I think we can all relate to that!!! Don't really look all that different now except for being about three stone heavier!!! Amazing what being chained to a desk all day does!

Back to the original thread, shipmates - and here's a recent pic of myself, in 'My God You Look Old' mode.

I got my first grey hairs at 22 and had a full head of the white stuff by 38. Still, at least it's all my own hair. (The thing on the left is my son's dog Whopper and not some kind of horrible growth attached to my chest.)

Now why don't you other blushing violets stick some pictures on? Don't be shy now. If a face-ache like me can take the plunge, anyone can.

Would the said 'Whopper' be a Rotty, perchance ??

Sort of a Rottweiler-Labrador-Bull Terrier thingy. Much more handsome than I've ever been, whatever the case. Spends all day lolling on sofas and failing pathetically to bark, growl or bite intruders.

Now where's that recent photo of Richard Ruck?

Only asked about the dog because youngest daughter has the biggest, butchest male Rotty you've ever seen.

Very dangerous coz he'd lick you to death, but don't tell the burglars !

Make sure the lens is built from toughened glass

No more feeble excuses, please.

Sorry EA but it is not available. You have to log in with your password to AOL but when I put SWMBO's ID in I found you have to be signed up for the photos extension as well.

I'll just have to remember those legs

Until 12 months ago my weight hadn't varied more than 8 lbs in the 40 odd years since I left CH (except for 2 - 3 month periods after bouts of malaria). From photos I probably haven't changed much either (except for an even worse temper)

Be thankful you are unrecognisable - the worst about being on the box was being phoned up at 3am by someone complaining I was getting too much exposure (and I was always covered from neck to feet - including gauntlets!)
