Whose voice can you mimic?

I do the gruff-voiced film trailer guy [whoever he is] and Sean Connery to name but two.

Who can you do?

I can do the Slimer voice from the Ghostbusters cartoon...which doubles as the groundhog from Caddyshack.
I was also hypnotized once to sound and act like Sean Connery.

My sister can impersonate almost anyone - male or female - which is a bit creepy, in an Exorcist sort of way. Her latest impressions are David Guest and Iggy Pop.

Iggy Pop.

All you need to do that are floppy joints, zero body fat and a hairless chest.

Unfortunately DaButt, Iggy has sold his soul in this country big time for a series of car insurance commercials on cable TV.

They are beyond irritating with Iggy just saying 'I wanna ride! I wanna ride! I don't care about car insurance! I just wanna ride!'

Once you've heard him say that 30+ times in the space of an hour, it makes you wanna kill! wanna kill!

EDIT: I can do a passing American and West Country accent and can say 'Screw you, I'm going home' like Cartman.

I touched Iggy's hairless chest at the big Stooges reunion at Coachella several years ago in an effort to keep him from falling on me. It was a hundred degrees outside, but his chest was dry and rather cool. I don't think he's human.

I wish I could imitate Sid James's lecherous laugh. God knows I was a very heavy smoker, drinker and girl-chaser for over a decade, but I've never been able to master that wonderfully dirty chuckle.

I also wish my Mr T impression was better.

I can do most Peter Sellers voices, Smithers/Burns/Marge Simpson, Tom Baker, Peter Cook, Graham Chapman, Neil from the Young Ones, Garth Algar (from Wayne's World). And Clint Eastwood. Not that I get slippered in the pub and subject people to these dreadful impressions.

Even worse, there was a Jane's Addiction song in Disney's recent-ish Herbie movie. And Jane's Addiction have just canceled their Australian tour. Peripheral bastards.

My friend plays in a band with their drummer. They sang Happy Birthday to her the night she turned 16.

Stephen Perkins. Has an 'infected elbow', so the tour is off. Whereas the Beatles simply replaced Ringo when he couldn't make some of their Australian gigs.

Perk's a good guy and probably the most musically talented member of the band.

I took my kids to see Jane's back on the first Lollapalooza tour when they were 4 and 5 years old. I also had tickets for the recent tour with NIN but my ex pissed me off and I didn't bother going to the show.

I can mimic Keanu Reeves from the Matrix movies

Bob Geldof and Tony Benn.

I can do quite a few as I hope it's a talent of mine.

*Patrick Stewart.

*Movie trailer guy

*E4 voiceover guy (I can nail)

*Almost all the phonejacker characters (I managed to fool a friend into thinking he was on the show!).

The rest are mostly accents but no doubt if I thought about it I could do more celebs :P

Ernie from Sesame Street, Andy from Little Britain, James Stewart Whistling nnocently and Cary Grant Whistling nnocently

I'm like the Mike Yarwood of Bristol. Yes, I'm shit.

I once accidentally did a passable David Bowie whilst watching Labyrinth. I can also do a pretty good Nixon from Futurama. That's it though. My mate Terry Mynott however...
