What we’ve been talking about this month February 14 is supposed to be a day for loving partners to get closer or for a singleton to ensnare (in a nice, non- threatening way) the object of their affections. Yet, Valentine’s Day is generally an occasion that most people dread: what if it all goes horribly wrong on the big day? Well, we thought it would be a jolly jape to take ourselves out of scary, stressful real life and asked a bunch of List-ers who their ideal fictional date would be...
VERONICA MARS
‘I’d either end up tagging along on some crime- busting PI work. Or
accused of a crime which Veronica would them
solve. Or murdered. Either way, it would make for an
interesting day’
LEGOLAS (LORD OF THE RINGS)
‘He’s got an awesome bow
and arrow and he
would take me horseback riding through magical
Mirkwood’
FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY
(HARRY POTTER) ‘They are red heads, twins and they own a magical joke shop in
Hogsmeade’
ELAINE BENES (SEINFELD)
‘To see if I am sponge worthy...’
HEATHCLIFF (WUTHERING HEIGHTS)
‘Because he’s sure to be good for a tumble on
the moors’
GEORGE
BAILEY (IT’S A WONDERFUL
LIFE) ‘Renewed
appreciation for his life, so he’d probably go all out’
BASIL (GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE) + ROBIN
HOOD (DISNEY’S) ‘These guys are just
pure dashing’
2 THE LIST 5 Feb–2 Apr 2015
MOONFACE
(THE FARAWAY TREE)
‘He makes the
best Pop Biscuits! #pregnancycravings’
JAMES BOND
(ROGER MOORE) ‘I could spend the day just watching his eyebrow go up and swooning! Oh and then I could finish the day by uttering those
famous words ‘Oh James’. I’m blushing
but it’s true! BTW please don’t send
me pictures of Roger Moore as he is now: I’m aware he now looks like a turtle :(’
SHERLOCK HOLMES (BASIL
RATHBONE) ‘One could
spend an entire day ejaculating with incredulity in a pipe fog
punctuated by the odd satanic leer. A bit like clubbing in the 90s’
NURSE JACKIE
‘She’s got access
to all the good stuff and doesn’t
give a hoot’
