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!

I, of course often get mistaken for someone called Norma Jean, before she died of course.............
-
....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.
-
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

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!!
