All these pics of what we look like now were depressing me. I wasn't going to add to that by posting a current picture of myself, but I thought there might be some mileage in photos of how we were. Obviously I have to go first, so here we are in 1970 getting married. We made the clothes ourselves (obviously!), my suit was made from velvet curtains from Portobello Road market. £1 10s. BTW, my hair is LONGER now. Unfortunately my nose is still as big, though.

Great suggestion for a thread. Will have to find an appropriate pic.
About 1966, about 1976 & 1986 (Isle of Wight x 2 & Corfu) -

Wow! You got a LOT bigger! :lol:

How old are you, Richard, if you don't mind me asking? In 1970, I was just starting primary school! :eek:
Nice chick (and groovy clothes), btw! :respect:
Marco.

I'm quite sure these have appeared here before however...... 1) around 16 years old. in Jersey on hols. 2) 23 years old and getting married to the wrong woman. 3) 40 years old and pretending to be an artist.
Is it the last one where you're 40, Gordon?
Marco.

Yup, we had just moved to Suffolk and I started a business drawing people's houses on the Mac whilst the other half started the interior design business. My 40th birthday was about three months after we moved in. Seems a while ago now - 28 years is quite a while I guess.
Love the somewhat smug 'intellectually pensive' look! :eyebrows:
The beard makes you look a little older than 40, though...
Marco.

I'm 66. And the nice chick just laughed! She still makes groovy clothes, I don't make any now. Just hifi and stuff.
The latest picture of me, from 5 or 6 years ago, in Menaggio, Lake Como. Since I retired I've let my hair grow. The longboard name is from the phrase "No fool like and old fool". :rolleyes:

It was an official 'advert' photo by the local rag. She was a total prat which probably explains the 'look' (although smugness is not unknown amongst we intellectually pensive folk).
Without the beard I have always looked about ten. Probably no longer the case.:(

Hmm...are photos the same as mirrors? If so, it appears you are a vampire:eyebrows:
