It's not all about looks

Thursday, March 2nd 2006, 12:39AM

by Philip Macalister

Over the past few days a number of people have noted my appearance in the most recent Sunday Star Times. Appearing in the paper is nothing new, but getting so much feedback was.

When the paper landed on my desk yesterday I can see why! What a shocking photo. No idea where or when it was taken and checked the mirror to see if that was really me.

Well yes, I can confirm a positive identification once the extraneous facial hair was removed.

Just goes to show that it's all about presentation and looks. Bit like a good meal.


As they say it's not what it tastes like it's what it looks like. Trouble is in this case it was more like a burnt offering a la Cajun cooking. Looked awful on the outside, but tasted beaut!
