What do you imagine 606ers look like?

First topic message reminder :

Without being too nasty, how to you envisage the regular 606ers?

I'm now thinking a Paul Casey figure, shorter in stature but still with the popeye arms..

Thats as accurate a description of me as you'll get, same build, same colour hair and only couple inch height difference

Here goes: have met D4S, JAS, LJ, Oldshanker, Smithersjones. Here goes with the rest:

MAV:
Bit of a 'Shane Warne' lookie-likie

MAC:
Rik Mayall 'circa Young Ones era'

Kwini:
Alan Whicker

Super-Realist:
Angus Deayton (with attitude)

Doon:
Fulton Mackay 'Porridge'

Diggers:
Paul Merton

Mercurio:
Neil Morrisey (with flares)

Grumpy:
David Jason

JPX:
Martin Clunes

Oldparwin:
Bernard Breslaw

Gael:
Lulu

Mary:
Kylie

Davie:
Alice Cooper

Doc:
Ian Hislop

MPB:
Gary Lineker

NBS:
Andrew Flintoff

You were right about me being a perve OPW, but sadly I look more like Kevin Spacey than the mighty Georgie Best

Mav - Robert Rock
Diggers - A younger George Galloway
JAS - Robert Vaughn
MustPuttBetter - Tim Clark
LJ - Gareth Cheeseman
Kwini - Alan Titchmarsh
Davie - Kevin from Eggheads
McLaren - Gareth Keenan
super_realist - Tim Canterbury
Gael - Hyacinth Bucket
JDandFries - Peter Cushing
JPX - Neil Pearson
Noshankingtonite - Martin Clunes

And dynamark looks like Mark James with hair. Really.

Loving some of these descriptions of me, if you take the Paul Casey build from SR, and Robert Rock dishevelled look from Mercs description and MPB's description for personality traits I'd say between those 3 they've nailed my description to a tee.

Of all the ones that have been suggested for me I'll happily pocket the Tim Clark and take that home. Thank you very much

So I'm a mixture of Rab C, John Jacobs, Fulton McKay and a slim Monty.

I think that would scare the horses.

Attempt #2 to post a reply (fighting stoopid handheld)...

I am with Mary on word/person association with usernames, and indeed, have shared the same thought regarding Sir Merc (given similarity with "Mercutio" from Romeo & Juliet).

Selected others:

* Maverick - Pete Mitchell from Top Gun [Tom Cruise c1986]
* LadyPutt - Lady P [Penelope] from Thunderbirds
* a seasonal variation on the original example - Freddie Mercurio...

Actually, other than my specialist mega-flop shot off the tee, my username was semi-inspired by an old 606 thread which named various golfing gods including Darth Fader and Jabbicus the Putt. I look nothing like Mark Hamill though.

You actually nailed it. That's where my nickname originates from a)because of the resemblance and b)my mates and I did a top gum themed night out with flight suits, white tees and aviators and I was Maverick and the name stuck since my mates even call me it can't remember last time they used my actual name

Must admit this is the best laugh I have had in a long while.

Just to put everyone out of their misery, about 20 years ago when Alan McManus was strutting his stuff as Taggart, ( I was a production manager), and I know my nickname on the shop floor was Taggart, think it was more due to the big ears and bloody awful attitude

Alan Mcmanus, he could play snooker AND say 'There's been a murder'!, Was he wearing a dickie bow and waistcoat and twirling a cue?
,surely you mean Mark McManus Op?



Have to say that I didn't know who Tim Canterbury was Merc So googled it. Nowhere near. Closer to Hugh Grant circa 'About a Boy' era.

I think the Mac one might be more apt though, although had to Google him too as I purposely boycott Ricky Gervais vehicles. Am tempted to invite Mac out for his first pint with another person, just to see if it's a good likeness.

Loving reading all these descriptions but I must be a fairly unimaginative sort as I don't really have any mental pictures of anyone apart from Mav, of whom I immediately though of the Top Gun character because of the name

As for all the guesses about me, the "old rocker" image is dead right in character terms though none of the descriptions really match (Alice Cooper?)

I probably look older than my 51 years of age because of premature greyness which started in my 20s and now almost pure white/silver. It is also way too long since my last haircut so it is far too long right now (not a good look, believe me) but that helps add to the aging rocker look

OPW: there you go Mark McManus/Fulton MacKay - I was pretty close you've got to admit

noshanking

Yes I can say think you were spot on, is that apparent that I can not tolerate fools.

I was on at a meeting once and the guy sitting opposite me looked like my double~ very spooky.
He was a head teacher which probably explained why quite a few folk used to say hello Mr Johnson to me when out shopping.

I always imagine SR as a younger more agressive John Humphries. [radio 4]

Well, if I didn't have any laughter lines before, I certainly have now. Nice one s_r.

