Have you ever been mistaken for someone else?

It has happened to me a few times: I've had some flattering, some devastating and some truly baffling. Al Capone, Gordon Brown and D'arcy Bushell but not necessarily in that order. A few others too.

What about you?

I'm frequently mistaken for a taxi driver or ATM mostly by the Clangers.

D'arcy Bushell?? you mean Darcey Bussell the slim elegant dancer?

or Gary Bushell?

D'arcy Bushell? Maybe you should give up wearing a tutu Porty?

It is the resemblance to Al Capone that worries me; he died in 1947 so will be well decomposed by now!

When younger I was mistaken for Chris Evert, though now I get Fern Britton (pre-gastric band alas!

)

I've a friend who has been mistaken for Kylie Minogue.

Porty - You forgot about the time we were in George Street for a drink and you got mistaken for Robert De Niro. Infact she was so taken by the likeness she bought you a drink!

Oh yes!! That was quite a remarkable day not in the least becaues we witnessed the real Ally McCoist weeping uncontrollably.

was he crying because you were "recognised" as a star and he wasn't???

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 19 Sep 2008, 10:46

No!!

Ally was crying cos he just lost the Scottish Cup to Hearts at Parkhead and it was supposed to be his swansong.(Poor chap)

It really was a fantastic day and the RDN story is true. And it wa sonly about 8pm-they seemed sober.
