Again in the bank today my ugly distinctly un-celeb chops were mistaken by a star struck fifty-something woman. Urg.


Weird how people draw totally random connections, some with no pattern. In a lifetime I've been asked if I'm:


- David Tenant after hitting the burgers (this happens mainly in Lloyd's bank branches)

- Dougie Freedman (Ex Crystal Palace boss)

- Pee Wee Herman

- Damian from Home and Away

- Ricky Martin (possibly a compliment but it was back in 1998 and I had a tan)



Yours?

Gaz Coombes from Supergrass, circa 95 when "Alright" came out.


Che Guevara, by a surprising number of people, I never would have said it myself.


And years ago, a character from Northern Exposure (which I never really watched) but think that was just due to long hair and leather jacket.

You can get up and sing (/mime) if you want, I'm sure no-one will know the difference.

Carl McCoy of Fields Of The Nephilim at a Screaming Blue Messiahs gig at the Marquee, in my full on goth days.


Will Self in a cigar shop although to be fair he was next to me and as I glanced in the mirror opposite it was me getting confused. Drink may have been taken.
