maybe i am blinded by hero worship (or ignorance)
blinded, yes. but i reckon odeon had it about right when he said hero worship - you do tend to be blind to the less palatable bits of people who've grabbed your interest.
apart from anything else, i don't believe eamonn thinks any of this is important enough to make some sort of cunning plan for it - it's just banter, cos he probably has better things to do with his life. (i could be wrong about this, of course).
i like eyebrows. mine are suggestive, apparently. (some people on here can say whether they agree with that or not - i'm still not sure i understand what it means, precisely...)
