I know what you mean, discolady.
For the first 2 weeks I couldn't stand his moaning and whinging and he was my very first nomination (along with Jade, I think). Then, for some reason, I started finding his moaning funny instead of annoying (a mixture of Frank Spencer's voice and Victor Meldrew's grumpiness).
He just grew on me, I suppose, like a wart!!!!
