I was relying on Emma to back me up!

Ok, if he doesn't do it for you, go to YouTube and watch The Boomtown Rats singing Rat Tap. Bob Geldof is possibly the sexiest man on the planet.

I had never heard of this guy, so I wikepedia'd him.

"famous for his rugged good looks"?????

He's not pretty, but there is something compelling about him. He may earn a spot on Emma's DO LIST.


Jimmy Nail is an English actor and singer (born March 16, 1954, Gleneagles Close Newcastle-upon-Tyne, ,) famous for his rugged looks, hit singles and a strong Newcastle accent, although sometimes it is weaker, depending on what role he is playing and who he is talking to. The son of James Bradford and Laura Johnson, his birth name was James Michael Aloysius Bradford, which he changed to "Nail" after he stepped on a six inch long spike in a glass factory.

In the late 1970s the 6ft 2.5inch geordie sung in a Newcastle pub band called the King Crabs, more often than not wearing a woman's dress.

He rose to fame playing Leonard Jeffrey 'Oz' Osborne in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet in 1983, despite having no acting experience. He was on his way to collect his social security benefit when he passed the audition centre and was spotted by writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais who immediately approached him and asked if he could act. Nail was helped through the process of basic acting and acquiring Equity status, and landed the part of Oz, for which he gained great acclaim.

Jimmy Nail has also starred in a number of films and had a long musical career, having been a singer before he was picked out at an audition to play Oz.

Nail spent six months in prison for causing grevious bodily harm following a drunken football match fight in his twenties.

After the first two series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, Nail found himself typecast and had no more major breaks until the detective series, Spender, which he co-wrote. This was followed by Crocodile Shoes, which also featured Nail as a musician. On the strength of his musical performances in the series he released a number of albums. Mark Knopfler plays guitar on some tracks, a compliment that was repaid with an important plot reference to Oz's being a fan of Dire Straits in the third (revived) series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (2002). He was also the subject of a popular joke at the time, involving another celebrity, Rustie Lee. It would be asked what her name would be after a marriage to Jimmy Nail, with the answer being, Rustie Nail.
