Spot the difference!

[Jo]

All the pics being posted in Gwynnie’s thread made me think that this could be an interesting/amusing thread.

Post a very recent pic of you and one from 10 years ago…

(I’m off to find a pic of me from 1999!)

Topic

[Trena]

But I was nearly sick in my mouth browsing through that thread.

You’d all feel the same if you saw pictures of me from ten years ago, the hapless, chubby, nearly-aware teenager that I was.

[Ian Symes]

The best I can do is 2002…

I’m the one on the left, in the denim jacket that is still my primary jacket.

And more recently:

I refer you here: http://bit.ly/18dMtE

Re: having the same primary jacket as 2002. I was given a Led Zeppelin jacket in 2000. Not only is it still my primary jacket, it is, in fact, my only jacket.

Scroll down the page to the thumbnails. Laugh. Repeat.

[Kris ‘Drivaaar’ Carter]

I need the goatee. I don’t need the widow’s peak. Eh, whatchagonnado.

[Ben Paddon]

Not the best picture, but… well, actually it is the best picture, which is a bit of a bother for me. Must get some proper headshots done when I have… y’know… money.

Me, last week:

Actually, was it last week, or 1980? No, it was 1980. Sorry.

[Tarka Dal]

Oh go on then. At various stages of development…

[TheLeen]

You’ve not changed at all!

[Blisschick]

Me 1998 (or so).

Last weekend, me on the right, with my sister.

[Gwynnie]

Me, about 7 years ago (aged 15) licking some polish!

Me in la pretentious photoshoot about 4 months ago…

A very recent pic – me with Marleen at DJXV!

Oh, and I also once looked like this…

[Jo]

Me approx 1984

1999

Last weekend

[Trena]

Christ, you look like my girlfriend in five years.

[ChrisM]

This picture was taken at the company’s anniversary party in 2001.
EDIT- Never mind, I used the image tag but it didn’t work. Probably a sizing issue. It’s late, I’ll have a look at it again on the morrow. ‘Twas rubbish anyway.

Not sure why I’m talking in ye olde speech. Must be tired.

[Tarka Dal]

> Christ, you look like my girlfriend in five years.

Do we not get to see what you look like Trena?

[Jo]

>Christ, you look like my girlfriend in five years.

Not quite sure how to take that comment…

[Danny Stephenson]

It means he can look into the future.

Five years into the future to be exact.

[Joey TORDFC]

Approx 1999 (We reckon): http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v63/109/94/801280155/n801280155_198256_6577.jpg

There’s some from DJ but I de-tagged them all hahaha!

[Tarka Dal]

See I can do that. Although in the future I see SingingPotato1979 kneeing Trena in the bollocks.

[Trena]

I meant that Jo looks how my current girlfriend would appear five or so years into the future.

…ish.

[si]

I think Joey looks like Daisy from Spaced in that first photo. (That’s the character, not Jessica Hynes, if you know what I mean – she’s got her eyes shut for a start)

Me in the middle indulging in some underage drinking no doubt

http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/redhead85_photos/weddingpic.jpg

Well you guys know what I look like from my avatar which was taken a couple of months ago, but here’s me on my wedding day last year and far thinner! ^__^

EDIT: Gahh can never get images to work in here…hope these links work…

[Alex]

Aged 6-ish I think:

Now:

[ChrisM]

2nd time lucky. I’ll just use links, save resizing this time and all that bum-fluff…

I don’t have any earlier pictures of me on the computer (and I can’t be bothered scanning them in. Or photoing the, er, photos with my digital camera.) Here’s a dreadful picture taken from a company anniversary party in 2001. Back when I was employed…

Oh dear.
I’m the twat with the glasses on the left. Caught when I’m doing something stupid with my mouth. (I swear, I’m not wearing lipstick.)In our defence we were a bit drunk. That bloke in the middle (named Ian) isn’t as camp as he looks.

Me at Berkeley square earlier this year.

Ok. I’m being silly.

Anyway a closer picture. My Avatar, but… bigger. . Borrowed from G&T’s Twitter feed from the event. (Hope that’s ok, it was of me.)

Click for a bigger version if it doesn’t scare you. I’ve noticed that silly blue hat is off centre.

Actually that’s the cropped version of the photo. Dave (I think) was in it too, but I didn’t want to stick it up here without his permission. (I’d just met him a few seconds earlier.) That piece of paper I’m cuddling was a fan-club leaflet handed to me by Jo a few minutes earlier.

