YES! i noticed that immediately! I dont know if I would have
described it as disgust, more as taking a slight bit of offense...
but it was definately a negatiove feeling there...

He gets very annoyed, but then quickly backs off (to look

Heh - indeed. I liked it - it was a great way to neutralise the
situation - prattling around with a bit of humour - and i think the
audience loved him even more for doing so - just like when he was
talking about russian roulette and finding the most gullable
person... heh...

My dress sense has always been varied, but for going out and so on i
always go black. Been accused of being a goth quite often - but thats
just me - there's always some black there, occassionally red
(scarlett - just cos i look good in red - tis my colour :) and purple
sometimes too - a very subdued colour..... where were we? suddenly
moved to clothes...

He has definately lost a lot of his hair. That could be anything -
premature ageing due to genetics, or perhaps stress. Poor lad. I hope
he isnt paranoid about it - things like that can ruin a guy's life
(apparently)


One other thing Id like to add - when derren is guessing the
placename he says an "O" instead of an "R" granted an "O" is in there
anyway, but I couldnt help but laugh - we're talking about
Johnathan "WOSS" here aren't we? If derren was using lip/throat
reading cues, is it possible that the slight error was due to
Johnathans highly noticeable speech? Perhaps.... just perhaps...
