I'm sure that Simon isn't really a Pizza Hut kinda chap.  Could it have been Kenny Rogers perhaps?

It might have been him. He is a human being, he does have to go about his daily business when he's not busy.

Of course he has to be back on the road again soon, I mean children want to get their Christmas presents in december.

But I have it on good authority that there is a guy works down the chip shop who swears he's Elvis!

My Dad looks a bit like Richard Thompson, and at the folk club in Banbury he overheard some people sitting behind whispering and they were convinced he was ;D

No, no, no. He's from the Lord Of The Rings! He's Elvish!

Just to clarify, this geezer walked past the Pizza Hut window, he wasn't actually in there, mind you it could have been something to do with the pint Guiness I had consumed beforehand.  ;)

No where near as posh as that I am afraid, this was in downtown Wolverhampton (Which is just about posh enough for me  ::))

Not me. Pizza Express maybe, but Pizza Hut!?! Anyway, would I have blanked a Virtual Giant? That would be toooo rude!

Everyone has at least one doppelganger, so they say. If you come face to face with yours, do you (a) recognize them? or (b) self-destruct in a blaze of anti-matter?

In my case I'd give her a big hug and offer my sympathies!

With my big mouth, I'd probably walk up to my doppelganger and say "Blimey, you've got sticky-out teeth!"

On the subject of men looking like Simon, looking for a bearded member of our party at Fairport's gig in Newcastle was a bit like looking for a piece of hay in a haystack!

Love, Smiths

I was in the Old Joint Stock in Brum City Centre a couple of Friday lunchtimes ago and a bloke who could have been the missing Simon Leslie / Andy Nicol triplet came in. He was a musician as well, from the Symphony Hall at a guess.
