barry - // Shame on you, Andy. It is cruel, spiteful personal comments like yours that cause people to be so insecure and unhappy that they resort to plastic surgery. //
No, it's not.
People who have plastic surgery do so because they are unhappy with an aspect, or aspects of themselves that they want altered.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with what other people think - plenty of people who are insecure about their appearance can seek, and receive, honest views from people they trust that there is nothing that needs 'modification'.
That will make absolutely no difference to the individual who remains insecure and wants changes made, they will have them anyway.
Take Katie Price as a prime example.
Poll one hundred people and ask them if Katie Price before surgery needed anything changing about her, and the majority would say she was a perfectly normal pretty young woman.
Ms Price clearly thinks otherwise and has embarked on a series of altering procedures leaving her virtually unrecognisable from her first days as a model.
The media is littered with endless examples of people who have gone to extreme lengths to adjust their appearance, and it's almost entirely down to self-image and comfort, and virtually nothing to do with what other people think or say.
Ms Robinson puts herself in the media and has built an entire career out of being a 'nasty' person - I seriously doubt she is remotely bothered by the opinions of any strangers, which is why I am perfectly happy to express mine on here.
/ I thought you were better than that //
Clearly I am, I am aware of Ms Robinson's persona, and her willingness to place herself in the firing line for the views of the public, it goes with being a 'media personality' - I know, it's something I make a living exploring.

Another cheer for the departure of Ms Robinson - her 'interactions' with the contestants and guests have all the spontaneity and wit of an oak wardrobe - thank goodness for the fast-forward button.
One of the key elements of the main host's job is to know when to shut up and keep the programme moving - something that AR was so poor at. It's not a job for a self-promoting show-off, like Brandreth or Giedroyc - they may be ideal for other shows (or even as guests on Countdown), but the main host needs to be rather more self-effacing.
I'd vote for Colin Murray - I'd not come across him before his stints as guest and presenter of Countdown, but was mightily impressed with his gentle humour and his obvious love of the game.
