The girl at Starbucks...
 
...said I look like a detective from one of "those" 70's shows.

Maybe she thought the huge bulge was a gun.


Why is someone half my age watching 70's cop shows anyway?

He's known for smoking pot? I thought he just did travel shows around Europe and then flog them on PBS.

No that was Carter (Dennis Waterman), it was the other one. The one who also played Inspector Morse (John Thaw).

...that picture you've got up is Steve McGarrett(?) from Hawaii Five O - do you look like him? I always thought he looked like Alvin Stardust.
