Are there are any women out there with the same issue?
Not me. He's a bit of yum.

OK, is there anyone who fancies Havers who's seen Anthony Andrews in Brideshead ? And if so, how are you not thinking "oh, that's what Havers is so signally failing to pull off!"
Dude, milk bars are/were a real thing?? I thought Burgess made that up for A Clockwork Orange, and I further thought that they really only served milk. (The latter is more reasonable if one accepts the former as true.)
a-hem. The title "Are you now or have you ever been: UnAmerican Buffistas 2" has been agreed by consensus, waaay back.
Fabulous.

Whilst Nigel Havers is not the top of my shaggable British actors list, I do think he's quite saucy. I've seen Anthony Andrews in various things, but not, I must confess, Brideshead. I really should rectify that, shouldn't I? Hmm. Anyway - yes, if we have to choose sides I'd side with the fanciers-of-Havers. On the understanding that Ben Chaplin, Johnny Lee Miller, James Mason (were Willow to pull him back from Heeeeaaven) and various other gentlemen take precedent on my Lust List.
Jim, did I say I fancied him? I said he was a very nice attractive man, and not an insipipip posh twit. (And actually, I have trouble remembering what Anthony Andrews looks like, no idea why I find him so unmemorable physically.)
There's a difference between thinking someone is not an insipipip posh twit, and wanting to rip their clothing off and shag them during the June sales, you know.
For that? Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth.
edit: gooooood morning, Fay. And, what she said.

Very, very true.
See, now I want to make a list of British/Irish actors who would fall into the latter category...

Good afternoon! (still giggling at your remark)
Angus ... I think it's a cheese and mustard flavoured crisp. It may be ham instead of cheese but is definitely mustard b/c its done in conjunction with Keens. Doesn't appeal to me but I'm sure there will be some who find it delicious.

You're talking to the World's Original Daniel Day-Lewis Ho. I fell in lust in the early eighties, when I saw "The Bounty."
The young Peter O'Toole. Hell, the old Peter O'Toole. The young Tom Courtenay. Ewan MacGregor. Richard Burton in his glorious best-voice-ever prime (Willow, you're needed). Did I say Daniel Day-Lewis? Oh look, I did. Give the man either his "Age of Innocence" suits, or his "Last of the Mohicans" loincloth. I'm so very much there.
Ah yes, jimi.
I'm surprised you didn't point out that in Adelaide, milk bars are called delis, just to confuse things further!
The thing is that havers is so inextricably linked with the nadir of '80s naffness that he's irredeemable.
Actually, that's not fair - the nadir of '80s naffness was the Gold Blend ads, and I guess ASH has managed to get away from that stigma. havers is still unwatchable, though. He's so smug. and he ruined the Gorse trilogy.
