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.

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.

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

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?

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