Inspired by Mali, I figured it would be fun to have a 'post photos of yourself' thread - only one from when you were on the cusp of adulthood, leaving childhood behind to explore the big wide world.

Obviously Malaboob and Nickachu can just post current photos.

So let's see them!

I require at least 5 photos from other people before I post mine. On the basis that I used to look a right wanker*.





*Yes, yes - I know.

I don't really look all that different. Except more darkness around my eyes because I can't sleep at night anymore. Or rather I can for the first couple of hours. Then spend another couple awake in panic then a few more hours sleep.

On a DofE expedition when I was about 17:


High school prom, aged 18:


This is me on a club night out in Leeds when I was about 19:

Here's me giving my mate Neil the Rock Bottom, into a swimming pool.

I am impressed with my elevation.

Silly pictures of me looking even more ridiculous to follow.

Brilliant photo.

Single handedly knocks my entire Flickr account into the shade.

This is the earliest one I have handy. Note the misspelling of my name

This is rubbish so far. Grim... and Mr Russ look no different from how they are now.

I know, right! Curio's picture is amazing.

For context, me age 13 and 3 quarters...

Me, age 22, during my 'experimental' stage

This is 1,000% awesome. My brain is pretty much exploded about how awesome it is.

I noticed that. It should be "G... R... I... M... ......"

This thread is so good it made my hair stand on end!

Your point being?

@Russ, obv.

Russ got new glasses and a better camera.

I hate you.

and you.

did you intentionally copy Wallace's expression?

Damn you. You've got me looking through old pics.

How about taken with my first digital camera (a 1mp Kodak with a serial connection) in 2000?



Edit: Ooh look, the blue jumper!

Edit edit: A fucking Buffy Calendar!

This is the most epically brilliant photo ever. It's worthy of becoming it's own internet meme "Rock bottom in a pool".

Didn't you go mental in Albert Square?

I'm currently scanning my pics btw.

I wish I had scanned more of my old photos before I had sold my scanner.

I'm getting gayer for you by the second.

In a most awesome way.

You'll have to give me more than that bud, I haven't watched 'enders in years

The wife, back when she wasn't my wife (actually taken on our first 'proper' date)

That could've gone worse...

He's talking about the one in the background.

Me aged 17 Uni Application form pic I think.


Me aged 18/19 in Amsterdam.


Me (and MarkG and mate Bob) aged er...20 in the Lakes.


Me aged 20 in mate Sally's garden. Sorted.

Get fucking busy, Craster.

Z, you're my hero.

Also, you look hungry

Mark looks like Michael McIntyre there.

Gotta say, I was expecting this thread to sink like a stone. That'll teach me.

Cloned from the guy behind?

Also...

Oh.

My.

TrainspottingZardoz would've totally battered YoungToryCraster

That's surely your sister.

No, that's LSD.

When did you eat him?

Haha, I know. I think I'm 17 there.

Does that suit fit you now, Craster?

Mr Russel has cloned himself.

Craster, the guy behind you... Dad, Grandad?

I'm still grinning at Craster's photo. Fucking mental.

If Malia had looked like Craster in his old photos, he wouldn't now be hawking his gin-soaked body on the bypass for food

He looks like the young brother from American History X there.
