I have spent the entire weekend as "Count Nikolai the infamous Russian Potion maker who can resurrect worms from the dead" in order to amuse Babyslick.

I have multiple personalities but I don't think it calls for medication

Do you ever spend time as someone else and why?

I think there are different sides of myself, but then I wouldn't say that's being someone else...

Yes. I spend time on this Forum pretending I'm someone else. I'm really a 57-year-old steam engine enthusiast from Diss.

I have several personalities that make up me.

I also have my role-plays that my kids demand from me - usually a space-ship assistant pilot, a baddy or a pet robot.

Sometimes when I'm doing my packing up I like to amuse myself by making sandwiches the way I imagine 1980s pop star Chris De Burgh would do it. Hours of fun guaranteed!

No you're right. I'm a suicidal cheese salesman with a fondness of reptiles. From, wait for it...Kent.

For those first wonderful years of my son's life I was The Mad Mad Gronffer. The Mad Mad Gronffer lived behind the cooker and chased little children so as to gronff them. (Gronff is a word who's exact etymology is obscure...but it means to grab and tickle mercilessly.

Having trod the boards in a previous incarnation I've been a good few other people in my time too...including Adolf Hitler.

What a coincidence! I have often imagined slicing up Chris de Burgh.

Last Wednesday I put the bin out in the style of Gary Numan. What a pity there was no-one around to see it.

Oooh exciting! I still giggle every time I think of the Gary Numan in the closet scene on Mighty Boosh.

I have impersonated a policeman on several occasions but never in an illegal way.

When I used to take the children on holiday to Italy, I used to pretend we were lost just to add adventure and excitement to the day

Everyday from 8.30 to 4.

I sometimes play at being different people esp with my best mate. It's a throwback from our school days where every day i was lovely Kelly and I made her be Sabrina. Last week we played at being the naughty kids in the class for her daughter and it ended up in a proper scrap over a purple felt tip. She pulled my pigtails and it hurt!

I also lied once when I went speed dating (my one and only time) as all the women were teachers so I made something up instead - I wanted the job by the end of the night.
