Now it's not often I am prompted to think "now he's a nice looking man' when watching tv, but i was watching a programme the other night, quite by chance, on the history of 'Danny Boy' and thought the singer/songwrite Brian Kennedy http://www.briankennedy.co.uk/ was 'interesting' :-)

Interesting programme too of course , even if the song does always make me cry .

Who do you find attractive on telly? either looks or personality, or preferably both lol.

Not a very serious thread, just something for anyone to add to, you can of course opt for a female or a male :-D

OH my goodness Danny Boy brings back loads of memory's . Our dad had a lovely singing voice but was a very quiet man who didn't put himself forward .

We had to push him on a Christmas Eve ,after he and mum had done their annual late evening trip to the pub for a pint for him and a half for her to celebrate their wedding anniversary for Christmas Day , to get him to sing Danny Boy totally without any backing music,

Our eldest sister got her lovely singing voice from him and she did well as a semi professional singer in the 1950's

Mark Harmon - Gibbs on NCIS. You may have noticed that, our Rose.

I have sky+ the history of Danny Boy, always loved the song, and I have a Danny Boy, was the programme interesting, haven't managed to watch it yet.

As for "Good lookers" George Clooney & Daniel Craig, will do me nicely :-D

Personalities? Robbie Williams intrigues me

There are several that are nice looking, if I was interested that is, but they would have to have good manners and be quite tactile as these are two things I have always found attractive in a man :-D. My lovely late husband had all three of these attributes.

Lovely memories Shirley :-) 'Danny Boy' was often sung by my mum when I was little, her father being Daniel as was her brother and my lad :-) I do try and sing along when I hear it but the high note defeats me lol.

Gwynne, yes I had noticed ;-)

Lynda, I will agree on George but I'm not a fan of Daniel Craig. :-D ( I'm sure he'd be gutted lol) .

Tenerife Sun, good manners are important and being tactile, it is misery to be with someone who isn't if you are yourself ( I'm a hugger lol).

Mark Harmon,,,,,,,,,I'd leave home for him.......swoons and swoons some more,,,,,,,,....
:-)

Kay, you could hire a coach? I think more than several of us would be on it like a shot ;-)

He has to have a brain, am drawn toward the science-y types or geeky historians :-D Don't like tactile, my last boss was like that, although not in a creepy way, just didn't cut any ice with me as he used it as a 'getting workers on his side' tool.

When I was young, the men, usually in films, who I fancied seemed to be on the lines of Dirk Bogarde, Louis Jourdain, anyone spiv like with a moustache lol, but since you asked the question, Rose, I find the most fascinating man on television recently is Simon Schwarma, historian, who presented The Story of the Jews. He has charisma and passion in bucket loads and looks not at all like my youthful crushes :-D

Oh, and Neil Oliver from Coast. <3

Oh ,,,,,,,,Neil Oliver to run your fingers through his hair would be like a bingo win,,,,,,,,as long as he didnt speak,,,canna stand his accent. ;-) :-D :-D :-D.

Oh and sexy George the ex-news reader,,,he just oozes charm...... :-)

Ok .. weird but true
Nigel Slater.
Adam and Nigels Farm thingy?
There is something about a man who can get me so enthusiastic about making my own bread ... makes recipes so simple and is just huggable.
He is just so nice




<3

Oh yes, Neil Oliver, but I would not like him to be my tutor. I can't follow his delivery at all . Just won't stay in my head.

can't pinpoint what I like but it's not body builders i like Paul...Martin off that antique show . .
strangely attracted to Russel Brand ,
voices or accents can do it for me ;Morgan Freeman .
eyes like Richard gere or Omar Sherif .

got a photo of an ex when he was 20 looking distinctly like Antonio Banderas .

but if they.ve got humour + kindness ...I'm all theirs .

I did think the aforesaid Brian Kennedy had a look of Neil Oliver, especially as he had longer hair on the programme ( than in some photos), also both have lovely eyes... I like eyes ;-)

I like eyes too Rose ! Also a man;s lips ! ;-)

Can't think of any male that I find attractive on t.v in the programmes I watch :-(

I think that the face of Elvis was my ideal <3

Personality wise, I quite like Paul Martin from 'Flog It' <3

I like eyes too, somebody who can hold your gaze and not look away ;-). And yes a sense of humour is a must and probably a necessity to live with me :-D

Ah, I think I fell a bit in love with Colin Farrell when I first saw him in Ballykissangel.

I will always have a soft spot for Johnny Vegas, mightn't be much to look at but you'd have a good laugh.
