Ho Ho Ho!!!!!

My home town makes national news!

Typical!

Who do you look like?

I have, against my better judgement, been posting a fair number of photos of myself recently, and these have drawn a number of comments.  Two in particular told me that I had a resemblance to famous people.

 

Now my wife has, from time to time, compared me with Roger Daltry, the singer from The Who:

 

 

Wigsf3 went a stage further and said that I look like the love child of Roger and Eric Idle:

 

Not sure how that is supposed to happen but I guess anything is possible with modern science!

 

And how could I complain about being compared with such giants of rock and comedy?  Maybe I should try singing more often to see which one I sound like?  Maybe I should sing the words of "We won't get fooled again" to the tune of "Always look on the bright side of life"?

 

Terri also found me a lookalike - Judd Hirsch:

 

Not an actor who I could have named, to be honest, but certainly someone who seems to have been on TV as long as I can remember!  And he really does look like me!  I want a paternity test!  That guy must be worth a fortune by now!

 

My wife sometimes says I look like Gene Wilder:

 

Another genius of comedy - is there a message here that I don't look like someone who should be taken seriously?  I can live with that!  Being takes seriously has all sorts of bad side effects anyway!

 

Finally, my wife has also been known to compare my hair with this guy's hair:

 

When she does that, I know it won't be long before I am sitting in the kitchen having a hair cut.

 

Wigsf 's comment reminded me of the best compliment I have ever had - being told that I looked like Aragorn:

 

 

Total rubbish, but I can take it  :-)

 

OK, your turn now!

What is that noise?

There has been a lot of shouting, cheering, booing, crashing and blowing of whistles somewhere outside.

We don't know what it is, but have some theories.

They are having a game of something at the private school next door, probably with the losers being nailed to a wall somewhere.  Private schools have traditions like that.

They are having a game of football at the prison, which is also next door. Either that or they are having a riot. We have heard a lot of sirens going off this morning. Maybe it is both, with a riot breaking out after each goal.

It is the start of the zombie apocolypse.  If so, we are ready to defend the department with metal tipped ranging poles and rock hammers.  I have a few days worth of Pepsi and some snacks and left over chili to eat.  Sorted.

Meanwhile, Movember continues...

Misty Mornings

I love mist and fog.  I love the way it softens everything, lurks in hollows, swirls around at the slightest breeze and generally makes walking the dogs feel like an episode of Scooby Doo.  The dogs love it too, as the mist seems to amplify the smells. making each corner a real sniff-fest.

When I am cycling I also like the way it causes all but the most psychotic drivers to go a bit slower and drive with a little more care than usual.  It was with a little smug satisfaction that I saw that one of these had missed the road slightly this morning, and was sitting with both of his left wheels in a ditch, unable to go anywhere...

Movember update

 

Still going.  Sorry for slacking this week, but it has been manic - you can tell, as I am actually wearing my glasses!

 

Got to go again - classes running until 7pm today...

Let's try again...

So, they pulled the plug on that version - here is the official one:

Christmas is Coming...

You know it is when they start putting stuff like this on TV...

I love it....

Roll on Christmas!
