Famous Forumites

[jumpinjackflash]

Happy Friday!

As an avid EDF forumite (although I read far more than I post), I often wonder what you all look like. I already have images of a few of you in my head - Keef, for some reason I think that you probably look like David Arquette, and Dulwichmum probably looks like Felicity Kendall! So, my question is, what famous person do you look like? Keef/DM feel free to put me straight!!

[KalamityKel]

JJF have you not checked out the pics from past forum drinking sessions? lol u mite b a teeny bit disappointed in your guesstimations of wot/whom we look like :)

[jumpinjackflash]

OK will look - will see if there are any David Arquette/Felicity Kendalls in there somewhere!!

[annaj]

The only famous person I've ever been told I look like it Tanita Tikaram.

Less often since the 80s finished and I learnt about eyebrow threading.

Does that enlighten you at all?

[KalamityKel]

incredibly so

[jumpinjackflash]

I remember her - "bla bla bla my sobriety" song - don't know the words!

[TillieTrotter]

A few people have said I look like that Tanya character from EastEnders recently!::o

[KalamityKel]

Tanya in her recent state? ::o

[Keef]

David Arquette would be pretty cool, but alas I'm told by more than one person I'm more of a Jack Black :-S

[annaj]

It was Twisting My Sobriety and was as cheerful as the title sounds.

Strangely deep voice for a women.

I never thought of it as flattering.

More recently I have been told I look like Abbie from ER. I don't see it myself and, rather worryingly, when Mr J heard that he said "no you don't, I really fancy her!"

Jack Black's pretty cool! Have you seen School of Rock? Our boy's favourite movie at the moment - inspiring him to learn the Smoke On The Water riff, and to blather on about 'sticking it to the man'

[Cassius]

I was a bit like Paula Yates mid 80's - both short, slim and with white blonde grade 3 crops and eccentric clothing - but that was a long time ago - although I am still short LOL!

[barrymarshall]

where are these photos?

I've been told (in the dim and distant past) by several people (including an actor who worked with her) that I looked like Lisa Goddard but I don't agree.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Shrek, me.

[buggie]

I use to get told I looked like Caroline Quentin back when men behaving badly was popular, Annaj - you're much lovelier than Tanita Tikeram!

[KalamityKel]

last EDF drinks

[david_carnell]

A Top-Gun era Val Kilmer, only without the rippled body or the gleaming teeth (sigh).

This was according to two drunk Americans I met in Venice, so I don't hold too much water by it.

[KalamityKel]

Darn that David! ;-)

[Jah Lush]

People have often come up to me thinking I'm someone else over the years, maybe I have that sort of familiar face. These days I keep getting compared to that oxygen thief Pete Docherty. I can't see it really, maybe my younger self but certainly not now.

[ratty]

I look like Keith Gillespie with a beer belly.

[mockney piers]

David Schwimmer has been mentioned before, which is far too flattering.

I've I'm honest it's Paul from the Wonder Years

Geeky and strangely Jewish looking, even though I'm not. (Jewish, of course I'm geeky)

Even the Israelis at work think I'm in denial!!

[RosieH]

back in the 80s someone said Carole Decker (from T'Pau in case you'd forgotten)

a couple of years ago, someone came up to me in the street shouting "madonna, madonna". he had just walked out of the gates of the Maudlsey to put it in context

That has given me faith that there is hope for the future! :)-D

Having seen a couple of your 70s photos I have to admit there is a likeness! It's okay, his looks make him very popular with a lot of the ladies, he's just a complete terd, but we never said you shared anything in personality! ;-)

I have been compaired to Sigourney weaver, Helena bonhan carter and one of the little evil kids where i work once told me i looked like kelly osbourne not best pleased!! the other two i can deal with!
