Is there any public figure that you see a lot of in yourself?

It's a hard one. I'm quite funny so maybe I'm.a bit like those great comedians Stewart Lee or Brendan Grace.

I wish I was as funny as Stewart Lee...I'm more of a Richard Herring

Hang on. You posted this:

As I polished off my glass of wine (a wonderful 2013 Barolo, heavy on the silky tannins, stone fruits, and with a classic mid-weight nose profile), and watched Roger give yet another truly humble and gracious interview, it got me thinking that I share so much in common with the man.

Like me, Roger pays an extraordinary attention to detail, and has a work ethic and professionalism that continuously ranks him above his peers. He has an uncanny ability to read a situation, and to take strong combative action when needed. He keeps himself in incredible shape, and while I have never reached the pinnacle of any sport, my times in 10k, half marathon, and triathlon are the envy of men 15 years younger than me. He's a huge believer in the restorative powers of sauna - a belief I'm fully in agreement with.

You then went on to say this:

I got back in touch with the essence of what makes me a human, and what I have to give to the world. In Roger's case, this is at least two or three more Grand Slam titles; in my case, it represents continuing to be at the vanguard of European Finance.


Please tell me your OP was satire? Otherwise, I'm afraid you don't share Federer's "humble and gracious" nature.

He's just a fantasist, is Herr von Bismarck.

Sienna Miller. Only because I'm told I look like her at least twice a week.

Because European finance.

So you do or you don't look like her?

Probably more like her chubbier, uglier and poorer younger sister.

Would the knighthood really matter? I wouldn't have thought so.

There are so many things to go with that but nobody but nobody would dare.

Like George Clooneys older brother
