If that's an F1 reference it might be worth editing it Ben? I don't watch it but someone's bound to get annoyed at the spoiler?

Yeah, pretty naughty of Ben - edited it as a moderator rather than a regular edit, so it doesn't show up as an edit on his post, and I look like a prick. Nothing new there then :)

Nice one. I don't follow sport much but can definitely see the resemblance. I suck at posting images but in recent weeks 3 strangers have told me I look like Christopher-Mintz-Plasse AKA McLovin' AKA Ogie from Role Models AKA Red Mist from Kick Ass.

NB I'm definitely due another haircut.

Just got home from the Take That gig at Villa Park (which was fantastic BTW). Either Lesley Hines was there being derided by Robbie Williams in front of 48,000 people, or she has a doppelganger. I need to know which.

Not me - going tomorrow :D My sister-in-law was there, and she does look quite a lot like me. I'll get back to you :lol: I definitely have at least one doppelganger tho - ice skating in Solihull some peeps came up to me, seemed to know me well, insisted I'd told them I wasn't going to be joining them that day, and walked off declaring they didn't know why I'd gone weird on them. I'd never seen them before.

Afterthought: I'm only interested in being *rided by Jason Orange ;)

Haha. That would be so funny if it was her. Just to elaborate, there was this woman standing with her arms folded looking distinctly unimpressed during Robbie's solo set, and he asked her if she was "one of those Take That fundamentalists... you know the ones I mean? (mimicking grumpy old woman's voice) 'I think you'll find Take That are a four-piece band'... Come on love, if Gary Barlow can forgive me, I'm sure you can."

Excellent story. Maybe we need a thread for "the time I was mistaken for someone else" anecdotes.
Afterthought: I'm only interested in being *rided by Jason Orange ;)
Yeah, I hear he's looking for a new beard. :roll:
Afterthought 2: Pet Shop Boys!!! Yeah baby :D
Get there early - we missed them entirely (although we heard quite a bit of their set on the 40-minute walk from the car park).

Not her (apparently). Funnily enough, I think a purist would call Take That a five piece :lol:

I've just seen a Tony Atkins lookalike in Euston. It wasn't him, but could easily have been his brother or something.
Mike Brown: "Round 12: T N R S A E I G U

C1: SIGNATURE (18) ["9; not written down"]
C2: SEATING (7)
Score: 108–16 (max 113)

Another niner for Adam and yet another century. Well done, that man."

I meant Graeme Cole looks like my friend Colin....he only looks like one of those blokes in that picture! Someone better than me can put the two pictures on here for all to see. Someone suggested using the "img" button but it didn't work when I tried it....not too good with technology.

Surprised nobody commented that the girl who was on earlier in the week Megan Jephson looked very much like actress Helen Baxendale, perhaps best known as Ross's girlfriend in Friends. I actually thought it was her at first.
