	He first appeared as Avid Merrion, wearing a neck brace - I believe that was also a 'gimmick'. He should have tried being funny instead. Creepy.

	Can't stand him. Just don't find him funny. Love Eddie Izzard, though. And supporting his current fund raising marathons in Africa. http://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/celebrity-news/eddie-izzard-completes-10th-marathon-out-of-27-for-epic-sports-relief-challenge-a3196276.html Lovely bloke and a tireless worker for charity.

	;-) indeed, our Rose. Alexander Armstrong has Hobbit ears. I don't like him much, a bit smug.

	As I said earlier I haven't come across Keith Lemon - don't think I will be looking for him either. I do like Eddie Izzard and Alexander Armstrong is in the "neither like nor dislike" category, but I don't think he can be held to blame for the shape of his ears (I thought Dr Spock :-D)

Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 3,307 Send Message	Alexander Armstrong has a lovely singing voice though and he can't help the shape of his ears....and he is ntelligent. Does anyone remember when we used to sleep our babies on one side and then the other and tuck the ear flat so they wouldn't stick out? We never put them on their backs when little,but swaddled them,arms tucked in. I don't know whether it was an old wives tale about sticky out ears ,but it was what we were told then.

	"He/she who is born without ears can never wear spectacles". (Or something like that - with apologies to Mr Spock.) :-D
