I have recently been confused with a really learned, Edinburgh New College, nae kiddin, seriously scholarly looking former Princpal of said august New College. Brodie has detected a similarity between my physiognomy and that of the as yet unnamed academic. (By the way, do any of you remember using the word physog or fizzog as a word for face?)Anyway, semantics aside, you can see the two pictures, and read the comments over here at Brodie's place. - and you'll understand why I am yet again posting this self portrait of a Scottish hillwalker clothed for the local climate. It's the hat that gets them talking, and laughing - and clearly Brodie missed previous showcases.
I have no comment on the similarity between the two aforementioned portraits until I know who the learned gentleman in Edinburgh purple is.
Fizzog is a favourite of mine - as in 'whit's wrang wi' your fizzog?' (unsure of spelling).
Of course, it's also frequently confused with bahookie in my case:-)
Cool bunnet by the way

Jim - had a wee look at your book today (Evangelical Spirituality). May send you an email to pick your brains, if that would be ok.
Like the hat....if I can find out who the guy in the painting is I will.

Happy to have my brains picked in a good cause Brodie. It works particularly well in the context of a good coffee. Let me know what suits, and if coffee's on I'm buying.
