Top Ten Men of 2010!

[Seanchaidh]

Yeah, okay, so indecisiveness made a bit of a mess of the last one...

[Seanchaidh]

Right, here are my lot:

1: Chris Addison - Comedian


2: Peter Ginn - Archaeologist


3: Jem Stansfield - Head of Engineering, Southampton University, and TV presenter


4: Benedict Cumberbatch - Actor (and new Sherlock Holmes - hmm, wonder why I picked him!)


5: Tom Ellis - Actor and Comedian


And sorry, but just had to include this one for comparison:


Hands up, girlies: who else here completely blanked the fact that he played the devilishly handsome yet fatally stupid evil dude Cenred in Merlin. *Waves hand.*


6: Ben Mansfield - Actor



7: Jensen Ackles - Actor

The phase "spoilt for choice" really does seem to apply with this guy!

8: Chris Packham - Zoologist, fellow geek and TV presenter


9: Rupert Graves - Actor


10: Ben Turner - Actor



Honourable Mention: Alfie Boe - Tenor (the new Jean Valjean in Les Mis)

[Allyse]

My new list. Some changes of order, an addition (scandalously forgotten about until Cat reminded me) and therefore, still one runner up.... and more pretty pictures (although the new ones were a bit rushed)!


My first choice was slightly inevitable considering my current Primeval obsession. Took me ages to decide what Andrew/Connor pictures to use. And Hannah’s in there too... because behind every great man is... a woman rolling her eyes (plus I love her outfit!)


Charlie was adorable as Tristan in Stardust (an obsession from earlier in the year) and also very dapper in period dramas Glorious 39 and Downton Abbey (though he played a not-so-nice character in the latter).


The character Matt Hartley in Ugly Betty was my fave of Betty’s boyfriends. I’ve lost count how many times I watched The Bahamas Triangle episode and I may have cried when he left!


My other obsession of the year was The Host by Stephenie Meyer. Ian Somerhalder is my preferred actor to play the lovely Ian O’Shea if they ever finally make it into a movie.


During my re-think of the top ten... I decided I’d undersold Gary so he got bumped to number 5. The piccie on the left... that’s my own when I saw Snow Patrol last November. Yummy in real life too and adorable when he forgets his own lyrics!


Oh lovely Ben/Becker. How did I ever forget about you?



Like Ian Somerhalder above, Jensen is my preferred actor to play Jared Howe in The Host. He’s also pretty cool in Supernatural. (Sorry for the slide down the ranks Jensen. There was tough competition!)


Ed Westwick manages to do both cute and dangerous as the enigmatic Chuck Bass in Gossip Girl. Anyone who saw that scene in Paris and didn’t get a little bit teary has a heart of stone! (Also, found out he’s going to be in the movie Chalet Girl with Felicity Jones! Excitement!)


There are surprisingly few good pictures of Tom on the net so here he is with his leading ladies Emilia Fox (Merlin) and Miranda Hart (Miranda). Such fun! Also, every female should watch this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBMEqPSjnbM


Last but not least, the lovely Graham Wardle (as Ty in Heartland) with Amber Marshall (Amy) and Spartan the horse!

And the runner-up is: Jonny Lee Miller!

Seen here with my fave actress Romola Garai in the BBC’s version of Emma.

[Seanchaidh]

I do believe (although I'm not sure what age Chris Addison is) that all but one of my lot are older than me (and the one is Ben Mansfield, so that's entirely understandable!).

So we have three doublers so far then. I still can't believe I don't have Andrew or Mike in that top ten! I have three proper geeks to take their place though!

[Allyse]

Actually I've managed to get a couple of toy boys in my list hee hee.

Do you like the little Becker montage? So many pictures to choose from it could've been a whole wallpaper

And Chris Addison was born November 1971 (I just googled him lol.)

I did consider Mikey. But as I remember him, he just seems way too young now. I'm surprised Andrew didn't even make your top ten!

