Title: Who do you want to marry today?
Post by: befuddled on November 29, 2020, 10:36:22 PM

Hi everyone, do you already play this game?

I saw the "strange crushes" thread, and it reminded me of the game we used to play monday morning coffee break in my first job after leaving school, early eighties.  Us younger girls always picked who we most wanted to snog -  Rob Lowe and the rest of the brat pack used to crop up a lot. One of the more mature ladies used to ponder on a couple of names but always went back to her old favourite Demis Roussos.  I was the youngest and quite shy at the time, but some of the things the middle aged ladies used to come out with would still make me blush now!

No rules except that you can't choose your husband/partner.  You can change your mind as often as you like and polygamy only allowed on special occasions.


My choice for today - Miles Jupp - he has a wicked laugh, and i'm feeling tired and weary today so i'm in the mood for someone cuddly and comfortable to snuggle up to.

Good choice Penguin, sensible to pick someone who can cook you dinner as well as ?? whatever else it is you want him for!

The thought of never having to cook again is heaven, but having it cooked by a gorgeous man is even more heavenly.  :D
Not saying my husband isn't gorgeous  ;D but he never cooks ;D

Hey Teresa, don't take that word "marry" too seriously.  It's more of a "who do you want hanging around your house for a few days" for whatever obscure reason you like.  Reality doesn't come into it at all.

My husband  :-* who cooks, cleans, is good at DIY ........ there are 3 blokes who I would trust my Life with as well as DH. 3 that are public figures so won't mention them but F1 is involved  :-X

Now ........... that's reality out of the way.  Robert Wagner, sadly no longer with us.

"I don't even want to share a house with a man for a few days thanks but they can do some diy" -That's ok Teresa,  you can keep him in the shed if you like, just let him out when you want something done.  Anthony Head?? The one in the coffee adverts?  Is he known for his diy skills?

CLKD, no, you can't marry your husband, but you can just can keep him in a box under the bed for a few days til you divorce Robert.

Anthony Head
Was kept in the shed
He was brilliant in Merlin
But better in bed

Brilliant .... and so quick too

By the way, it doesn't have to be a man, or even a real person.  anything's ok for this one

I did it because in the 1960s/70s it was expected.  We wanted to live together and miss out the service so as parents were keen for us to wed, I insisted on a Church Service of which I remember very little  ::).  The irony being is that Mum took up with a man who 6 weeks later moved into Dad's bed  >:(.  This is a woman who slagged everyone who was 'living in Sin'.

I never had pin-up posters on my wall like my sister and cousins did.  The Beatles, Stones etc. went by me until the Monkeys arrived  ;D, followed by The Hollies  :-* :-* ......

It would need to be a man who can cook, put up shelves and paint walls - all at the same time  ;D

I'm happy doing my own cooking and decorating, it's the housework i have a problem with.  Husband does way more dusting and hoovering than me, and when i've made a mess in the kitchen, i know i can wander off for a while and when i get back it's all washed up and cleared away.  It took a few years but I think i've got him pretty well trained now.

I'm divorcing Miles Jupp now, i want Nick Cave instead.  He's going to sit on the floor my side of the bed and sing to me, Love Letter and Jesus of the Moon, while i drift off to sleep.

I always said that if I had a Winter wedding I would wear white with a deep magenta cape with rabbit fur round the edges, bit 'Christmas with Bing' type - white wellies fur lined.  The girls would wear deep magenta dresses with white capes .......... carrying seasonal greenery.

We choose August - it was easier than finding season greenery  ;D
