have you a Doppelgänger ?

[merrymac]

When I lived in Essex in the late 70's at the height of the IRA bombings, one of my staff accused me of completely blanking her on the way into work as I supposedly drove past her without offering her a lift. It wasn’t me as I didn’t go that way & I anyway, I cycled to work. Then a few weeks later I saw myself driving another car next to me, with the window open. So I did have a doppelganger in the area. He had a black beard, big glasses, was 5’11 & spoke with an Irish accent……………… just like Gerry Adams ………………. And me.

I went straight home & shaved off the beard

have you a Doppelgänger ?

Yes and thats why I have to wear extremely long cycling shorts

Yes, though I've never met him, I saw my face on the front of a Specsavers leaflet.

When I was drafted to Gibraltar we went or a night out and the first three bars would not let me in as I was barred!

Luckily my companions were regulars and could vouch that I had only arrived that day..... I never met the "gentleman" but apparently there was another matelot who was my twin and had caused havoc the week before!

Wasn't me! I may have been very much worse for wear in Gib a few times, but I was never barred.
(Well, not that I can remember!!)

I have one who drives a taxi in Darlington. When I worked in Darlo' I was accused of not speeking to some work colleagues as I drove them home from the pub one night.

They were very convinced!

All I can say is, 'If he looks like me he's a lucky devil!'

Well, I don't know what this says about me, but apparently I've got at least three.
I've been compared to Kenny Everett, Geoff Capes and some bloke off the kids programme Rentaghost!
Also, I was once mistaken for an old schoolmate of mine, who I reckoned was the spit of Freddie Mercury.
To say nothing of Fausto......

Hope you don't get anywhere Felicity Kendall then or you'll be doing a John Cleese walk

I used to have long hair and was often compared to meatloaf.

If ever I'm caught out then I will be doing my best to sell the idea of me having a doppelganger!!

Yes, Peter Duncan, ex Blue Peter presenter and outgoing chief scout. Although I gather he's a bit shorter than me and right now I need a haircut. Never met him but would like to.

Not good!

He also had a "cinematic career", which was to put it politely "18+ rated"!

We were down in Calstock village yesterday at the (Motor)Bike Show. Loads of Harleys, Triumphs, BSAs, all the Jap bikes, and scramblers, racers, vintage and veteran stuff too. http://www.calstockbikeshow.org/

The bikers set up camps on the field and there's live music and dancing and a pub and burgers and sunshine and loads of people.

I was looking at a machine, and one chap behind me was told by his mate to keep out of the way of the guitarist! I was congratulated on my guitaring skills, but I replied that they must've got the wrong man coz I can't play!