Edit: just googled Ben Mansfield too. He's actually a lot younger than I thought he was!

[Seanchaidh]

Thank you, that makes me feel a little better.

I sort of have Mike on facebook, so I guess that would be a little weird. He comes out with some bizarre stuff at times.

Isn't Ben about your age? I do love the montage! (And are you a fan of the strawberries episode?)

[Allyse]

Bit older. He's 27 I believe (though my maths is pretty poor) and I'm 24... Can't believe I'm going to be 25 next year (this year, in just over an hour).

I might make some bigger Primevaly montages (and when I say Primevaly, I mean of Andrew and/or Ben!) I loved the strawberries. That was hilarious! I might watch that episode in a bit. I'm having a bit of a marathon (since my friends ditched me for new year: charming, huh?) in between keeping an eye of my brothers party!

[Seanchaidh]

Same age as Mike! Better looking though.

I wish I could join you: we're stuck with the remnant of the BBC Hogmanay celebrations and (in my case at least) cocktails.

[Allyse]

He is!

Primeval (the G-Rex episode at request of one of my brother's friends) finished 10 minutes before midnight so we got the champers out and all went outside to look at the fireworks (we're on top of a hill so good view for them). Now I'm hiding out while my brother and his friends get more drunk and more rowdy.

[amy]

Wow, I think with the exception of Tom Ellis (who is really HOT especially with long hair) I don't really know any of the guys in either of your top ten. Some pretty cute guys though
Here are my choices. I have to say that I don't think mine have altered that much since 2002, I still have a thing for long haired musician types.

1. Caleb Followill (Kings of Leon).


2. Johnny Depp.


3. Emile Hirsch (Actor, 'Into the Wild' and 'Lords of Dogtown).


4. Brandon Boyd (Lead singer of Incubus and Artist)


5. Michael C. Hall (Dexter).


6. Diego Lugano (Footballer - Captained Uruguay in the World Cup).


7. David Beckham (I seem to have developed a bit of a thing for Footballers this year).


8. Dave Annabel (Justin in Brothers and Sisters)


9. Jamie T (Musician).


10. Justin Bobby (Audrina's boyfriend in The Hills)



I hope the pictures work *fingers crossed*

EDIT - It didn't work ! I don't know what I did, I tried to do what Allyse said.

Aaargh Technology you are both a friend and enemy.


EDIT: You were using the page URLs, honey, not the picture URLs. All sorted now. Cat.

[Allyse]

Ok, try putting [ I M G ] (only remove the spaces in between) before each link and [ / I M G ] after each link... hopefully that would work... I have to put the space in otherwise proboards deleted what I'd said.

Only recognise a few of yours. I'd forgotten about Emile Hirsch. He's great in Into The Wild (made me cry though!) Oooh and I like the Kings of Leon guy, though I had no idea what his name was. Was he the one who used to have really dodgy long hair and looked like he should be in Lord of the Rings?

[amy]

Cat - My Saviour. Can't believe you did all that for me, you absolute star. I did realise this morning on the way to work that I'd used the wrong URLs, and although my supervisor usually lets me get away with facebooking and the occasionally google of hot boys I thought this might be a bit much haha. Thanks for fixing them all for me my lovely.

Allyse - Emile is a new obsession for me, started with Lords of Dogtown - have you seen it? And I'm not sure whether Caleb is the one with the 'dodg'y long hair, I think he may be. They all used to be long haired and bearded.

[Seanchaidh]

You're very welcome.

[Allyse]

I've not seen Lords of Dogtown. Is it any good?

They look different with shorter hair... I can't tell if he's the one I was thinking of!

Btw girls, I've been rewatching series 1 of Miranda.... Gary/Tom Ellis in uniform is a good episode!

Edit: Oooh I found the piccie!

[Seanchaidh]

Ohhh, that is a nice piccie!

Alice: I've been thinking about setting up some character skins for the board. If you fancied trying you're hand at making some, you're more than welcome. If you don't already have mod access, you soon will have.
