Anyone recognise this guy?

Post by JimBentley »

He's from some scammy money-making system website, but his face is weirdly familiar, like I know him from the telly or something. Anyone recognise him? He calls himself "George Brown" if that's any help and talks with a vaguely Cockney accent.

That sort of nonsense leads us nowhere. Actually, it does lead us somewhere but it's not a place I'm planning on going. Anyone got any actual info?

Excellent. I'm assuming about 32,000,000 men in the UK, but obviously I can rule out a lot of them for being too old, too young, etc. I've been conservative here but I reckon about 7,000,000 men could fit the bill. Now Jono's ruled himself out, we're 0.00000014285% of the way there! Oh, and it's not me either, so make that 0.0000002857%. I reckon we can crack this before the end of the night.

Is it this guy? He doesn't look exactly the same, but it could be the lighting/angle etc.

Trouble with a common name, isn't it? Your one died in 1985, whereas this one is still alive. You know, I think it might even be a made up name.

0.00002857% (or just plain 0.0000002857), surely?
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

So you think he might be trying to hide his identity then! So you think if you suggested it might be someone, they might deny it? Back to Jono then...

I know he reminds me of Johnny Vaughan as well for some reason, it's the way he talks. But it is not him either.

Nothing to do with the last one (I never did get to find out who he was), but this is fun for people of a certain age. Who do you think this is? It's a recent photo.

It is indeed. I was just shocked at how old he looks for someone who has always tended to look much younger than his actual years.

If you obscure his hair he actually looks like Chris Packham a bit.

If you obscure his face he actually looks like Germaine Greer a bit.
