Pop star look-alikes…

[CharlieB]

Just an idle muse, but there's a guy gets on my train at Chesham 1st thing in the morning who looks exactly like Sting, c.1979/80, i.e. when the Police were at apogee. Honestly, if I thought I could take a discreet photo and attach it here, I would.

I keep wanting him to break into 'sending out an SOS' etc., just to see if he sounds the same.

Does anyone else have these strange urges if they see a look-alike?

There's a woman gets on the train at my station who does a passable version of Heather from Eastenders.

I used to go horse racing with the landlord of my local who was the spitting image of Amos Brearly - he regularly got approached asking for his autograph etc but always returned the invariably polite enquiry with a robust F**k Off!

I felt sorry for the real AB who must have got a lot of flak about his behaviour.

I once made a house call and the lady of the house must have read the fat slags in Viz and thought to herself, "Now that's a classy look"

Would it not be best just to twat him with a cricket bat just in case it is Sting? Better safe than sorry after all.

Not look alikes but.....last week was in Ascot High St with a mate and as we walked past Barclays Bank a guy walked out. My mate said, rather too loudly, "That bloke look like that **** Jeremy Kyle" to which, and yes it was, Jeremy Kyle retorted " Yes I am that ****"

....foot in it etc, he then got into a mini and drove off

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis,


but he's a liar... and I'm not sure about you.

My form teacher at school in the early 70's was the spitting image of Kevin Keegan (the most famous footballer of his day)
He was regularily stopped in the street and would cause a pub to go silent as he walked in and invaribly his nick name was Kevin

I had lunch last week with a bloke who stood in for S'rAlan Sugar in an episode of Hustle, he was filmed chatting with Robert Vaughn in some hotel lobby. Good resemblance.

We had that woman who looks like the Quoon at college once to open the new SU bar.

We've got a director at work who looks just like the pop singer Matthew Wilder, remember him? Break My Stride, 1983!

I looked very similar to Chris De Burgh at one time and used to get people stopping and pointing in the street.. Another time I looked like Eddy Shoestring who who was a bedhopping private eye tv character of the 80s Shoestring series based in the Bristol area played by Trevor Eve.

Guy who used to run a burger van around here looked like Bob Carolgees, not really a pop star I know but slightly less annoying than String or Chris DeBurgh.

When I lived in Newcastle I used to see an elderly chap who was a dead ringer for actor Donald Moffat. (Yes, I had to look him up too)

Only just read this thread, but this is my post of the day, for yesterday.
