    Brothers in arms

    OK, OK, before anyone else says it, Rovers mistook Austin for Whealie. I cannot see how. One of us is a grey-haired, speccy, ruddy-faced chap with a big nose and the other is Austin.

    See. No resemblance.

    Twins separated at birth, obviously.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    Re: Brothers in arms

    Personally I just don't see the resemblance. Whealie can write good stuff, I can't; I am crap with electronic gadgets, Whealie isn't; I am terrified of getting my bike airborne, Whealie isn't; I have no inclination whatsoever to make films of things, Whealie seems to do it all the time; Whealie has never bought me a birthday present and besides I have already got one little brother and that's bad enough - and he doesn't get me birthday presents either.


    mind dad was a salesman and he did do a bit of travelling and did spend a lot of time in London on the 60's

    and Chad, I am only bigger coz I am the big brother (oops).
