Chris Solly Looks Like...

I've a shiny sixpence here for the clever fellow who can tell me who this Chris Solly lookalike is.



I saw this a while ago but have only just got round to posting it.

Otto van bismark?

 

Good guess, but no.

 

Edward VII? The one who ran off with the American?

 

Again, good try, but no.

 

Harry Flashman?

 

Nope.

 

That wasn't a serious answer, is it a very young churchhill?

 

No.

Do you or anyone else want a clue?

 

Please :-D

 

OK: you were very close with your Bismarck guess.

 

Kaiser Bill?

 

Bingo.

 

I wish I'd logged on earlier; I would have won that shiny sixpence.

Blast and damnation.

 

I was wondering where you were Ponders, I thought you would have got it.

It was from a Channel 4 documentary on the Kaiser's troubled upbringing, which went into excruciating detail on the various attempts made to fix his withered left arm which amounted to little more than torture for the young Bill. Let's hope modern medicine isn't causing Chris Solly the same kind of torment in fixing his knee.

 

And I bet that meant the Kaiser's throw-ins weren't as good as Solly's.
