I'm sure I am not the only member here who been attracted to these guys while watching live vids on Youtube.

I think Revenge-era Peter Hook was pretty sexy looking...all clad in leather and whatnot.

Revenge - Pineapple Face

and Hook live in Toronto without his shirt! Yummy!

Perfect Kiss Toronto

And I always thought Morris was pretty good looking in a tall, geeky kind of way.

Definitely Bernard, he used to be really good looking, especially in the mid 80s.

Obviously now it's probably Tom Chapman.

I think Bernard was voted Best Bum in Just Seventeen 1987, so it must be true.

Dear New Order, Please get that fucking EP out asap. Look how desperate your fans are to find something to talk about in the meantime. Including me. Bugger. I'da thunk the only member (tee hee) of the group with remote sex symbol status has to be Bernard circa 86 - 93, before the wayward lifestyle finally caught up with him, all in one night it seems. I knew several girls who fancied him and I remember reading in Just Seventeen (so it must be true) a letter re 'A guy was bugging me in a bar but I didn't mind as he looked a bit like the singer of New Order'. Given their relatively low profile though... Gillian is the best-looking girl in the group. This is a joke, because she is the only girl in the group, you see? Incidentally, back in my late teens I tried to knock one out over Gillian, but in those days I'd grab anything with my free hand the minute my parents left the house. It wasn't a particularly good wank, partly cos I don't find her attractive, partly cos I was scared the pause function'd go off just before I did and I'd end up shooting my wad all over Hooky's beard or something. Still, wanks are the opposite of One Direction: even when they're bad, they're good. PS Dear Santa, I no longer believe in you as I cannot believe that one guy can visit every single kid in the world in one night. And not touch at least one of them. After all, you are both a celebrity and (cos it's Christmas) a man of the Church. That said, I would like to be Matt Cardle at 2.05 - 2.12 of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGrH4FAKH1U

Bernard during the 80s was very sexy, especially in shorts!

Gillian has always been one of my fancies, she was very beautiful when she was younger, and still good looking today too!

I think there's a gillian for everyone, she went through a lot of styles, goth in the early days to short hair etc.

For me - Gillian's simply not present, pretty or charismatic enuff to be fanciable. Even now The Other Two look really nervy and geeky in interviews, you'da thought they'd be a little more confident after all these years. But it's all down to individual taste, I guess. PS Just for the record: Cameron Diaz is the woman I'd most like to have a shower with. Melanie C is the woman I'd most like to have a shower with and get engaged to after. Or before. Or during, it wouldn't make much difference at this point.

today they each have an inner beauty that shines wonderfully brightly . on stage each is humble and confidant and grateful and beautiful . not too long ago, many glimpses of their sublime beauty were caught in time. peter, stephen, and bernard were nearly hidden by lights in their staggeringly beautiful and angelic photo at the new york disco 1991. or the 5 songs on youtube from 1983 featuring an angry and tough and tanned bernard in white hot pants and windblown blonde hair in the bbc studio, having just arrived from sunny cornwall. the fascinating glimpses within true faith. and especially, in 1993, star test' s finest 25 minutes- an interview with bernard as magnificent as anything. he is thoroughly fabulous . or the concert from montreaux, 1993, which tantalizingly lacks "special" ( although mentioned on the set list it is absent ). i also like to remember peter de freitas and ian mcculloch and les pattison and will sergeant touring with new order . beauty everywhere.

Thank you Mel, my nads will Never Be The Same Again either. I told Melanie C she'd had a clandestine relationship with my pet kangaroo. She wasn't convinced. She said, 'Is yer wallaby my lover?'

You're right, guaranteed boner every time... What right-thinking guy could fail to shoot his wad just beholding these beautiful, knock-out, fuckable creations? How heads must turn every time these totally shagworthy hunks of sex walk down the street. Lads, chuck out every porno you ever bought and feast your eyes on this unequivocal wank fodder. http://thesecondbesttime.blogspot.it/2011/07/talking-with-peter-hook.html http://www.mikethefanboy.com/scotty-meets-new-order-1980s-awesomeness-bernard-sumner-stephen-morris-gillian-gilbert-los-angeles-greek-theater-concert-review-autographs/

Fuck yeah, all the blood rushes to my head http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00s3bbm How does she stay so fuckable and not a hint of make-up either? How she never became a super-model is beyond me. Am I the only person who finds the Other Two totally lacking in umph? I'm always amazed how nery, nerdy and turdy they come across in interviews. Steve still has difficulty getting his w-w-w-words out, giving a straight answer and looking at the camera - and GG never says anything at all unless she's addressed diretly and even then it's accompanied by a nervous giggle and more nervous playing with her fringe. The album're bland too - 20 years for some anonymous instrumentals and SAW synthpop. Zzzzzzzzzz.

Thought Sum always did and still does look a bit of a faggot. Always thought PH's rugged looks and willingness to dispense the odd kicking would gained him more appeal; kind of thought his vocals we better un'all.

Gillian, on the grounds that I don't find blokes attractive enough to want to grapple. (Actually, Ana Matronic, EVERY TIME, she was a member for about 10 minutes in 2005 and I'd ruin her faster than a footballer driving a sports car after a night at a crap disco in Essex)

Yes, more sensible quotes. Hooky is a randy fuckpot and the nicest guy in music http://www.factmag.com/2014/03/05/peter-hook-calls-bernard-sumner-twatto-claims-that-he-stole-new-order/ - he has the best voice too, as The Light's 'True Faith' proves.

I would have sex with Ana(l) Matronic - but I would make love to Melanie C. Romantic ain't I?
