Separated At Birth

There comes a time in every parent’s life when the realisation hits that – horror of horrors – your offspring has different tastes to you.

Specifically, they want to watch different things than you when the television is on. Which is particularly annoying when you are trying to concentrate upon England blowing yet another series lead with a batting display slightly less spineless than a jellyfish.

However, there are times when this can be enlightening. For example, the other day I was being forced to endure another half hour of the antics of an improbably concientious construction worker when I noticed something. Is that who I think it is? Could it really be? It certainly is. Graeme Swann’s long lost youngest brother!

Look – the same grin, the same arms-aloft appeal and, of course, the same chin.

    Very funny Jrod – I refer you to your long-long twin, who I believe is Micheal Moore.

      Swannyg66 (if that is your real name), it is funny, but I didn’t write it, theskiver did, as you can see by who posted it.

    don’t tell me youv’e jumped the shark J. , pulling out the old alter ego’s!

  5. jrod says:

    Cam, I promise the skiver is not my alter ego, if I had an alter ego I’d call it Shahid Nannes.

  6. Cam says:

    Sweet Shalid, beacause if you revert to alter ego’s, i’ll pull out the Adolf mask and we all know how that worked out last time!

  7. The Skiver says:

    I am pleased to confirm that I am far from being Jrod’s alter ego.

    Apart from anything else, if you were going to pick an alter ego, you wouldn’t make it anything like me unless you were in bad need of psychiatric help.
