I cant be the only one?!

Just been on the phone with my mate and yet again got some stick about a bizarre crush I have had since I was 19 (31 now). I dont know what it is about this man but I just couldnt say no. He is the absolute opposite of my normal type (I like big, rough bad boy types) but there is just something appealing about.... Tony Blair Embarassed

I know there must be others out there with an unusual crush so please reveal and spare me my embarrassment... but hands off my Tony! Wink

I admire your bravery for 'coming out'.

No competition from me, Tony Blair doesn't do it for me at all! Trying to think really hard, but can't think of anyone I have a proper crush on - there are a few that are alright-ish, but none irresistible.

Having said that, When I was six I had a major crush on Mark Spitz - had a picture of him above my bed with all seven gold medals! Wink

I asked my friend about his crazy crush and he said Dana (do you remember the Irish lady who was in Eurovision) This reminded me that years later there was Dana International, thought to be a man originally? with what I thought was a great record..here

Ok, if you're not a child of the late '60s or before then this will mean nothing to you, but when I was about 4, I used t watch a tv programme that had a character in it called Casey Jones - who drove a steam train through what I recall being the wild west (though that doesnt make much sense so it could be a totally flakey false memory!) Anyway, he would be my first (and probably weirdest!) crush. To the extent that when I started playschool they asked me my name (no forms signed in triplicate back in those days) and I said Casey Jones (who was a middle aged man in the programme!) and they beleived me! And I was called Casey for the first week at least! :o) x

Hello Casey Tongue Out HAHAHAHA. yes I remember him, with The Cannonball Express, I liked the title sequence best...here

Talking of false names, there is a shopkeeper called Dilys Price in Fireman Sam and when my niece started ballet, she told the teacher she was called Dilys Price and that was what she was called for weeks!

Hi, I'm new to the site, so just picked up this thread. My first crush was Dana off of the 70s - "All kinds of everything".  As a 9yo boy I would get up early on a sunday morning to watch some religious programme she did. Very out of character for me to watch that kind of stuff, but I was spellbound.

Posted on: July 2, 2012 - 8:14pm

Louise
Parenting specialist DoppleMe

aha englebert! My friend always loved Dana (although he was a tad older than 9 when she was popular) and he went along to the pantomime for the first and only time...because she was in it and he could ogle her. Sadly the rest of the show was so dull that he fell asleep Sealed

Any more condessions from anyone?

Yes, so do I and yet really he is quite scrawny and wrinkly Wink Did you see the thing the other night where he was a recovering alcoholic?

I always feel as if I "should" fancy David Tennant but I can't quite manage it. However, I do like Adrian Edmondson, from his "Young Ones" days, to his current gentle pottering in the Dales and Shires programmes.

Oh I have thought of one more....you know when celebrities do those dances for Comic Relief? in the latest one there were two Eastenders girls and Tony Blackburn/David Hamilton....well (finally gets to the point) the first one of those competitions was won by Robert Webb of Mitchell and Webb fame dancing to Flashdance, What a Feeling, whilst wearing a very effeminate leotard and to my shame, I was rather taken with the whole scenario Embarassed

Oh but the one I really like the look of was Rob Andrew who kicked that last drop goal and won for England against Australia in...1998 (?)

Donny, eh ThePhoenix? My girlhood crushes included Shakin' Stevens (!!!), Adam Ant, Marc Almond & Boy George.  Did you notice a theme emerge towards the end there? Wink I still like hanging out with 'safe' boys these days. One of my gay bezzies is throwing an '80's themed fancy dress party next month - I can't wait!

Have you finished those assignments yet? & surely it's a bit early in the morning for Pimms anyway....

(P.s. Have no idea who Rob Andrew is, I'll have to Google him later Smile)

 Haha ...I have some really good friends of the same Smile  the 8os themed fancy dress sounds fun. What's your costume then?

I had to share this, as it is not very often I ogle men on the big screen, but this man was delicious and so humble on Spartacus, that i developed a crush!

Anyway I had read somewhere that he wasn't well, but only just found out that he actually passed away last September. Frown

He was divine, RIP Andy Whitfield.

I'm starting to think that my complete and utter undying devotion to Steve Backshall is actually really normal!  I'm so in love with him it's kinda insane, my son refuses to watch Deadly 60 anymore, cos I spend the whole thing completely goggle eyed over him, and he says it's gross!!

Does anyone remember Michael Kitchen from Foyle's War?

Well, I was with my friend the other day and she always drools over Neil Oliver (of Coast fame) and I said to her Neil Oliver is far too sensible a crush, you should have a crazy Crush like we have on our One Space website. She thought for a minute and said "well then, mine is Michael Kitchen IN A HAT"

Why in a hat????????

Have just looked back: Bobby Ewing is really Patrick something I think. And talking of Rob Andrew reminded my that I used to like Jeremy Guscott (you've got to love the rugby guys) until I saw an interview and he talked. That put an end to that one. David Bowie is on my list of people I'd really like to meet though. And when I was about 16 I absolutely loved Michael Praed as Robin Hood. Aww those were the days. Adam Ant was on that list, too, but I gather he's a bit of a liability nowadays. :-P
