    i was told i look like quite a few times.

    Which times? 6.00 or 6.05?

    Any other times and I'd be worried.

    I was at my schools 6th year graduation this year and I got congratulated three times from different parents for getting student of the year.....I haven't even done 5th year :L I just said back to them no I'm Sarah, that was Maura, she's a lovely girl isn't she? We don't even look that alike except for being blonde and same height. :P

    Nope, doubt it's the Mayballine, more likely it's the hair dye! :)

    Former Liverpool 'star' Neil Mellor and Aidan Power from the Cafe on RTE. Strange, considering those two people don't look even remotely alike.

    The girl behind the bar at my ex's debs told me I looked a lot like the lead singer of the script, and that I could use that to "get me places". I just laughed and thanked her.

    Some dude called me Seán yesterday. That was weird.

    Back when I used to have my hair cut with a widow's peak I was told I looked like a young Shay Given.

    I seen a picture of you before. You were a little bit, just a little bit like Colm Meaney.

    He looks like a bronzed pulsating testicle.

    Although I look nothing like Meaney I'd be complimented, he's one of the celebs I'd most like to have a beer with ~ I love the guys acting.

    No celebs, but I'm constantly mistaken for my sister. Constantly. It's at the stage that when people shout her name at me I respond to it.

    A woman stopped her car in the middle of the street the other day, rolled down her window and screamed across to me "Do you want a lift <insert sister's name here>?". I said "huh?", and she started screaming at me about a lift again while cars queued up behind her. I just shouted "no I'm grand thanks!". Never seen her before in my life, but was mighty tempted to take the lift anyway and see how long I could get away with it.

    I have no doubles apparently. However friend of mine, Tom, would forever be mistaken for another friend of mine Michael, they were uncannily alike.

    They were twins though, right enough.

    You sister now has the rep of being stand-offish. Cool :-)
