Shameful

Hullo folks, last blog entry of the week! Huzzah!

If you've been reading my blog for a little while now, you'll remember that I did a competition a while back based on picture of really bad lookalikes. It was a lot of fun, so I've decided to share with you some more of these hapless idiots. No competition this time, just hopefully a chance for you to laugh as much as I did. Enjoy!

1) Barack Obama (version 1)

2) Sir Alex Ferguson

3) David Brent and Gareth Keenan

4) Austin Powers

5) Matthew Kelly

6) Cilla Black

7) Charles Kennedy

8) Audrey Hepburn

9) David Schwimmer

10) Jennifer Aniston

11) Why? Just....why?

12) Barack Obama (version 2)

All shamelessly nicked from Football 365 forums.

Have a great weekend!

The Answers

The deadline for the Lookalikes quiz has now passed, many thanks to those of you that entered. Without any further ado, here are the answers:

1) Samantha Janus - "But she looks nothing like Samantha Janus?!" I hear you cry. I know, guys. I know.

2) Angelina Jolie - I think everyone got this one, mainly because of the lips. Mmm, Jolie's lips. Anyway, that one was vaguely passable.

3) Jose Mourinho - I advise everyone to read Cynical Ben's summary re. this one. He put it in a much funnier way than I ever could.

4) Tiger Woods - Black man? Check. Nike cap and shirt? Check. Woo, I'm like Tiger Woods! No sir, you are not.

5) Tony Blair - I'm not joking, either. That man believes he looks like Tony Blair. He's available for birthdays and assorted celebrations folks!

6) Kevin Spacey - Again, I'm not joking. I find it all a bit sad, actually. Just the whole lookalike business in general.

So, who won? Well, "Sir Mitchell of Cashmore" got 6 out of 6. Impossible, I hear you cry! And I agree. Myself and Merciless Public have been doing some stealth tactics, and it's clear to both of us that "Sir Mitchell of Cashmore" cheated! So, I've taken the executive decision to disqualify "Sir Mitchell" from the quiz, and will now brand him a cheat. If you walk past him in the street, feel free to spit at him* - he tried cheating you folks!

So, out of the people who played along honestly, who won? Well, I'm excited to say it was a 3-way tie, between Rich Bergman, Merciless Public and Don F! CONGRATS TO ALL OF YOU!

And now, the big news - the prize. Well, the prize for the winner was an all expenses paid trip to the Bahamas in July! Flying first class with British Airways, the winner would be staying in a 5 star hotel for a fortnight, sampling the delights of the beautiful area and getting to know the friendly locals.

Sadly, as it's a 3-way tie for the win, that prize is now null and void. So, you each win an air guitar instead, and my eternal thanks for taking part!

*Don't spit folks, it's jolly rude.

Just a quick note...

...I'm setting a deadline for the Lookalikes quiz - if you haven't entered already, you have about 24 hours left, i.e. midnight Wednesday PM/Thursday AM is when I will close entries, give the answers and reveal the winner. I'm sure you all know, but to enter and try to win the prize, scroll down below this post to the entry and leave a comment with your 6 guesses. Thanks for all the efforts so far people, appreciated. Let's have some more! The more the merrier.

I'm off to bed now, for an "early night" because I'm hoping to golf tomorrow morning. Just one quick thought for the night - I'm listening to the "Jagged Little Pill" album by Alanis Morissette, thanks to the lovely people at Spotify (especially Roberta). Is it just me, or was Alanis a very, very angry woman? Calm down dear, it's only a commercial.

Ooh, he looks just like...

Had a good Easter? Excellent. Put down the chocolate, you fatty, and read my latest blog entry. When you've finished reading, by all means, finish eating.

There's a craze at the moment of people who look vaguely like celebrities whoring themselves out to weddings/bar mitzvahs/birthdays for money, presumably thinking they add something to the experience. I say "that's retarded" and thankfully so do the people on a forum I was reading the other day, highlighting awful, terrible lookalikes. I'm going to post a few here, and I actively encourage you to leave me a comment with your guesses as to who these people are supposed to be. I tell you what - if you don't cheat, and you all play fairly, there will be a prize for the winner. So why don't you play along!

Whether you follow my blog or not, whether you're a regular visitor or not, whether you're from the UK or not - HAVE A GO! WINNER GETS A PRIZE! And no cheating, because you'll just be cheating yourselves...

UPDATE - Readers have already begun to send in their guesses. Thanks very much. If you want to guess, just post a comment. Don't be misled by the "0 comments" bit, as I'm not publishing the comments yet as other people may copy answers! I'll reveal all comments, and the answers, in a few days time. Give it a go, and win a prize...
