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.

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.  Wink

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

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!

Why do I always want to learn guitar in August?

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.
