Be Excellent To Each Other

This week's challenge is to track down and post the youngest photo you can find of yourself - but from when you were over 18.

If you can't find any, then the one you take today will count.

Points awarded for damage, control, style and aggression how much the photo makes me laugh.

Best I can do so far is from 2009 when I was 26:


Edit: Although having said that, there's one of me in the background on the wall from 2004, when I was 21.

I'm pretty sure it's this one. Standing at the back, obv - with bonus Mr Chris on the right!

Now with photo!

Fabulous!

MaliA and friend, Sheffield. Could be 1999 or 2000

Edit: 2001 as I remember getting my eyebrow pierced and being in trouble.

You win!

Courtesy of the 'Wayback Machine' thread, this gem from July 2000. Kern aged 18 and five months.

When I was 22

Me on the right, aged about 21, before I evolved into a fatter Frankie Boyle.

Some great photos so far. I'm totally not going to disqualify multiple entries.

Handy that you started a new thread for this so when the challenge is over, we can just delete the whole lot.

still not forgiven Crastor for the duckface challenge, that ended up on FB...

Oldest one I can easily access is this from 2000. I'd just got my first digital camera and I'd been annoying people with it, so my mum snapped this one of me. I had just turned 20.

Bonus shot of my bedroom from back then What a nerdy slob I was.

So I'm Scary, my GTA-playing / social drinking friend Nase is next to me, then our mate X Files, then my ex-girlfriend, then Nase's ex-girlfriend (who I think maybe Craster has met, but no-one else).

We are singing "Wannabe" at a house party, and I believe that's the action to the line "taking is too easy".

Early the next morning Princess Diana died, so it's August 30th 1997, making me 18.

This is the very earliest picture I can find online. I'm on the right, at some Skool Disko type event at university, probably in 1999.

Given you have no idea what I look like, this photo will mean nothing.

So here's a picture of a Gnomesed French Fancy wot you can buy at the supermarketz.

WHAT?! WHAT SUPERMARKET?

oops, sorry, currently unavailable

such a french tease.

Tesco

Holy carp, the nutrition imformation on that cake is horrifying. Never read the info on cakes!

MOTHERFUCKER

BTW, Grim... wins.

it looks like his house parties were different to the house parties I attended when I was 18.

It was a huge yearly thing that hundreds and hundreds of people came to, and everyone was invited to perform something if they wanted to.

Note that it wasn't my party (it was actually Baby Spice's parents).

(Not actual Baby Spice)

Well that's mine too, you sod.

Seems an extreme way to voice her objections.

I don't have many pictures of me before the age of 28 but I did find this one.. taken January 13th 2007, so 6 days after I turned 21:

With lots of Pterry books on the bookshelf behind you

Nothing compared to the collection I have now


Just depressed myself by looking to see when the next photo of me was taken... a month or so after my daughter was born in December 2009, nearly 3 years after that one.

I think that all mine are in the Wayback Machine thread.

I don't have any. And neither does Curio!

I have some corkers that are sadly disqualified due to being taken before we were 18.

Unless you pretend you didn't read the rules.

Aged 18 and 1 month.



On the left, obviously.

And with bonus Craster in the background.

I wonder if that photo of people pouring vodka in my eyes is still online somewhere?

Pretend?

Here's me aged 18 at the left.

Aww, mine will be in the loft (if I have any). Good challenge.

Nice beard!

Thanks.

That's not you, it's clearly Michel Roux Jr.

Nice beard!

Jeez, shut up, Davpaz!

it's ok, I was talking to Jazzy.

Ah, fair dos.

I have a better one somewhere but I can't find it.

Someone should show you how that instrument works.

I bet it's going needeleedeleedeleedellllleeee!

Me, aged 19 I think, so some time in mid 1988
