Never been mistaken for anyone.
I've been told I look like:-
Antonio Banderas
(including only yesterday while out, and the day before - on this site, when I briefly showed my 'real self' in an Avatar)
John Travolta
Elvis Presley
Personally I don't see it at all, but there you go.
(people do come up with clever Thread topics in The Cafe - another good one here SiGo1)
Harry, you do resemble Nigel Davenport - and believe me that is a compliment! As for Will - yes he does resemble his namesake so very much!
I have been variously compared with Rita Tushingham and Greta Garbo. The Tushingham reference was made by a bloke at a bus stop who then went on to describe how, as an assistant manager, he'd emptied an entire hotel of guests and staff on a suspected bomb alert - because someone in dark glasses had walked into the foyer carrying a briefcase. The person in dark glasses with the briefcase turned out to be a hotel inspector for a travellers' guide. The hotel didn't get the rating it was hoping for. This guy was definitely wierd which begged the question - why do I get the wierdos at bus stops?
I much prefer the Garbo reference.

Once early one evening, when on holiday in Corfu, as the sun made its way down towards the horizon over the ocean, my friend and I stopped by a roasdside taverna to take the refreshment of a cool beer whilst watching the sunset.
As we sat at our table I spied a young lad of about 10 playing kick about with his dad on the grassed area adjoining the taverna.
Never being able to resist messing with balls, given the opportunity(dont all us males have this prroblem one way or another) I challenged them to an impromptu football match. Well I took the lad on my side and we played against his father and my holiday dispensed a sound thrashing to them I thanked the lad for his contributions and returned to my table to seek more refreshemnt and cool down a little.
A few minutes later the lad turned up at our table with paper and pen in hand....whats this for I enquired ......Well , said the lad , my dad and I reckon you're Kenny Dalgleish and I wondered if I could have your autograph.
Oh what a marevellous moment ....especially as I look nothing like the soccer hero.
So I put him right on his mistake but gave him my autograph anyway and told him ....thats rarer than Kenny Dagleish's Autograph .....theres only one of those in the world.
He went away beaming ....and so was I
????????? ...... does that count! :lickface:
I think that would count in most peoples book :inlove:
Had a couple of days off for the Mids Munch and returned to work to find a picture of Bill Bailey on my desk wall with "Self Portrait" written underneath it. Work mates eh ? Ho hum.
*Many* years ago, in my more rotund days, I was travelling to see friends south of Dublin. Gained hoardes of little screaming kids annoying the hell out of me thinking I was Andrew Strong from "The Commitments". Little oiks.
So it seems anybody with beard and long hair fits the bill where my looky-likey is concerned. Double ho hum.
