Even my Doppelganger mocks me...
Long time reader, first time poster etc.etc.

A few years back now, back in the long haired days of my youth i was taking a walk across the large wooded hill near my parents house in rural Gloucestershire (atopped rather unrurally with a swish golf-course where Hugh Grant plays apparently, but I digress), as i walked out onto the open space of the golf course I met myself coming the other way.

Now at first i just though it was some chap with similar build, similar gait to his walk etc...until i realised he had a similar face..in fact, exactly similar. The only difference being he had short hair, instead of the waist-length hair i had at the time.

He was arm in arm with a gorgeous red-head and he winked, HE WINKED, at me as he passed as if to say 'sorry fella.'

Some legends state that if you see your double you're going to die, but I'm still here for now, and I've never met the red-head if it was indeed my future self.

Now it may have been just a bloke who looked exactly like me and nothing weird or supernatural, but it freaked me out a bit.

Apologies for length, its my first time and what I lack in skill, i more than make up for with enthusiasm.

Weird!
My mum once showed me a picture on the computer and said 'Who's this?'

'Uh... me?' I replied, fearing that she had developed dementia and forgotten either what I looked like despite my being in the room or the fact that I had, for some time, been old enough to identify myself in photographs.

Turned out it was a friend of a friend of hers who just happened to look EXACTLY like me. Same haircut and everything. Fucking freaky. Mind you, I had wondered why I was wearing clothes I didn't own in a room I'd never seen in the picture.

You realise
that you are now going to have to get the hair cut before you meet the red-head.

Nice!
Just remember to wink at yourself when you're walking arm in arm with that redhead.
