Back in Australia during the politically incorrect 80’s, people used to jokingly remark about how all Asians look the same. It may surprise the YMOTG reader to know that Asians think the same thing about us. That’s right – despite having different hair, eye and skin colour they think we all look alike.

When it comes to my girlfriend’s opinion, this notion of “same same but different” works in my favour and I can’t complain because she thinks I look like David Beckham! Every time we pass a Pepsi billboard on the BTS, she gets all excited and mockingly shouts “Look! My boyfriend is famous!”, purely on the basis that Beckham has short hair and a few tattoos – unlike me who has more tattoos and considerably less hair (and football skills – unless we’re talking about FIFA 2005 Football on the playstation, in which case I’d give Becks a run for his money down the wing in that arena any day).

On the down side she also says I remind her of Tweety the Looney Tunes canary. Some girls collect shoes or handbags, some are addicted to soap operas. My girlfriend has a fetish for all things “Tweety” – clothes, dolls, toys, crockery, you name it. If its got Tweety printed on it she’ll buy it. And now it would appear she’s collected a Tweety-looking boyfriend as well – blue eyes, big bald head, little body. What more could she want!

So which is it folks? Do I look more like Beckham or the bird? Somehow I know what the answer is going to be. Sufferin’ succotash!
