Maybe I'm thinking of somebody else then.....remind me who Claire Sweeny is somebody

 

Come on Louise - what was she wearing

[Louise]

She used to be in Brookside and then she went on to do presenting and singing and stuff last seen by me on a daytime TV show about home makeovers in an hour.

 

Well since you ask Gina not a lot and that much cleavage at that time of day is not a good look.

 

Great figure though dead jealous but really she should cover up in public its not decent

[Popcorn]

Oh, I did think it was her. I always think she looks dead 'glam'. Maybe because I'm a plain Jane (no offense meant Jane!)

 

Thing is Louise - we're leaps and bounds above Claire Sweeny, even though we haven't got her figure - or cleavage in my case (fried eggs here)

but we're top of the pile with our personalities - and there's no amount of plastic surgery that can get you one of those

[Mrs Frugal]

Oooh, well said Gina !!

[Louise]

 

And I bet she doesn't have chickens

[Sheilaz]

Now could we get back to the men! I do shock easily. Went to Wimbledon last couple of years with a friend. I love tennis & like to watch the skilful shots, and my friend had suggested going. Through the gates she turned to me & said, "Let's watch the men's doubles, all those thighs" Gulp. She was right though

Re celebs. The opposite happened to me. Had the misfortune to be shopping in large Sainsbury's on Tues. A team of visiting management suits (sounded American) were touring round with the top bods, up & down same aisles as me.

Eventually, I asked to get past as they were blocking whole space. They apologised and then said, "well, we've got your photo to use anyway!" I was wearing sunglasses due to sore eyes again and had seen a camera flash in 1st aisle, thought they were taking pics of food not me!

I was so surprised I just laughed. (should I have signed autographs.

So, did they assume I was a celeb, being in shades on a cloudy day. Or did they want harrassed housewife for next Sainsbury magazine!

Who did they think I was?! My privacy has been invaded, will have to wear all the time now!

[Popcorn]

They were probably checking out the tin of sweetcorn you snuck into your inside pocket

[Popcorn]

 

And I bet she doesn't have chickens

 

Good point Louise - no personality AND no chickens, what chance does she stand?

[Sheilaz]

They were probably checking out the tin of sweetcorn you snuck into your inside pocket

...I'd look very strange if they were looking at shopping habits...all those grapes!

[Emma]

How old are you Motherhen?

You think your age gives you claims to Orli, you're wrong my dear

 

Why have none of the men eglu owners joined in our chat Maybe we should start a new thread- famous people we lust after, then maybe we'd get a few men's ideas. But if any of them mention Pamela Anderson or any of those other 'plastic' women I'll scream

 

"I'll just be one more minute Orli. Have a cup of tea with Johnny whilst I just finish chatting to my chicken friends"

[Bill]

OK, you asked for a male view...

 

I've really enjoyed reading through this. I saw a mention of Jim Davison above. A long time ago when I was in England I worked on the staff of a boating magazine, and Jim D was one of our keenest readers. He had a very large and very expensive boat then which he kept on the Thames, it was meant for the open sea and was far too powerful for the river, he couldn't really drive it succesfuly (I doubt if anybody could). Because we were the so called 'experts' he treated us as stars - I remember him buying us all drinks and saying nice things about us in a hotel in Southampton during the boat show. To us, he was really quite a charming man. "Ooops, word censored!"ody believes that, because of his reputation as a foul-mouthed womanising racist .

 

And somebody else mentioned middle-aged women. We were having lunch in a creperie the other day, and Penelope Wilton came in. I loved her in Ever Decreasing Circles (remember that?). In fact we lived in the village where it was filmed, and I've got all the episodes on DVD. We told the owner, after she had gone, that he had just had a famous English actress in his eatery. He was most unimpressed though, saying that Nicolas Sarkozy (French Interior minister) ate there regularly.

 

Of course, Johnny Depp is married to a French woman (Vanessa Paradis) and lives over here.

[Popcorn]

Bill - we really don't need reminding that Johnny Depp is spoken for

It helps us think we are still in with a chance thinking he is single.

If you EVER see him in your French eatery, please feel free to direct him to me at the Omlet Forum!

 

I just about remember Ever Decreasing Circles, but I couldn't put a face to the actress you shared the restaurant with. Always good to see a famous person though.

 

Glad to hear that Jim isn't all bad too. What an exciting life you have led!

[Mrs Frugal]

 

Of course, Johnny Depp is married to a French woman (Vanessa Paradis) and lives over here.

 

We don't mention that bit Bill . He's still MINE!!

[Popcorn]

I've just thought of a good claim to fame -

 

My SIL's friend has just bought a house, not far from us, in Leicester.

It's Rosemary Connelly's old place in Quorn!

[Autism]

No KATE! as I said FIRST, he's mine all mine......oooooooohhh Pirates of the Caribean....Desert islands............corrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

Yes Bill, your right, Mr J D is a real nice bloke, (met him many times) too much bad press I think (I used to go out with a friend of his-can't say who as I'm not into kiss and tell) but he's not how he appears on T.V

 

As for "Ever decreasing circles" (loved that prog) my Dad was the spit of Richard Briars(have I spelt that right?) every night he would move the telephone round and put it back in it's original place ( God Bless Dad's )

Emma - I'm 46, so unless you're older I get first bags on Legolas

 

It takes a mature woman to appreciate an elf

[Lesley]

Does that mean that, at 50, I can have him? I don't even want him

[Popcorn]

At 50 Lesley, I should imagine you can have WHATEVER you want, as I'd think you'd earnt it!

[Emma]

Oh darn. I'm only 41 Okay you can have him during the summer and I'll have him during the winter months to snuggle up to and keep me warm

We've all started to sound like desporate housewives

 

It's okay anyway cos I'm going to be kept busy with Richard Dean Anderson(Jack O'Neill from Stargate)during the next few months

 

Oh I wish

 

How could anyone go out with a mate of Johnny's and not say who.Spill the beans.

[Autism]

Sorry to dissapoint Emma

 

It wasn't a mate of Johnny's it was a mate of Mr J Davidson

 

You don't think I'd of let that one slip away do you, I'd of told the WORLD

[Emma]

and I'd got myself all excited and worked up for a bit of gossip. That'll teach me not to be nosy

[Bill]

I'm glad somebody else agrees that Mr James Davidson is OK in real life. I had a very uneasy, not politically correct, sort of feeling when I was writing it that I was committing a horrible gaffe in front of a forum full of ladies. A bit like telling a turkey that you admire Bernard Matthews

 

I do agree that the whole 'celeb' thing is pretty strange. Our son's long-term girlfriend works (in England) for one of those weekly magazines that are supposed to give you all the news of the rich and famous. It's full of people out of Big Brother, obscure so-called celebs from that love island thing, with the odd model or singer here and there. Is it me, or do other people find this obsession with the third-rate rather tiresome? Just me being Victor Medrew again.

 

Back to the village where we lived in England, I'm listening to the news right now and a bit about Bob Geldof and Live8. Maybe its my age, but I thought The Who and Pink Floyd were the real stars of that. Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd) used to live just the other side of the river from us, I think he's been through a divorce and the house is for sale, wish I could afford it. And we had most of Genesis nearby - Mike Rutherford still lives there, though Phil Collins moved to Switzerland after he divorced. We also had Edward Enfield just round the corner - Harry spent his formative years in the village and some of the other residents are recognisable in his characters (Wayne and Waynetta Slob, 'its only me' etc, though everywhere has loads of Kevin the teenagers)

[Autism]

Ihave my own personal "Kevin"

 

He's upstairs in bed
