Topic: Doppelgangers!!!

[Hyacinth]

Well, they do say that everyone has a 'double' but I reckon I was one of at least triplets...

First off...today parked my car in a v.v.busy carpark & was walking to the store when I was waved at enthusiastically by an elderly (ie older than me) couple ...as we neared I did a mental compute...and no! I'd never come cross them before and their faces, also, dropped........."SO sorry!" they said......."Thought you were our niece..." (later, much later, when I'd gone round the store, I actively sought them out, and found them in the caffeteria..."And just how old is your niece?" I demanded, as they tucked into their fish'n'chips....) ;D

Secondly...this niece must get around a bit & deff. keeps (for me) anti-social hours....in approx the same area I've been 'accused' ???/told...that I've walked past a friend's house at 10.30am on a Sunday morning? :o

But the most bizzarre was in Singapore.......I actually had to sign Autograph books for American tourists because the more I insisted I wasn't the person they were thinking of, the more sure they were that I WAS..
but in incognito-like....

But what really prompted this posting was the sight of 'Saddam Hussain' yesterday on the tele....C'mon here...that was Robin Cook, right??? ;D ;D ;D - Lishka

I don't know about people who look like me or people to whom I bear a passing resemblence, but the scariest thing for me was walking into a room a few years ago after an elderly Uncle's funeral and seeing 6 versions of my father sat round the room. I had to look closely to see which was the real thing. All cousins, all almost exactly alike. Odd!

Aaaagh - memories.

10-15 years ago, my own kids would see Gerry Adams on the TV news - "hey, there's Dad!"  All very funny - they were young.

Only problem was that I was then flying over to Belfast every couple of months as part of my job ----- and, boy, did I get taken apart coming back thru Leeds-Bradford airport.  Grilled, searched, the lot - used to take me longer to get 20 yards through the airport than it did to fly from Belfast!

All best, Gavin

PS - it was good for being offered the odd few pints in certain pubs, though!

 Ozzy you are naughty.......
I, of course often get mistaken for someone called Norma Jean, before she died of course.............

[Ragged Robin]

....or perhaps it was after she'd met her demise :( !!!!

I am the spitting image of someone yet to become famous,wish they would hurry up-I could do with the stand in fees ;D.

[Suze_O]

Strangely enough, I got mistaken for someone famous when I was at Changi airport as well.

They all crowded round crying 'Lishka, 'Lishka .............

I usually get mistaken locally for a nurse at the local hospital, in fact I was at a party and someone refused to believe I was not said Sister so I am afraid I had to anaesthetize him in the end with copious amounts of alcohol  :D

[Ragged Robin]

As I was a nusre in a previous exsistence I was always being told
       "..........Oh didn't recognise you with your clothes on......."
Doesn't happen nowadays..much!!

[Suze_O]

I always think - do I really look like Morticia???????

Cara Mia, Cara Mia ..........
