What did you used to look like?

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Fri May 04, 2018 2:29 pm

Finding old photos of you can be quite distressing, and it's no wonder people used to take the **** out of me when I was 18/19. Here I am, approximately 11 years ago, posing like a little emo boy.

I hope this brightens your Friday, but you have to show me what you looked like in the past.

*Edit* - Added another one, my god.

I looked as young and handsome as I do now.

The picture in my attic, however ...

I have the trendy photos too, but then I would be too famous were I to release them. C & J, what are you going to do when your hair falls out? What trendy beard and moustache combo have you in mind?

I haven't fully recovered yet form the loss, because having a shock of blonde hair gives one psychic protection and a bald head can be confused with a particular personality that is an anathema to me.

I've been quite lucky with my hair, a lot of my peers are balding or bald, or thinning/receding. I've got all my hair as I always have had and not really any grays, yet.

I do actually have a beard I kind of look like Frankie Boyle these days, especially with the glasses.

Lucky man.

Since my hair fell out, the women have fallen out.

I remember first time I wore the yellow kit at school PE teacher kept blocking his eyes from the glare. It was the first yellow kit to be seen at school then a Leeds fan showed up in his.
BTW people said I looked liked Sting, but I dont think so, I surely can't sing like him although I do play guitar in a band

My future daughter-in-law said a young Josh Brolin, although she may have been attempting to curry favour, I fancy !!

Regrettably, it's more Stephen Fry these days ....

When I was about 20 I got told I looked like Les from the Bay City Rollers as I got older and grew a Tash I morphed into Terry McDermott so they say

In the 80's I was likened to actor Ian Sharrock who played Jackie Merrick in Emmerdale Farm.

Probably more recently better known as the 'mentalist' in an episode of I'm Alan Partridge.

My late father had the look of Leighton James and my Uncle has the look of Alan Stevenson.

I overheard the wife of a friend of mine trying to fix me up and stop leading her husband away say "He's not Richard Gere but he's not Quasimodo either." So that's OK then.

I look pretty much the same a decade on facial features wise.

The last decade seems to have added a little beard and shorter and much greyer hair.

*i wasn't going to but will add a picture to combat your emo phase with my more "I'm so cool wearing a scarf and fake leather jacket" phase a decade ago*

The columnist Keith Waterhouse, once wrote,"I was at a family gathering and realised that I was middle aged, when the Daddies Sauce bottle was passed to me and the picture looked like my son, not me!"

I'm not quite as good looking now since the root canal work however still popular with ladies.

Late 80s I used to get Steve Nicol a lot. My grandad used to say it, then I played cricket for Rolls Royce at Padiham. I despatched the first ball for 6 straight back over the bowlers head and got a 'great shot Stevie Nicol' from a fielder. I had similar hair colour and had it in a similar style to the Liverpool player.
