Cliff Richard thinks that maybe “it’s time to gracefully exit the Chippendales market,” Sir Cliff says in his book.

I actually feel sick.

Never did like Cliff. Would I like to see him bare chested at any age? God NO!

Elegran, I am shocked, but......apart from the tattoos. Yuck!

It is a biological fact that while most men are turned on by pictures of nakkit women, few women find pictures of nakkit men arousing, Calendars or Magazines with pictures of hunky men are aimed at the Gay market.

I think you’re right granny23

Most women find men in uniform or dressed up to the nines in formal wear much more sexy.

What a shame, I could do with a good laugh!!!
My daughters bought me the Cliff calendar as a joke one Christmas - it was hilarious. August Cliff posing topless in jeans with pitchfork and straw hat made us cry with laughter. Well worth the money for comedy value!!

Is that a promise?

Redhead56 Thu 31-Dec-20 15:33:59

In my younger days a hairy chest was worth a look. But Cliff Richard no way!

Mapleleaf Thu 31-Dec-20 15:28:21

Sorry, that should have been Graham Norton, not Piers Morgan.

Mapleleaf Thu 31-Dec-20 15:26:10

That picture if him that Piers Morgan us holding up is definitely photo shopped. No way is that torso Cliff Richards.

Mapleleaf Thu 31-Dec-20 15:21:00

So, we are to be spared that nightmare vision of Cliff baring his chest ? It's time he put his singing voice to bed, too. I'm afraid he's unable to hit the notes now.

I expect they call them "the chips", what with all that grease.

Lucretzia Thu 31-Dec-20 15:05:09

Poor old Cliff.

Never been a fan of topless men
Or bottomless come to think of it

I was once dragged to a Chippendale concert with a bunch of Mums.

It was dreadful

Greasy oily men cavorting about

Ooh, I don't know Granny23 - remember this pic of Burt Reynolds in Cosmopolitan in the early 70s?

He reckoned it was the reason he didn't get the deserved Oscar for 'Deliverance'!

??
No, i reckon it was the very “Village People” moustache.

Must have been something wrong with me as I was never interested in pin-up calendars at all. I preferred flowers or animals.

Somebody once asked me, as he was admiring my car, what does MG stand for?

My Girlfriend, of course. Better than any pin up, although I have to admit, my wife calls the car Jessica because, like her namesake, she's a redhead, with a great body and a cracking pair of hooters.

????????
Yuck Spangler.

Just the sort of “blokey” language that belongs with the notion of topless (of either gender) calendars.

sharon103 Thu 31-Dec-20 14:54:51

Yuk, just the thought makes me feel sick.
Never could stick the bloke even with his clothes on.

MissAdventure Thu 31-Dec-20 14:53:53

Didn't there used to be a programme which featured the most boring calendars viewers had seen?

As long as it's not a topless one of Paul McCartney ! Did anyone see the pic of him in the Mail ,on holiday ? He looked like an old woman, hahahaha.

crazyH Thu 31-Dec-20 14:28:52

Never liked Cliff Richard, clothed or unclothed...

Puzzler61 Fri 30-Oct-20 17:37:13

Of course it is Elegran ?

Millie22 Fri 30-Oct-20 16:52:12

I'm going off Aidan Turner a bit now and sort of wishing I was a duckling. No that's a bit weird really.

Elegran Fri 30-Oct-20 16:46:19

There is also one by French pompiers.

Elegran Fri 30-Oct-20 16:45:02

I think they do one every year (for charity)

AGAA4 Fri 30-Oct-20 16:43:18

Mmm... wonder if they do one of those calendars for 2021. Just for the animals of course.

Elegran Fri 30-Oct-20 16:33:06

Puzzler Last year's is still hanging in the larder cupboard so I think I shall just leave it there for 2021. I'll turn it back to January, of course, and start again. The dates will be wrong but that is unimportant; it is there for the cuddly animals.

Ladyleftfieldlover Fri 30-Oct-20 16:30:09

I used to work at a Theological College and my calendar of choice depicted young priests in all their finery - although one year I had a nun calendar!
