Most lovable people
The Beeb asked the question, two years ago:
Whether it’s Heather Mills or Kerry Katona, the celebrities that ordinary people vilify seem disproportionately to be female. Why?
Because of the music offering later this evening, I’m not in the mood for negativity – there was enough of that in the posts earlier in the day. Rather, I’d like to look at the positive side of the coin:
In a survey [in 2008], by Marketing magazine, the respondents’ top five most loved celebrities were men – Paul McCartney, Lewis Hamilton, Gary Lineker, Simon Cowell and David Beckham.
Well, who are the people, past or present, whom you find the most lovable? I don’t mean celebrities, film stars and so on but anyone at all, leaving aside Jesus and your family two generations either side of you. And I don’t mean “greatest” or “most loved” [by the world] or “most famous”. I mean “most lovable”.
Five I can think of, off the top of my head, in no particular order:
1. Pope John-Paul I
2. Susanna Hoffs;
3. Ron Paul;
4. Topol;
5. One fellow blogger I shan’t name.

5 – She runs a blog????
Might be “he”.
Interesting choices!
Which one was John Paul I? Was that the one with the creepy, ingratiating smile?
I am only allowed to choose 5?
Recently another friend of mine asked a group of us what our favourite colour was. By the time I had finished talking I had chosen 5. There was some comment about trust a woman…
I am sure I don’t know what he meant
Gary Lineker – until he and his wife divorced and he married a young model.
This is really hard. Lovable. You wouldn’t know if someone were lovable unless you knew him/her well surely?
Cherie – can one trust a woman?
Liz – two good points.
By trust they meant it was typical of a woman not to be able to make up her mind!
As to your question that would depend on the woman
