim Fri 22-Apr-22 22:08:58

I don’t suppose he’s a member of Gransnet, Grannynanny. grin

Not unlikely at all and why would it affect anyone. Harmless and complimentary to him.

BlueSky Tue 26-Apr-22 12:12:18

I doubt he’ll be flattered to know he’s a grans’ heartthrob! grin
