what ever happened to the mugshot thread? i'd like to know what you geezers look like.

I walked in a pub once and some bloke shouted "Oi Jamie, where's your scooter?".
(For Zhao, he was talking about an irritating tv chef called Jamie Oliver, he rides a scooter I believe

I used to know this bloke who looked exactly like Tom Hanks, he really was the spit of him. If you went anywhere with him it would be quite common for him to say "it's happened again" and indicate where someone would be pointing to their friend and mouthing "Look, that bloke looks just like Tom Hanks".

What? You don't look anything like him! And I'm not just saying that because you're my mate, or anything.
Weird.

Not quite as impressive as if people were literally saying "Look, Tom Hanks!"

*Richard E. Grant's character in Withnail & I, for the benefit of anyone who's never been a university student in the UK

if you'd been likened to REG rather than the character would be a whole different deal eh?

ie it would transmute magically into an insult

the only one i've had a few times- and which to my mind is utterly fucking ridiculous- is John Lennon, but i've long since stopped wearing glasses. and having long hair.

OUCH. i've had one really cunty one i'm actually too vain to relate.

 

[zhao]

OUCH.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Actually, Rich, I take that back - I can definitely see it now.

Buddy Holly. Elvis. 'The Smiths'. Buddy Holly. Billy Fury. Buddha ( I shaved my head to stop the Elvis stuff, walked out of my house and literallly, literally within 10 seconds someone went 'Oi, Buddha. I nearly cried ). Buddy Holly. Woody Woodpecker. Buddy Holly.

Then I got contact lenses and now more recently it's Colin Farrell.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Why not combine two looks in one and become Buddhy Holly?

cracker post a pic of your Arabic friend

The comparison to Omar Sharif had more to do with the lack of famous female Arabs than any actual resemblance, i guess. That and the big bristly tash.

The only pics of her I've got on my pooter are of her lounging on the beach from our recent holiday in Barca. Don't think she'd appreciate me sticking up pics of her big tits, though i'm willing to discuss emailing jpegs via my pm box and paypal account

My least favourite: Bar man in a pub in Oxford reckoned I resembled Rick Astley (untrue, and it still hurts...)

Priceless. Suddenly your millenarian Maoism seems almost endearing

Don't you start. I actually snapped the glasses in two, never again lol.

miguel bosé on good days this about five years ago, before going bald

"OUCH. i've had one really cunty one i'm actually too vain to relate."

Well, it didn't hurt too much because I honestly believe that there wasn't the slightest grain of truth in it. I guess I do have hair of a vaguely similar colour but that's about it. Especially then when I was a lot thinner...

I need a new passport and have to get some photos done. I asked the guys in my football team where the nearest photo booth type thing might be and one replied with "don't worry about it, I can just give you a picture of Boris Johnson and you can use that". Cunt.

 

[hucks]

A mate of mine used to get a whole world of Daniel Beddingfield lookalike hassle a couple of years ago, when Beddingfield was still famous. Every time we went out he'd get some joker giving it a bit of Gotta Get Thru This. Often that joker was me.

Jeez, I'm glad you're name is Rich and not R*b. There's a Boris Johnson looky-likey AND soundalike who I hope never to have any kind of contact with again.

"Jeez, I'm glad you're name is Rich and not R*b. There's a Boris Johnson looky-likey AND soundalike who I hope never to have any kind of contact with again."

Can I just make it clear that I do not accept that I look anything like Boris Johnson.

When I was younger and prettier and wore contact lenses I used to get cat-called by groups of women who thought I looked like Jim Carey. Gah.

 

[Lichen]

More than once: the drummer out of Blur.

Older women have claimed I resemble Nigel Havers. Could just be the cashmere and navy balzer though.

John Hurt has come up too. Not unhappy with that, in fact.

Pete Doherty told me I looked like Mike Skinner and then him and Babyshambles started singing some lyrics from a Streets tune at me. Wasn't a track off the first album though.
