Title: dopplegangers
Post by: cam2502 on 10 April 2010, 14:05:36
Ive been reading a bit about the theory that we all have an exact replica of ourselves..or"doppleganger" somewhere in the world.
Weird story i have is a few years ago i was going out with a girl in Hawick. One night we were in a local bar,i was buying the drinks,she was sat at a table when a male friend of hers came over and asked her when she started seeing "Andy"?
"Who?" was her reply and the guy insisted that i was a guy that he knew very well called Andy.
I came back to the table and this guy took a long hard look and still wasnt convinced i wasnt his pal Andy. Took a good few mins and the realisation that my accent was different until he was convinced. Weird..........and no,he wasnt pissed! :y
Anyone had anything similar happen?

When I was 19, I got a right good hiding in a club in my home town. The psycho who did it only stopped kicking me when his mate pointed out he had the wrong guy because I didn't have a tattoo behind my right ear! Otherwise they both said I was a 'dead ringer' for the other bloke  :-/:o

I went to secondary school with mine (well at least we looked alike back then not so much now)

had it in bletchley approx 15 yrs ago - walking down the high street- some woman comes up to me and starts talking - then realises after the blank expression on my face that I wasn't who she thought I was- then a week later had taken my mate's car for mot - and got asked -did I use to work there? -- apparently some poor sod in Aspley Guise looks like me.

If you can manage to convince yourself you're Vic Reeves, you can manage the change with the wife. The trick is.... CONCENTRATE....it might even work  :D :y
