You bear more than a passing resemblance (IMO) to Alan Cumming, who played Boris in Goldeneye.

Me, around 7 years old, learning to code on my Speccy +2A. Or playing Jet Set Willy.

Probably the latter actually, as there's no book in front of me and my fingers are clearly hovering over Q, A, O, P and Space.

No, you did that by moving the opposide way to the rope for up, and the same way for down.

I'm sharing too. This was Lands End. I think probably 1988.

Why are your arms so long? Are you wearing a velour jumper?

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38669

My arms are still very long. And yes. Velour. We were a poor family, so we only had clothes made out the things we could catch or harvest. Luckily, there was a clutch of wild velour bears living on the patch of waste ground behind our house. I was able to kill a small blue one with a sharp rock and fashion a tasteful v-neck.

Oh no, wait... that one was a hand-me-down.

I've just been sent this by a uni friend, so I think this is summer 1995...

I love that your tie is wonky. Also that you haven't aged in twenty years

That's lovely to say, thank you, but I'm not sure that is the case! Too many grey hairs in the wrong place, not enough brown hair in the right place, and not slim enough to name but three...

This is my brother and I from around 2005... Possibly?

Look at that hair!

How long after that did it take till your legs grew to a normal length?

Here is my old band, Sandstone. Our roadie (Jack) also makes an appearance.

Needs more denim.

Jack is on the left?

TheVision · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2018 15:18

Yeah... That's Jack. As a roadie, he was useless. He could carry things but couldn't change a guitar string and regularly broke things that he was setting up.

Blind as a bat, had a heart defect and thought wrestling was real.

Good lad though.

You can tell he's a wrong'un. Looks like he wants to be in The Seahorses.

Also, the first(!!!) guy wearing a Che Guavara t-shirt, did he go on to play in Symposium?

Nope. He's now dead.

The other 4 (including Jack) are all fine. The guy second from the left is my brother.
