Another Odd Couple?

[gness]

Dave and I were in Aldi in the big town when a woman rushed up to Dave....patted his arm and said how lovely to see him again......how was he.....
Now Dave has met so many people since arriving here in Ireland that he assumed he'd met her in the village but I could tell by his face he was floundering...
So was I when she turned to me and with great sympathy said how sad she'd been to hear I'd been so ill with serious heart problems but I was looking better that the last time she'd seen me....was I on the mend?
Dave started to speak to her but she stopped him with.......You're not Scottish! You have the wrong accent.....Have I got the wrong couple?
You have.....we replied...
I am so sorry....she said....but you are the double of a couple I know and haven't seen for a while.....

Now this lady wasn't odd in any way....well she was English but apart from that she wasn't odd..... ;-)

So somewhere there is another couple who look exactly like me and Dave..........!
Those of you who have met us will agree that we are an unusual looking couple.....I would so love to meet our doppelgängers! ..... :-)

The landlord of a pub in Birmingham told me not to try getting served, as I should know that I was barred from there. That came as a surprise to me, as not only had I never been in the pub before but, up until 20 minutes before then, I'd never even been in Birmingham before. It was only when he heard my voice that he realised his error!

You and Dave are fairly distinctive though

so I'm surprised that there are any others like you ;-)

I know this isnt the same thing but it reminded me of when I was walking round our local town and someone banged me on my back. Iturned around to see a lady standing there and all she said was "Its alright I was just patting your dog" I had just returned from Canada and my coat had a picture of a wolf on it! LOL.

That's not Dave though, Chris...... ;-)

Gmum.....you should have bitten her...... :-)

[pixie374]

Please don't meet them, gness. I have a feeling that two gness's together might be fairly lethal... :-)

[gness]

Hadn't thought of that, Pixie......and of course what if we took the wrong Dave home!.... :-(

[pixie374]

You could try... he may fit under the chandeliers? X

[gness]

Hmmm....that'd save having to change the one in the dining room I suppose, Pixie.....x

[fraser]

Excuse me gness being English doesn't make odd!!!!!

[gness]

Oh yes it does, Fraser!!!! ;-)

Anyways.......how's life with you?...x

Being an identical twin, I'm well used to correcting people, but even I was surprised when I pointed this out to a gentleman one day and it wasn't my brother he was mis-identifying me as, but another person altogether. Spooky.

[gness]

It is spooky, Canary......many, many years ago my sister called to tell me to put on the TV.
There was a programme interviewing prostitutes in a studio and one of the girls was my double......so much so it made my skin creep....
Darn...I thought......the nuns always said I'd come to no good and if they're watching this they'll think they were right..... :-)

PMSL ! But would nuns watch such a programme ;-)

I once met a bloke who was the spit of me. I went up to him and said, you look just like me, how am I today. He was totally unfazed, and replied, l know, I’m alright.
Weird or what?

[gness]

Hmm.....think we look a tad cheerier than that, DT....x

You bet they would, Canary!!!!!!

It is an odd feeling, David.....I was once at a dance when a girl walked in......said to my husband.....that girl looks just like me....turns out she was a cousin I'd not seen since we were children.....but there's a reason for the likeness there.......unless of course the prostitute was also a cousin...... :-)

[sunny-dave]

Did you both have a fur coat and/or a red hat, gness ?

[gness]

I can only speak for myself, Dave.....no fur coat.....no red hat and big knickers!

[sunny-dave]

Of course ... bought from AppleCatchers R Us no doubt ...

[gness]

You’ll be comfy in the shed tonight, Dave? ;-)
