Look at this screenshot and tell me what's so peculiar in it?

On Tuesday 28 April 12pm I will draw a Jabra Bluetooth headset to one of the people with the correct answer here.

He grew a moustache and hasn't shaved his head for a while?

He bares a striking resemblence to John Cleese?

1965 (friends) - Germany invaded Poland (again), which syncs with the quote...
(note: This is in Harry Turtledove's Colonization series)

The war connection between the "You invaded Poland" quote and the fact that you posted this on ANZAC day?

John Cleese is tall. So is Tony.

Tony admits to liking holdens, but then everyone has something to be shameful of.

Jack Tramiel, who founded Commodore, turned it into a Calculator and Computer company in 1965, with financier Irving Gould (bad man). Jack was polish and survived the concentration camps.

Which is far too obscure to relevant here, except for Tony's commentary on the Commodore SX-64 (a luggable from 1983).

But I quite like this game....

Ok. That's pretty obscure. But the SX-64 was a cool piece of hardware. I got mine painted black...

He's still got 37 hours before he asks me for my address

Currently not in possession of a Holden, and sbiddle will be most pleased to see the photo below - I bought this car a few days ago. (REALLY!!)
