The great celeb job-swap
Posted by Cadabra on 31 May 2011 - 5:28pm.
Inspired by Brookster's recent namesake thread, I wondered if we might be able to come up with a few good job swaps between celebs of the same name.
For example:
Cilla Black - singer with the Pixies; Frank Black - host of Blind Date.
Neil Morrissey - singer with The Smiths; Steven Morrissey - star of Men Behaving Badly.
Rowan Williams - star of countless Carry On films; Kenneth Williams - Archbishop of Canterbury.
That sort of thing. Any suggestions?

Fergie to take over vocal duties with the Black-Eyed-Peas and his namesake to don a tracksuit for a training session in Manchester
Kenneth Williams for Archbish of Cant
Best. Idea. Ever. :-)
Cash
Johnny Cash - wins Wimbledon. Pat Cash - shoots a man in Reno just to watch him die.
Atkinson
Big Ron - A man with a deep moral conscience & head of the Church of England.
Rowan - Fat rascist twat/ former football TV rentaquote.
I think you're getting your Rowans in a muddle
The Archbish is Rowan Williams. Rowan Atkinson is Blackadder.
I quite like the idea of Ron Atkinson as Mr. Bean, though...
Many thanks Cadabra
