    I agree with the text ("older, fatter and uglier") rather than the title ("old, fat and ugly").
    I particularly agree that it should be stated that way round, rather than "younger, etc, in real life", as the reference should, where possible, be the biological norm.

    I used to be on TV quite a lot and I absolutely loathed the way I looked - I appeared to be some kind of squat, balding, shiny, pug-faced goblin. I'm no Brad Pitt, but I like to flatter myself that I don't look quite that bad in real life.

    Agreed. The latter phrase is somewhat insensitive, to say the least.
  • :D Nothing a bit of botox can't cure :D .

    Seriously, I wouldn't worry about it. I've got less hair, teeth, and more fat than I had years ago. I'm a better person than I was though (guess I have to make more effort these days)

    Personally I love Martin for his brain most of all. I get shivers up my spine at the weekly email ! I don't think him to be old or fat and besides I don't like skinny men.

    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!

    I have actually seen (and got a photo with *ahem*) Martin, and I say ... PHWOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Martin it's true, you are very good looking in real life (and such a sweetie!)
    but this does NOT mean that you are fat, ugly and old on TV.. :confused: men eh! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hi folks...

    I promise I wasn't fishing for compliments, just writing an amusing episode... though thanks for all saying such nice things...

    Off to pluck my eyebrows now ;)

    Martin

    You need to get yourself over to the boots grabbit thread and get yourself some beautifying bargains :rotfl:

    BTW I mean you need to to make you feel better, not because you actually need beautifying stuff :o
