How do we look?

I am 5'8'' male, 165 pounds, dark brown hair, wear khaki shorts and a collared polo-style shirt almost every day, I wear hiking boots as they are the only shoes I own (haha- sad but true), I have short but nonbuzzed hair and no beard.

Or not as the case may be..

I'm always wearing jeans, all awfully ripped off everywhere, the same shoes I wear since 4 years completly ripped from everywhere (even from under) I'm struggling to repair every day, and couple bands shirt (Tangerine Dream, Porcupine Tree, and other). I ALWAYS have my walkman with headphones. I am asked almost every day if I got any drugs to sell, so you can imagine... Sometime, girls make me some huge girly hair arrangement they'd so for themsleve, which make me look rather... weird. I also love to wear hats like that, I'm not sure how you call them in english: That's pretty much about it...

they are called "top hats" or also "stovepipe hats". we like to wear them too, and cutaways, white shirts and striped trousers with them

I seriously look exactly like this guy, an ukranian bassist called Miroslav Vitous.

He's a great bassist, yeah. But I play mainly the guitar so, I don't think one could actually say I follow his footsteps. I'm a lover of jazz & fusion, though.

I am bald, with large nose, expanding waist line and a slight limp....

I thought that was you in your avatar

My avatar is the English comedian Harry Enfield in his incarnation as one of The Scousers, his wickedly funny and accurate parody of the stereotypical Liverpudlian. Some UK based members of the forum picked up on my Liverpool origins, so it seemed appropriate.

I realise that for those members of the forum who live outside the UK, this is all a bit meaningless, so a brief explanation is in order.

Residents of the city of Liverpool are known formally as Liverpudlians, but less formally as Scousers, the name coming from the traditional meat stew known as Scouse. Those UK residents unfortunate enough to be born outside Liverpool believe that the inhabitants are:

• Obsessed with football - largely true, but hardly unique in the UK
• Are all thieves - untrue, Liverpool actually has low crime rates compared to many other UK cities, except for car theft which is unfortunately one of our main industries.
• Mostly unemployed - sadly true for the last couple of decades, Liverpool was very badly hit by the 80s recession and still hasn't fully recovered.
• Are militantly left wing - not entirely true, but the spirit of socialism still burns brighter on Merseyside than in many other parts of the UK, and what's wrong with that?
• Are prone to being either sentimental or violent when drunk, sometimes simultaneously - unlike the rest of the UK, which is a well known haven of temperance
• Likely to sport a dodgy perm, droopy moustache and a cheap shell suit (see my avatar) - such people do exist, and I'm even related to some of them
• Are likely to  move down to London and constantly harp on about how wonderful their native city is, how much friendlier the people are, how many talented sportsmen/musicians/comedians come from there, how it is generally massively superior to the rest of the known universe, all this despite having no real intention of moving back there - true in my case

There is also a general perception that Liverpudlians are a self pitying bunch who can't take a joke. The Scousers disproves that - it was, and remains, massively popular on Merseyside, and when the show was at its most popular a city centre joke shop (The Ace Place) sold thousands of 'Scouser Kits' to Liverpool and Everton supporters, who would all pull on a curly wig and paste a stupid moustache to their upper lip when going to an away game.
