Fair play to him, he gets enough stick on here (not a fan at all btw - he doesn't let people answer questions, far too concerned with thinking up his next joke which strangles the discussion imo - and there's little enough already).
I think he's a bit too self-aware and trying too hard, but again I would be too if I was a member here and read some of these extreme posts about me, it must be quite hurtful.
