      The Way We Were (and Are), Part II

      Me in 1986, aged 9:



      (with all apologies for picture quality. It's a camera phone picture of an old photo, as I have no scanner. I'm the blond one biting his nails)

      Me in 2009, aged 33:



      (With all apologies for the hair. I'm at the "can't do a fucking thing with it" stage of growing it out from being incredibly short)

      Sorry for the size also.....I'm new to Photobucket....

        Dude, you should have kept the beard.

        1990ish:



        2006ish:



        Today: sort of 2006ish but curlier, and wearing white DMs.

        I've never uploaded a picture of myself to the internets, and I've hardly got any old ones anyway, but those pretty much cover it. If I'd had it, I would have uploaded the one of the five-year-old me flicking a V at the camera me with my knob out in the back garden. And perhaps a present-day recreation.

            I'd never noticed that, JtS.

            You never see us in the same room, that's for certain.

                        I don't think we ever did Wild Thing, but we did others in that genre such as "Louie, Louie," "Boo Gonk," "Land of 1,000 Dances," "Shake a Tail Feather," and we rocked the living shit out of "Gimme Some Lovin."

                              Over 20 years ago, this should make some other OTFers giggle. I am on the right. I still fancy some proper black Wayfarers

                              Similar vintage. Fresh-faced, thin, young and ripping off Iggy Pop and Axl Rose waaaay too much

                                  Bored:

                                  Nice one! I'd almost forgotten about the 'dinner jacket' era! Everyone wore one. I certainly had several and wore them nearly every day, at one stage. I had some of those heeled chelsea boots, too - in black suede. Were those by any chance purple, or were they red?

                                    They were scarlet as were my brother's brothel creepers. Johnson's in Kensington, if I remember rightly

                                    We didn't always dress similar but with subtle differences. It make us look somewhat like a boy band

                                    I had a pink dinner jacket as well

                                            My nephew "borrowed" my wayfarers. I'll never get them back...

                                            Bored, you look nothing like I pictured you.

                                              I think Bored is actually the in-hiding John McGeoch, having faked his own death, Lord Lucan-style.

                                              Rolled up suit-jacket sleeves, I ask you!

                                              McGeoch, far right, in his Armoury Show days:

                                                  Don't forget that this was genuinely 25 years ago when I was trying to be androgynous while forgetting I had a big old granite cliff of a face with a Brucie chin.

                                                  Hence the bearded look of my later picture

                                                    That is not a fucking "dinner jacket"! It's the top half of a ladies' suit.
