It's thinking man's crumpet so a possessive, not an adjective but I'm not going to argue with you anymore Joe. ;)

Holly molly its a turn of phrase!!!! You're like a dog with a bone Marc!!!

In British English, the term the thinking man's crumpet refers to a woman who is intelligent and good looking, particularly one who has a high profile in the broadcast media. It derives from the slang use of the term "crumpet" to refer to a woman who is regarded as an object of sexual desire.[1]

My take on "thinking mans crumpet" is a pretty woman who would happily discuss Proust, Descartes or Quantum physics with me when she's not ravishing my beautifully toned body.





Alice Roberts fits the bill perfectly.

My take is that she should also be a bit of a "blue stocking" and not a brazen hussy or conventional beauty.

Lucy Worsley, perhaps, or Caroline Hawley?
 
Some really good suggestions so far.......

Ok guys - seeing as I'm possessive and I started the thread I'm allowed another one. Jo Blythe mmmmmmm

Consider this little Chrissy Pressy http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://hub.tv-ark.org.uk/images/weather/itvregional_images/gtv_weather_xmas07a.jpg&imgrefurl=http://wapedia.mobi/en/Jo_Blythe&h=450&w=800&sz=86&tbnid=DBY-M5DwbazOeM:&tbnh=66&tbnw=118&prev=/search%3Fq%3Djo%2Bblythe%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=jo+blythe&docid=YCb3Hq1Kz0T0NM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=csnITqf2Ncng8gP3jZ1e&sqi=2&ved=0CCYQ9QEwAA&dur=6727

^^this! she is evil.
it's like footballers advertising smoking, social responsibility.
her advertising loans and finance to an aging demographic because "ooo she's on countdown and she's good at maths" is evil.

she has quite a nice ass though.
however, can't stand her.

When I was a lad it was all about Phillipa forrester and michaela strachan
 
Nicole Scherzinger ....funny and very sexy and beautiful , no wonder Lewis Hamilton's down in the dumps :D

Value for money there:thumbs:

OK - in an effort to stop the overt sexism - how about one for the ladies?

Apart from all the hunks on here:lol:

Try this ladies- a bit old now and spread a little bit but:

Joan Bakewell, pah!

... way back when, my thinking man's crumpet was Germaine Greer. She's in her seventies now and definitely waaay too old for me, but even fifteen years ago she had that spark that would let her carry me off to her cave ...

Nowadays it's Rachael Riley [wait for Nod to find this thread] or Emanuelle Beart.

done, now lets move on pretty please with a cherry on top :lol:

And there was me thinking that 'thinking man's crumpet' is a woman who can stimulate the thinking man's intelligence as much as anything else...
 
Perhaps that's the thinking man's pikelet?

There's even a wikipedia entry about thinking man's crumpet! :lol::thumbs:
 
OK guys - this is the definition I meant..... and I'm old enough to remember when Frank Muir said it.

In British English, the term the thinking man's crumpet refers to a woman who is intelligent and good looking, particularly one who has a high profile in the broadcast media. It derives from the slang "crumpet" to refer to a woman who is regarded as an object of sexual desire, which is itself an association with the crumpet, a baked product usually eaten warm after being toasted and spread with butter.[1]
The first person to be called "the thinking man's crumpet" was Joan Bakewell – by humorist Frank Muir following her appearances in high-brow television discussion programmes such as BBC2's Late Night Line-Up.[2] Bakewell is still synonymous with the phrase, but it has subsequently been applied to other high-profile women such as Anne Gregg,[3] Joanna Lumley,[3] and Felicity Kendal,[3] and, more recently, Helen Mirren[4] and Gillian Anderson.[5] In a poll in the Radio Times in 2003, Nigella Lawson received the most votes to be the readers' "thinking man's crumpet",[6] with Carol Vorderman in second place.[7]