[Dave]

It was me, and I wouldn’t have minded.

[hummingbird]

It took me a long time to find half decent photos of me as I tend to be more than a bit camera shy.
Naturally, my scanner is completely failing to acknowledge the existence of my laptop, so I’m afraid the older ones are photos of photos, hence the poor quality. Also the fact that I couldn’t be arsed to photoshop.

Those of a nervous disposition are advised to look away from the screen …. NOW.

Me in roughly 1989 – young, fresh-faced and wild of hair.

1997 – apologies for the gruesome tartan ensemble.

New Year’s Eve 2007: a big group of us did the medieval banquet thing – it was a hell of a lot more fun than it sounds.
Here’s me and the girls. I’m the one on the left.

This was my son messing around with the camera a few months ago.
You can tell that I wasn’t amused.

[ChrisM]

>It was me, and I wouldn?t have minded.

All right then.

Again, click for bigger version.

[Jo]

>That piece of paper I?m cuddling was a fan-club leaflet handed to me by Jo a few minutes earlier.

:o)

[Danny Stephenson]

WHERE’S YOUR HEAD AT?!?!

[The PerformingMonkey]

A couple of years ago in my hairy phase

Me now I’ve cut and dyed my hair (ginger, what else…)

Some human in the avatar claims to be me now but it’s doubtful.

[redhead85]

Wolfwhistle @ Lady Hummingbird ^__^

[hummingbird]

Oh, get outta town! *blushes*

[ori-STUDFARM]

Me and the good lady wife about 1991…or there abouts

This is us sometime later…….fucked if I know when though!

And this is me now….although the hair is thinning and will be shaved soon. Theres hardly anything left to gel into the middle!

[Andrew]

> Wolfwhistle @ Lady Hummingbird ^__^

Indeed. (Though I waited until she was out of earshot before whistling at DJ. I think it’s probably ‘bad form’.)

[redhead85]

@ori – that’s a fearsome goatee. Love it.

@hummingbird – what? You look purdy :-)

I went to my company’s awards ceremony on Friday night (nice glitzy glamour in a hotel near Harrods). Here’s one of the pics of me that was on the site this morning:

http://prazzi.com/goldstarawards/pic198.html

Posey pose pose.

[ori-STUDFARM]

fearsome!…I was fearsome!

@redhead85 I thought you had a spot on your face, but realised it was dirt on my monitor! :D

[ChrisM]

>>@redhead85 I thought you had a spot on your face, but realised it was dirt on my monitor! :D

That’s a nose. Leave her alone.
(I’m only joking redhead, you look lovely.)

>WHERE?S YOUR HEAD AT?!?!

Whose head? What head? Wha?

[redhead85]

> @redhead85 I thought you had a spot on your face, but realised it was dirt on my monitor! :D

Right, that’s it. For that comment, I’m dishing out a pic of a guy with a more fearsome goatee than yours:

http://prazzi.com/goldstarawards/pic201.html

[ori-STUDFARM]

He’s got less grey than I have in his beard….and that has just made my complex three times as bad!

[redhead85]

He’s deaf, if that makes you feel better.

He’s a lovely guy – and a Flight of the Conchords fan!

[hummingbird]

>http://prazzi.com/goldstarawards/pic198.html
Posey pose pose.

How gorgeous are you, girly!

>http://prazzi.com/goldstarawards/pic201.html

That is one scary goatee.

[redhead85]

> How gorgeous are you, girly!

*blush* thank you – mind you, that was before the champagne and the wine and the more wine…

> That is one scary goatee.

Fearsome! ^__^

[Andrew]

I’m really not happy with the recent arrival of attractive people to G&T. They’re really throwing the average off.

To all concerned, would you mind letting yourself go to seed a little? Thanks.

This. I thought I looked pretty fucking awful to begin with, and having proof that you all do look better than I do is pretty soul destrying.

[hummingbird]

> having proof that you all do look better than I do

What, even the guy with the scary goatee?

[ori-STUDFARM]

Me? Or do you mean the guy with the “fearsome” goatee?

[hummingbird]

The fearsome one. I think I may have nightmares.

Although I’m sure he’s really a sweet guy really ;-)

[redhead85]

Aww Fearsome Goatee Man is lovely in real life. We email each other as I’m ashamed to say I don’t know sign language.

And Si – I LOVED your youtube clips – you reminded me of Mike in Spaced, so sweet!
