On the subject of misread names, I have a hard time not reading ‘ahsat’ as ‘asshat’, which is a bit unfortunate.

Same. It also took me far too long to parse sadexpunk’s name correctly, I originally thought it a bit odd that a punk would be into Sade. There’s likely many others I’ve forgotten too.

On the subject of misread names

chapaking / chakaping. Even typing it now I’m not sure which it is.

And the abbreviation for Matt_outandabout should surely be Matt_oaa, not Matt_oab.

@Ambrose.   I expected him to be a big bear of a man with wild eyes, hair and beard.  Instead a tall well groomed man with glasses and a studious air when I met him

We need a secret code word or expression for such situations.

“How is Louise?”

Another misread name: I keep reading onehundredthidiot as “one hundred the idiot.” I’ve no idea where that extra ‘e’ came from.

I’d suggest that there’s probably a thread in this, but it has potential to get unpleasant fast.

I don’t look like anyone but lots of people do say “I know you from somewhere”. Stock answer was “Crimewatch” but the relevance is wearing thin now.

A lass once claimed that she knew me from Vegetarian Club. But I’m sure I’d never met herbivore.

The ‘like’ button is all well and good, but what we really need here is a mahoosive **** off ‘groan’ button!

I get that a lot.

😁

I have the gift of looking like I’m from every Caucasian country all at once, to the point where if I’m anywhere European/Mediterranean Coast then people will engage with me in full conversations in the local language before they realise. Currently in a long-standing battle with the Turkish crane driver at work to convince him I’m not Turkish.

Does your French Horn not tell him you aren’t Turkish? 😉

I once got told I looked I looked like Brad Pitt

Admittedly it was Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire, but I took it 🤣

Just for the record, I couldn’t look less like Brad now

The Mandela effect?

“How is Louise?”

A lady in a Range Rover reversed over my mountain bike at Dalby Forest in the car park, she got out to check she hadn’t damaged her car then drove off refusing to give me any details. North Yorks Police gave me her details, her name is Louise. Did make me smile and think of STW. She’s losing her no claims bonus as a result….

Back OT, I’ve been told I look like Michael Mosely…

I shouldn’t think so. I haven’t worn jorts in years.

Interesting sadexpunk’s causes so much confusion. I honestly used to read the sadex part as a portmanteau of sadist and latex.

Took me ages to realise that it was sad ex!

I imagine Sadex Punk to be some sort of pierced and leather clad synth band that explores themes of urban decay and anger through sampled sounds of city life and live on stage welding/metal cutting.

😆 yes. Plus latex! Clothing. Not the gloves for if you’re going to clean your bike chain.

And only now, do I realise!

I don’t think that’s a million miles off target. 😁

Having met Cougar I can assure everyone they are neither a big cat or a predatory middle aged woman

I don’t look like anyone

Penfold IIRC…

I’d buy a standing ticket and recreate my Moshing days

This immediately made me think of this…

Except at weekends.  Or so I’ve heard…..

I used to look like a fatter uglier version of Russel Crowe, now I look like a thinner version.

I imagine binners looks like the illegitimate unholy love child of Shirley Crabtree and Brian Glover.

Although that could be a memory from him posting a selfie on here rather than imagined.

The mental image of those two getting it on is going to take some time to shift.

According to my pupils I’m a dead ringer for Egon Spengler’s b@5t@rd lovechild with Postman Pat. With grey hair. And a limp.

A limp what?

I look like a hybrid of every action hero in Hollywood.

Unfortunately it’s just after they’ve received a thorough beating by half a dozen heavies, 20 minutes into the film and before they’ve recovered enough to go and exact revenge on the baddies.

On the other hand, i do have much better hair than Tandem Jeremy, and all my own teeth.

Let’s hope Sadex Punk don’t split.

There’s a comedy duo named Jollyboat (who are excellent and you should all go and see them) who for origins unknown to me have acquired #NotASexCult as a running gag.

Thanks for that, I’ll be posting that to the group very soon!!!
