I'm the same !!!



In awe I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebon void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang forever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought...I must put a roof on this lavatory.

For god's sake stop this blatant fishing for compliments, Martin Lewis! Its a very unnattractive habit in a man.



Of course, we haven't seen you in "real life" so cannot compare, but if you don't scare small children there is nothing to worry about really!

Martin, you're only a little bit older than me, and you look far more dapper than I ever would. Besides, don't they say that the camera adds about 10-20 pounds, depending on who you ask?

Don't worry. I don't know how fat or thin you are because I haven't seen you in real life. But I'd definitely give you one and I'm a bloke! Lol.

Martin, you are gorgeous and god's gift to women (and apparently men !). I can't undestand why you haven't been snapped up to replace Tom Cruise/Jeremy Paxman/Simon Cowell. My invoice will be with you in 10 days - usual T&C

You can't be too worried, otherwise you wouldn't have an animated icon of yourself and a large portrait at the top of every page.

I think you have this the wrong way around Martin.

To me, you look Young, slim, and good looking on TV. Therefore if you look younger slimmer and better looking in real life, then you have it made IMO.

Those 'loose' women just wanted to tell their Mates that they had chatted you up. Just enjoy it while it still happening.
