Inspired by the current debate... have you ever been compared to someone favourably or unfavourably ? In the past at various time I've been told that I look like... Timothy Spall (oh great, thanks) Jonathan Ross (flattering if absolutely hilarious !!! PMSL) and most recently Ian Hislop (I don't see that one at all ?) I still think the person that came closest was the one who called me a 'fat stupid chimp' lol Paul

I've been compared to my Mum. Looking in the mirror I can see exactly what they mean lol Linda

When I ran a playgroup I was always beng told I sounded like Joyce Grenfell (her famous phrase 'Don't do that George' comes to mind) As far as look go I was once told I looked like Norma Major!!! Dee x

A while ago Peggy out of HI Di Hi. (said I sounded like her too )very embarassing. Diedre Barlow. Ma Simpson!!! Don't think I look like any of them Nicest one when I about 18 Liz Taylor in Cleopatre. (now that one boosted my ego) lol Now I look like nothing on earth LOl!!! Germaine x

Joyce WHO ????

Apparently my laugh/giggle sounds like Barbara Windsor in the Carry on films!

Paul She died in 1979, so you are excused from not knowing her!!!! Dee xx

When I was pregnant with Kyle in 1995, my friends small son thought I was ...........the vicar of Dibley. Ok I did wear a large dress the same as Dawn French had on one day in the programme (I was mortified) and we looked like we had the same hair do....and I was quite large at the time lol I saw the funny side tho, and it still brings a smile to my face when I think about it now. The little lad used to shout 'Elaine Elaine ' when he used to see 'Me' on telly rotflmao. My son has been told he looks like a young Home Alone Maculey Culken Elaine x

Hi Paul, Was once told I looked like Stephanie Powers,(very flattering) but now I look more like Hyancinth Bucket, I hasten to add,I have NOT been told I look like her. Hehe,this thread made me laugh though. Thanks for cheering up a dull Sunday morning. regards trish

oh my aunt jean has been compared to Diedre in corrie (big glasses era) and wait for it in her younger days with dark rimmed glases..... OLIVE in On The Buses har har har har Elaine x

Paul The fat stupid chimp puts me in mind of Homer Simpson as an ape in one of the programmes lol (not meant as an insult no knives please lol) Elaine x :o))

Morning Paul, When I was on teaching practice the kids told me I looked like Ruth in Pan's People. (the short, stumpy one who was always at the back) My OH first fancied me because he thought I looked like Cher (in I've got you Babe, days) before the plastic surgery. Now he says I look like the picture she keeps in her attic which ages and gets fatter instead of her. He's not wrong. Gwynne

When I was young (over a hundred years ago) I was told I looked like June Allyson (I know none of you can remember her). Now I look more like one of McBeths witches. Jean x.

I've also been compared to Cher in my younger days (and hers), and someone once said I reminded her of Susan Hampshire! Don't see that at all. I dread to think what I've been compared with by members of GR at one time or another, but that's their problem! LoL CB >|< P S Paul, I happen to be very fond of chimps - and gorillas! Don't like Bernard Manning though.

Melinda Messinger - with two important bits missing!!!!!!!!!!

Dee My DiL can sound just like Joyce Grenfell when talking to the children. Actually she has heard the record and can do a passable imitation of 'Don't do that George' which has me falling about laughing. Joyce Grenfell was wonderful Bless her. Ann glos

For a while, I was Rick Moranis/Rivers Cuomo (lead singer of Weezer)/Jack Osbourne. Basically anyone who had a prominent pair of dark framed glasses. I was going through a slightly retro phase at the time, might try them again at some point!

my nickname at work is josh,as they think i look like the guy,from the original series of casualty. bryan.
