Here is a photo of me at Grammar School, age 11. Yaroosh !

As you can see, with that longish hair, it was mid-seventies, and a time when blazers and ties were still worn in school.

The excellent Thomas Merton posted a story of schoolboys with briefcases being harrassed by ghastly oiks with sports bags. I was a boy with a briefcase, a black vinylette model.

Feel free to post your own boyhood photos on, this, my topic.

Two complements in one day - it's enough to make a man go out and wash his hair (if he had any). I can only say thank you.

Anyway, continuing in the theme of this thread, here is a picture of TM taken at about the same time as the OP's.

Perhaps the word excellent is not quite appropriate here (my excuse is the photo was taken in the Negev desert).

So it was you who used to beat me up every day and steal my Marmite sandwiches. I knew I'd find you.

Here is me in a swing in 1964.

Baby bouncers are now considered bad parenting. I don't know why.

My first born was happily bouncing away in our door frame, when a screw came loose and he summer salted across the room.

He's now a drummer in a heavy metal band.

Who can deny, she could be the product of an indiscriminate squirt in an indiscriminate place, in those times when we did things that are the stuff of dreams for the post-Aids' generations.

The 6 photos are of the Eye of Sauron in 1965. Look at the photo bottom right in which I am tugging the ears of a teddy bear.

This is the same teddy bear that is in the other photo. As you can see, taken today, sitting in front of a photo of Thomas Merton looking like Ernest Hemingway and oozing manliness.

..the continued presence of 'Big Ted' brings into question Buddhist theories of impermanence.

Very cute photos.

...but the continued reference to Thomas Merton, Ernest Hemingway and manliness brings into question credibility.

" oozing manliness " is the bit I would worry about Tom.

I suggest you get it seen to ASAP

I know I'm smoking a cigarette and smiling...but there is a difference between oozing and squirting, isn't there?

I like This Thread

Here is a photo I took of Thomas last night - as you can see age has not been so kind to him.....

I have blurred the face of the lady for her privacy - but be assured she is a beautiful woman .

Oh, I dunno - I think he is better looking that the real me.

Pretty stupid to pretend to be me, though, but then originality comes at a price he was obviously unequipped to pay.

UUGH - now I've shaken the gin from my brain - I can see, with that stupid tee-shirt on, this guys a bloody aussie.

There is no way a man of my integrity would ever go in a "sports" shirt from that part of the world.

Just stay up the bloody tree naked. As per usual.

wondered how long before you cottoned on to that - salt is a good preservative - I found the irony pleasant - nearly went and chased up a cricket shirt from suk road...

Colectomy bag burst has it, Doc?

Nevermind they are cheaper in Australia - dual purpose.

I'm not sure where the golliwog sitting adjacent to me has gone, but I do miss him.

Golliwogs are no longer allowed because they are racist and cause babies to develop extreme right wing tendencies.

The bloke in the photo is wearing what looks like a tv.com name sticker on his left breast.... Is it?

Why did you blur TM's face?

...'cos she's probably got 10 times more originality as the waste of time on the left.

There's a real danger she will sue for defamation of character.

maybe its just spelling errors....

I know who that is on the left. But i'm not saying.
