    From the looks of it that link is a few years old at this stage.

    And the lovely Katie Derham and Susanna Reid aren't on it, for shame!

    It's hardly the OP's fault the link was in the daily mail, without the mail AH would get no news.

    Lol I know but most links do seem to be from the mail considering everyone gives out about it.

    It does provide us with a bit of entertainment I suppose. It's our Fox News


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 787 ✭✭✭Emeraldy Pebbles


    How come David Attenborough did not get a look in, rather.

    Because he's an elderly man? And elderly people tend to be no longer be sexually attractive?

    I have to confess to reading other pieces after opening a link.

    Ageist :eek: Clint Eastwood is an incredibly attractive man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    Besides Matthew MacFadyen (who is okay I guess), they are all mingers.
    Maybe I'm too dumb to find them all attractive though!

    Ah what harm is it? It's usually only something light hearted and everyone understands not to take it too seriously!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 787 ✭✭✭Emeraldy Pebbles

    No he's not. He looks frail. And c'mon, it's not really ageist. The vast majority of 80+ people aren't sexually attractive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 967 ✭✭✭HeyThereDeliah


    Ageist :eek: Clint Eastwood is an incredibly attractive man.

    Yes he was a good fifteen yrs ago but now he is an old man.

    Guys, this is pointless. You might as well be arguing with a chair.

    Hunk yes, the other hell nothing would make me go there.

    I saw an interview with Lauren Bacall recently (Actress and Humphrey Bogarts widow) and she was still a fine looking woman, she must be in her mid eighties at this stage. Elegance and class persists, you can't buy that.

    I'm sure but would you want to go to bed with her?


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND

    To be honest I probably would.

    I'd bum the arse off Helen Miram too and I'd say she's old enough to be Anne Doyles granny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭PhlegmyMoses


    To be honest I probably would.

    It'd be the driest experience I've had since I stuffed 6 crackers in my mouth and tried to eat them without water.

    Nah, looks like a bimbo (though that said, she probably has a PhD in pure mathematics or such like)
    Susie Dent is hotter.

    Would also like to add Victoria Coren

    Tis true, elegance can be attained at any age. A great bone structure, á la Bacall, helps too. :)

    Susie is eternally youthful looking.

    Yep, and now married to David Mitchell - imagine what the kids will be like!

    Ironically, no thinking person actually reads the Daily Mail.
