Is it Wrong…
Is it really wrong to watch this YouTube clip from the new series of Extras and think ‘Ooh, Diana Rigg – somehow still quite foxy.” It probably is, isn’t it.
Apart from being some sort of appaling pervert, I think I know the reason I felt just a little bit of phwooar watching that. See, for me the most appealing characteristics in women have always been wit and sass. No amount of firm young flesh can possibly make up for having no spunk, no sharpness, no spirit, no humour, no brains. If you are dull (in the old-fashioned sense, not just boring) then losing weight and shortening your skirt can never save you.
I can’t imagine it being any fun at all to hang out with a woman who can’t put you in your place with the mere raise of an eyebrow, or to make a complete fool of you with nothing but her tone of voice. It makes life fun – it gives you someone to play with. It keeps you on your toes, and if you don’t have the balls to face that kind of a woman they you don’t bloody deserve one in the first place.

Mind you, having looked like this in your youth never did anyone any harm either:
Wits and sass over tits and ass, eh?
Indeedy old chap, indeedy. Anyone who can make you look at a pensioner and think phwoar clearly has something going on.
I have similar feelings toward Felicity Kendal.
WTF???
No no, Euan, it’s spelled ‘MILF’.
I think you mean GILF
Did you see the ‘Vice President MILF’ headlines in the States. They were very funny.
But I wouldn’t, though.

If I say “I’d do her” (Dianna Rigg, NOT Caribou Barbie/Sarah Palin/VP whore) will I call my femininity into question? Oh please say no, cause I totally would, even now!
I didn’t actually watch the clip earlier in work – it’s well funny. Never watched the series much.
However, while perhaps with you some of the way in spirit, I can’t see whatever you see in Diana Rigg.
In that clip she looks like Christopher fucking Walken.
Caribou Barbie is perhaps the funniest thing I’ve heard in fucking ages.
Dylan, if you don’t find Diana Rigg attractive please hand your penis back into the authorities because you clearly cannot be trusted to use it responsibly.
Really Matthew, she’s no Felicity Kendal, is she?
Wish I could take credit for it Matthew, but alas, I do believe it’s from a terribly witty lesbian newswoman/intellectual (who just got her own show on a major network here, MSNBC!) Rachel Maddow. And uh, yeah, I’d do her too Now that beauty would be a wildcat in bed! She’d snap Diana Rigg in two. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4tFuzfrYPg
At her age, a great many things might snap Diana Rigg in two.
Nah.. She’s no Felicity Kendal either.
Diana Rigg was the chancellor of my university, so she had to something weird thing with a hat at the graduation.
It was a bit odd. I mean, we only shared a few brief seconds together, but I think we’ll both treasure them for the rest of our lives.
And she is still pretty spritely. Even if it is a bit like fancying one of your nan’s friends.
Which is just wrong…
…or is it?
Ooh! Bart! While you’re here – there’s a question for you over on the Micah P. Hinson thread..
What weird thing did Diana Rigg have to do with a hat? Did it involve ping-pong balls and a chair on the other side of the room?..
So many questions, so little time.
She had to touch my head with a hat. I dunno if thats a normal graduation thing, symbolising the passing of knowledge or whatever. I didn’t really pay much attention to what else was going on – I was too excited to be in the same room as Diana Rigg.
Good thing Matthew wasn’t there too.
They would have needed to call the cleaner with a mop and bucket!
