Ok so I don't really have a man-crush on Charlie if you didn't guess. I was just reading Enoch's Guide to Getting Ahead and it said to bignote yourself at every opportunity, so I did...:;:;
Actually, this is the fella I find pretty interesting...
here is one of his podcasts...
Bombe Secretary - Episode 40 Video by Thomas J. MacDonald
(and demonstrates a good reason to use hide glue instead of PVA)

Of the 25 or so minutes I think I lasted about 4 or so. Nice joinery however I think the words I'm trying to find are "full of himself". Or as you say, big noting.Quote:

I think we all have a man crush hidden in there somewhere. Stephen Fry does have a wit and linguistic presence unlike any other. Bloody brilliant host of QI.
Hugh Jackman does it for me. Multi talented and a great family man, all while maintaining the body of an earth bound god. Makes me happy to see someone who can make it in the public eye and still retain his love and respect for his wife and family.
Be it known to all though, I'm also straight as a die :D although I have been accused otherwise on more occasions than one.
He's just a typical Yank perhaps in that he dares to become greater than he was. Full of himself maybe, and well deserved. He's survived a near fatal car accident, alcoholism and the murder of his sister, but he's gone on to become one of the most successful promoters of the craft in the US and a great role model to those coming through. I find him quite charming and self depricating. Perhaps I am deluded because I watched all 83 episodes in that build and several more hours of other pod casts. I should have stopped at four minutes of viewing to obtain the correct interpretation!:p:DQuote:

Saying that, I consider him boastful and find that someone like Derek Cohen more of a role model and self-depreciating.
No offence taken, we're each entitled to our opinion, but it would be handy to speak of it from an enlightened position. :)

When i first joint the Forum I felt that certain feeling for ENOCH :oo: but I went off and stood in the corner and had a good talk with my self and that feeling soon passed.
I do like the wit of Stephen Fry :D
Man-crush, hero worship, adulation are all terms we use to admire our fellow men. No problem there. My own preference is for humility over arrogance. That's not always the american way.:)

If we examine our thoughts a little perhaps we are identifying with successful people or high profile personalities who, despite that revered status, seem unaffected by the wealth and fame.

Three statements: Firstly the age thingy. It made a more interesting statement to not know any young men, but as you have guessed not an entirely accurate satement. I have in the past stated that getting older has the advantage that more and more women become attractive. I am a little hesitant to say the same about men. Let's say they are persons of interest.
Secondly: Only women develop like fine wines. Men develop character, which may just be a euphemism for their rascally behaviour.
Thirdly: The effect of wine?
"Let schoolmasters puzzle their brains
With grammar literature and learning,
Good liquor I stoutly maintain
Gives genius a better discerning." :D

Oh, if I need to be serious about who I really admire, if I really had to nominate just one person, it wouldn't be royalty (Yikes!) or sportspeople, or cabinet-makers, it would be this guy - Dr Noel Fitzpatrick.
ABC Classic FM - Mornings - Bionic vet - Dr Noel Fitzpatrick
If you've got a spare hour have a listen to the interview with Margaret.
