variations on andy townsend's "if anything he's hit it too well," whenever things go wrong for the former Irish captain, are cheap, hackneyed, obvious, and almost always absolutely hilarious.

I have had:
Dave Grohl (from my brother's fiancee)
Simon Bird (in my less hirsute days)
Javier Mascherano (in my less hirsute days AND without my glasses)

What did that site give me?
75% AL PACINO!

They weren't too bad, although a pic of Adam Ant came out as "80% Adam Ant".

Crumbs, I've no idea. There's loads of those sites and they're uniformly terrible. Unless they tell me I look like George Clooney.

There was a web site that scanned your photo and told you which famous people you looked like by percentage.

I can't find it now. I remember getting Sandra Bullock (hooray!) Karolina Kurkova (double hooray!!) and ... Benecio del Toro (oh.).

That could be a new thread. List the people you've been told you look like, see how accurate Stumpy is.

Based on that photofit picture, you can add Lance Armstrong to the list of my Doppelgänger.

So I fired up Photoshop and—based on this information—I've created this highly accurate image of what treibeis looks like.

The majority opinion is that I look like Adam Sandler.

One of my ex-girlfriends reckoned I looked like Vinnie Jones.

So, at the last count, I look like Bastian Schweinsteiger, Vinnie Jones, Karl Kranzkowski, John Lydon, Martin Semmelrogge, Rufus Beck, Boris Becker and Steffi Graf.

And tomorrow, somebody's probably going to tell me I look like Whoopi Goldberg.

I don't look as gormless as Roy Makaay and I don't look like Luis Suarez.

That's marginally better than being accused of sounding like Roy Makaay.

Hang on: You look like Roy Makaay. Roy Makaay looks like Luis Suárez.

Do you look like Luis Suárez?

I've been accused by two different drunk chaps of looking like both Rio Ferdinand and Juan Verón just because I used to have short hair back then. No, I don't look like either and no, I'm not black.

I've been accused - yes, I think 'accused' is the right word - by two different people of looking like Schweinsteiger's big brother. Which means you've just accused me of looking like Katsche Schwarzenbeck.

Last weekend, I was accused of looking like this bloke, who is almost definitely another of Schweinsteiger's blood relatives:
