My famous mate.
About, ooooh, ten years ago now, my best mate Eddie, for it is he, went off on holiday with people from his work.

One night as he sat in a bar, a man came over to him and shook his hand. A bit confused, Eddie smiled and nodded politely as the man said "I knew it was you! Would you mind coming over and meeting my missus?" Eddie agreed, met the missus, and it was then that the penny dropped that these people thought he was someone famous. Just as he was about to set them straight, the man offers to buy his new famos friend a drink. Already fairly drunk, a dastardly plan hatched in my pal's mind, and although he had no idea who the famous person they had mistook him for was, he decided to milk as many free drinks as he could out of them.

About an hour later, however, my decidedly drunker mate was pulled aside by one of his friends, who informed him that he had overheard the pair discussing getting my mate a LOT drunker and making him the filling in a famous man-sandwich. A free drink's a free drink, but not worth one's botty cherry, so Eddie scarpered quite quickly after that.

On returning home, he told me the story, at which point I asked who they had thought he was. "Erm, Andrew something........ Whyment, Andrew Whyment." Yes, Kirk from Coronation Street, who at the time was best known for playing thick-as-shit Darren in the Royle Family. the look of abject disgust on his face when he realised who it was was priceless, but it has to be said, it mystified me.... my mate looks absolutely NOTHING like him.

I can only conclude the pervy couple must have been very pissed indeed, and had their plan succeeded they would have had a shock the next morning.
