Pick N Mix

If there is such a thing as reincarnation you're born again after your death, dear Lord can I make my requirements now in advance of taking my last breath. Since you can control how we all will be born can I please at least have my own choice, namely when I have finally reached puberty can I talk with Richard Burton's voice. Some bits of Dave Gandy would come in quite handy, especially that chest with no hair, Terence Stamp's eyes, Arnold Schwarzenegger's thighs and a good thatch of Tom Cruise's hair. Don't let me come back as this same sad old sack like a teddy bear with too much stuffing, all wrinkles and creases defining my features on a face like an over-thumped muffin.

G'day Viv … entertaining as normal. I wouldn't mind as coming back as me; of course with a few past misdemeanours left out and maybe Casanova's genes - if there's any available that is - enjoyed as usual - Lindsay

Casanova's genes probably wouldn't fit me nowadays, Lindsay :(

Haha Great one Viv, must admit though when I saw your pic I thought Indiana Jones, so maybe not all bad. Tom
