The way we were?

I think Peter Cymbiosis suggested a what did you used to look like thread.
So I'll start it. I was rummaging in some old boxes and these came to light.:-

C 1963 C 1965

Same bike but modified.

Are there any programmes to "colourise" B&W pics?

When I still had a mop of hair on my head!



With my then brand new first double bass. Probably about 1987 ...

How the time flies!

And to get to a photo of similar age to Big H's one, here I am in our green Ford Consul which was, at the time I suppose, quite a smart car. As my brother is nowhere to be seen he must have been in the pram or not yet born so that makes this 1963 or '64 ...

Yes I was thinking that and hoping the thread wasn't going to die a death from cowards poking fun. I'm going to go look something out to post in the spirit of what could be a pretty good fun thread.

Personally, I'm partial to a scooter...

Earlier one were a LI 150, 175 by the time of the second picture.

Back when I was good looking:


That's me on the right, brother left, and my first 'nudey camp' friend, Kelly in the background.


That's me wasting a bit more tax-payers money ruining the clutch on a RAF aircraft tug.


And that's me trying to choose between WRAF's arse and beer!

that shot is on Squaw Peak which is close to my home. the other mountain i climb regualrly is Camelback.

I don't venture out to South Mountain much since it's not convenient and I prefer the steeper climbs.

Not through choice :-)

A couple of years back we were at the Smile concert at the RFH and went out on the balcony at half time. Two blokes approached my wife and after identifying her then turned to me said "That makes you Gary!", Which was a bummer, because they were two guys I'd worked with every day in a record shop 30 years ago and they hardly knew my wife...which goes to show she's aged a lot better than me. Hey ho.

Still, looking like Marc back then saved me from a beating by some skinheads.
