Weird 'generic bloke' in gmail

[bonj2]

Does anybody else keep seeing this generic bloke in their list of contacts on gmail, thinking it's somebody you know, wondering who, and then realising it isn't the picture of one of your contacts at all but just some bloke?

I wonder who it actually is, and whether his mates take the piss about him being on EVERYONE's gmail.

Yes, I see him, and have just about got used to remembering I don't know him...

what's gmail?

It's a free email account by Google. gmail is short for googlemail, as I understand it.

I keep thinking it's McBludgeon, then realise it's just the "generic bloke" as Bonj so aptly puts it.
