I have a wholly inappropriate crush on Alastair Cook. It was bad enough before I discovered that he sings, too! Just think of the tuneful nights at home around the piano ...

Oh. He's beautiful!

He IS! I think I can see an England Cricket Team picspam coming up ... might leave out the two or three who look a bit spuddy ...

So, if a girl were to want, say, Alastair Cook / Stuart Broad fic ...

Darling, by the time they make it to the MCG I hope to have something up which may not be exactly what you have in mind but should certainly be along those lines ...

I expect them to have something up, too. :D

Aw, you really DO love me.

*glomps you*

Run rates! And be hoisting the Ashes! And of course I do :-)

Its awfully Austin-esque.

Is that Austen-esque and you would prefer him in a wet white shirt? Because I feel certain that will happen before the season finishes.

Err, yes, that would be exactly what I was thinking.

He's gorgeous!

He is ridiculously gorgeous.

I am in the ridiculous position of wanting to watch him run around with no shirt on while we're both singing Handel. Damn you, team biographies!

A purist might quibble at the eyebrows....

But yes, he's pretty, and in form, which is a delight.

But it's not inappropriate until you're imagining him in the dressing room with Stuart Broad after a long hard match sharing a pot of embrocation.

Coughs

He has two, that's all I ask for ;-)

And darling Shiv, how could I not have already gone there given the obvious H/D analogues.

As far as I can tell, one blond, one dark and you lot see H/D in everything.

Which is as it should be for shippers.


In re Florence, did you go and see the Bronzino exhibition?

I DID. SO GOOD!!!!!!! I have never seen most of those paintings so well lit and looking so good. There has been a massive amount of restoration done on half of them, of the very good sort, thankfully. Seeing all those Medici in such close proximity was truly amazing. If you have a spare weekend before it ends, it is very much worth the time to visit!

I was pondering it. There aren't many Weekends in January that are free, but I might pop over for the day.

Why is it wholly innapropriate? Have you seen the nearly-naked pictures?

Date: 2010-12-04 11:32 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com
Oh yes, yes I have. Alas, I was born in the sixties, he was born in the eighties ... although women outlive men and I come from a family in which people regularly live well into their nineties and not-infrequently crack the ton ...

From: [identity profile] blythely.livejournal.com
Yeah, but he's an English cricketer which means by the time he's 40 he'll be chunky/jowly, so perve while it's still warranted.

He and Broad are like, some sort of bizarrely-apt H/D cricketing dream.

Eh, by the time he's 40 I'll be nearly 60, and even the fabulous Brammers family eyesight should be starting to fade by then ;-)

And it's as though the selectors chose this team based ENTIRELY on all my letters!

That is one beautiful man. And he totally has Harry!hair.

Hmmm, where's Femme? This can only feed her cricket-love.

He is, and he does! I feel I need to do a Cricket post very soon so that all of the Americans can join in the joy of this Test season.

Define "inappropriate". Seems perfectly appropriate to me. Phwoarrr!

I am old, and I have a Mr Brammers ... Though it occurs to me I've never asked his opinions on having a spare around the house ...

I see nothing anappropiate in that.

I am enjoying this Ashes so much.

Wholly inapproriate my foot! WE would never do anything inappropriate because WE are the epitome of grace and courtesy yada yada.... and since I have a ginormous crush on the man myself (OMG he is so cute!)- all I can say is you are in good company and it is an ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE crush :)
