Charlotte, Annie, Susan,
Ladies, ladies... please!!! Brian's NOTHING LIKE any of the guys you've mentioned. You're just getting desperate now (but not half as desperate as I am!  )
We're trying to match him to a British actor, remember?
Duncan,
I enjoyed reading the blog and finding out what you got up to. (Drinking... more drinking... drinking some more...)
You have a nice job. I'm wondering why I never got to go to Paris with colleagues when I was teaching. 
Jayne

Get off it, Ann. Claude Rains is about a foot too short. I think the great Albert Finney is about the best bet. Though Brian has aged far more beautifully. Finney should have laid off the chip butties. I'm sure Brian has never even SEEN a chip butty. French cuisine keeps him ever svelte. Vive la France!

I say Denis Lawson. Scottish not Irish, from Local Hero.

Spot on, Mary - though more the BBC's Bleak House than Local Hero. We'd all be glad to age as well, Brian - consider yourself complimented.
Best,
Nigel

Suppose Brian now confesses that he is twenty-three.

In that case, Janice, Hurd Hatfield is still among the living!

Ya got me, Janice.
Since it seems to be my Henry Reed day, here is a misquotation from "Chard Whitlow", Reed's splendid parody of Eliot's Four Quartets:
As we get older we do not get any younger.
Seasons return, and today I am twenty-three,
And this time last year I was twenty-two,
And this time next year I shall be seventy.
The entire piece can be found here:

You're right, John, although I may once have seen a chippy's butt.
Ooops! What am I saying?
