It’s interesting to see what people think you might look like if they read your stuff in a magazine but don’t take a look at your picture. This guy mailed me today:

Hello there Mr. Nik Rawlinson,

My name is __________, I am an 18 year old male and I was very interested in an article of your’s in an old PC magazine from May 2001. I can’t quite recall the name of the magazine. But anyway I’m a brown eyed black haired guy as well but I just can’t seem to find someone on the net to chat with. Maybe there aren’t any available (i.e. there all taken) or something.

Please if you happen to find some lonely hearted Miss somewhere, tell her to write to me using my email address shown.Thankyou.

I’ll be waiting for your reply or that sad Miss in that case.

Thankyou.

Apart from the fact he’s hoping I’ll fix him up with an Internet date, he seems to think that like him I have brown eyes and black hair.

Another guy, though, seems to know very well what I look like and, after sideways comments on every other writer picture in the mag, gets around to me:

The only pleasant guy amongst you appears to be Nik Rawlinson, which is slightly ironic given his uncanny appearance to Montgomery Burns