Mercurio ... this ...

"Gael - can't argue with the Catriona Matthews one, just without the laughter lines. Probably no laughter lines, none."

... still has me laughing out loud.

Shouldn't come as any surprise to youse lot when I tell you that I'm pretty useless at this kind of 'game' so I've only been able to come up with a few ... so far:

Doon ... John Panton - a gentleman both on and off the course.

Kwini ... Harry Carpenter. Not only can kwini write but I rather think he'd make an excellent tv sports presenter.

Diggers ... McDonald Hobley - tall, slim and totally unflappable

d4s ... Benny Hill. Need I explain?

Mac ... Bertie Wooster. He'd fit right in at Muirfield.

s_r ... no two ways about it, with his constant references to anyone fatter than a stick insect, this is how I imagine him to be in real life ...

Very good Gael, there's something about the name Billy Bunter which always makes me laugh.




Now that we've all shared what we thing one another looks like. How about posting a link to a well known person who you actually DO look like?

Nice twist s_r.

He has a bit more hair than me, but I can play the guitar better.

I post something Gael actually finds amusing (if my friends knew about 606v2 I'd tell them about this moment) and Merc gets the credit. Bloody typical

That's the second time on this thread I've been credited with someone else's post.

Merc, I suppose it's a saving grace that you're not associated with what you do actually say

It's cos you are in fact 'Mercurio the Magician' - "look straight into my eyes. The next time somone posts a funny or salient comment, you will automatically associate it with ME"

I have been told on a few occasions that I look like Des O'Connor. A bit flattering I think,
More of a blend of Des, A short Ken Brown, Taggart and a Meercat.
Only Jas knows.

Oops, sorry about that MPB. Bloody memory ... knew I shudda checked.

I have been told I look like these dodgy looking characters:

Ask those on here who have met me.....

BTW - could see Super as 'Rigsby' of Rising Damp fame....

Shanking, perhaps in 15 years I'll be like Rigsby.

Oh Miss Jones.

Think George Clooneys better looking brother wearing glasses and you'd have me down to a tee.

Managed to get a long overdue haircut today so I'm back to being a short-haired (but still grey) old rocker instead of a long-grey-haired one!

Yes please, I'd love you to

I do have a double and a movie star like Mav, although sadly not Tom Cruise but Woody from Toy Story. You need to picture the hair as salt'pepper (ie grey) and you really can't tell the difference - I have the figurine on my desk to prove it with hair suitably coloured by my work colleague (she still finds it funny)
Staying in the franchise would profer the following (with apologies to all concerned)-
Kwini - Buzz Lightyear
Mac - Zorg
Lord & Lady Putt - Mr & Mrs potato head
D4S - Rex
Merc - Hamm
doon - wheezy the penguin
JAS - slinky
S_R - stinky pete
Mary - has to be Jessie

I'll get my coat

Are you sure you mean George Clooney Diggers and not George off 'Rainbow'

I wish I was as cute as George from Rainbow. He was a legend.

I always thought George was a bit of a mincer, and rather annoying. Zippy was the legend.

Incidently, he was orange allegedly because the creator was a Dundee United fan. He was originally supposed to be blue.

This parody of Rainbow is quite funny.

Youve clearly got no taste Super.

Or perhaps not a miserable old curmudgeon

You were just expressing your neo nazo homophobic tendancies at an early age. Bit sacry really.

Diggers wrote:You were just expressing your neo nazo homophobic tendancies at an early age. Bit sacry really.

How do you make that out?

Probably because you called George a bit of a mincer. He was clearly a puppet who batted for the other side.
As youve clearly been a Daily Mail reader since kindergarten this cant have seemed right. Its not your fault, you've just been conditioned that way.

For heavens sake Diggers, sometimes you really are just ridiculous and frankly rather pathetic. I'm presuming you are actually just on the wind up.

Where did I say it mattered that he was a mincer?

Sorry mate, I didnt mean to hit a nerve.

Grow up Diggers, for a man that comes across as a Victor Meldrew, you don't half behave like a child sometimes.

And for a man who is happy to mock Mac whenever you like you dont seem very good at taking a bit of winduppery.

I'm perfectly fine with it Diggers, I just don't think you are very good at it on this occasion, which reflects more on you than it does on me.

Really, I think it worked rather well myself.

Gentlemen......pleeaasseeeeee..............

Diggers and Super

Walter Mathue and Jack Lennon [for older readers only]

Jack Lennon ? Johns brother ?
Jack Lemmons best film was The Apartment, superb movie. Some Like It Hot wasnt too shabby either.

I know I have spelled Mathue wrongly as well!

Our neighbours have a Basset hound called Walter, name really suits his face.

And 'how to kill your wife'? I think that is what it was called with the gloppeter gloppeter machine.
