New Year's Swim


When I arrived in at work for my first day back after the Christmas holidays, few people were saying things like "well done" "fair play""crazy" and "I saw your picture in the paper".

By the time I got to my desk there were about half a dozen people following me/waiting for me.

Totally confused I try to find out whats going on - apparently there is a picture of "me" in the Sun (Jan 2, pg 13) ice swimming. Having broken through 3 inchs of ice we all went for a swim. "Not me" and then they show me the picture - it took me two looks before I was convinced it wasn't me.

Total doppleganger (in a small poor picture) but scarily similar. I couldn't believe it. I then had to put up with scores of people asking about the swim "It wasn't me" "are you sure, it really looks like you" "yes, i'm pretty sure its not me, but it does look like me"
