I had a couple of beers with some of the people who came along to my talk at the TNT Travel Show on Saturday. As usual they were an interesting bunch – a Kiwi girl called Kyles who is about to cycle overland back to Oz, a concierge from one of the city’s top hotels called Lee who informed me that Nahn is the best Thai restaurant in London, and a young English guy whose name I missed who had a touch of the Heath Ledgers about him.
I told him this of course. I’ve been rather proud of my ability to see a famous person in almost anyone after spotting the female Bill Murray in Hue, Vietnam many moons ago.
Unfortunately it turned the conversation towards who I looked like. Andy, a long time fan, said Robin Williams. I hoped the rest of the group would howl him down in protest. But they sat sipping their beers and nodding their heads.
Three weeks ago in Cardiff I was told I looked like Morrissey.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of both blokes.
I’d just rather have their talent than their looks.
This is where you'll find everything you need to know about me and my books.
Hi Peter
Give this website a try:

They tell you which “famous” person you look like, well I say famous apparently I look 59% like Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo current president of the Philippines or 50% like Greta Garbo (I know which one I’m going for!)

As you look very similar to my mate Geoff who is neither talented nor famous then I will tell my mate Geoff that he looks like you. Its a burden looking like someone famous and talented as I am forever being stalked by women who think I am Bradd Pitt!!!!
Well, you could certainly do worse than Robin Williams and Morrissey, all I ever seem to hear is that I look like John Belushi, which I take as my queue to get back on my diet and trim my side burns.
