Who used to look like this?
« on: December 24, 2006, 09:33:52 PM »
Okay, let's have a bit of fun with the forumists.......Send me ( maggi@bulblog.co.uk) a photo of yourself in earlier times... I don't mean half past four in the morning..I mean when you were younger !
I will post them here without any names and we'll see how good we are at guessing which spotty youth turned into which distinguished gardener ( Because we all are great gardeners, aren't we, even if we're only starting.... the fact that we're SRGC Members and Forumists shows our innate quality!!)
I'll post a couple that those of you reading all the forum pages will recognise from elsewhere, but it'll make a start, then I have a few more I have already been sent to post...Watch this space!!
Keep your photos coming in.... Lesley, have you found the one of yourself in your Shirley Temple outfit, yet?

Yeah, Mark, I think this is amusing! There were so many other things this thread could be called : "who is this daftie?"   "Where are they now" or even  "what are they now?" "guess the year" in some cases would have been fun, too.  I'm expecting to be contacted from the costume department of the big museums to see if any of these historical garments shown being worn by the forumists can be loaned for public display!!

This page is being read quite a lot already... I hope we don't frighten anyone of a nervous disposition.
I only have one more pic to post meantime, so don't just laugh at the photos, send me your picture, too!
This chap looks keen in his school uniform in about 1968

PICTURE SIX: Red Tie Boy
Lovely to see a chap so smartly turned out even if the tie is the colour of grannie's geranium

Very nice pics but are not people supposed to guess?
The first two is already clear from elsewhere but the rest I do not know.
Maybe some one who have met the forum members in person can guess??

Kind regards
Joakim

Yes, Joakim, I am hoping that you will all try to make a guess which photo belongs to which person, regularly posting on the forum. Most of us have not met in person so it will be quite difficult. The fact that some of us have a picture of us as we look nowadays as our ID photo with our posts may make things a little easier. I think people are waiting till there are more photos before making their guesses.
Mark, it is up to you to discover if someone appears more than once!
Herei is another photo that I have been sent to quiz you with:
this  is a female forumist and there are fewer of those, so that should make it simpler to guess!
2015-0
PICTURE SEVEN: Blonde Schoolgirl
added clue: is that a pure wool cardigan?

Here's the latest offering, the file has been sent titled "What a hunk!" I think it is this modesty in our forumists which is one of our best features!!
2019-0
PICTURE EIGHT: Smiley Hunk

added clue: another chap with a family, including two daughters, and they have the proper hair colour





Glad you think me a flower, Anthony, lots would say I'm just a big weed!

The only regular forum poster I have ever met personally was Tony Goode
and I'm sure he is on one of the photos above, but I have no idea on which!

Maggi, whoever says you're a weed will be deleted from my friends-list!!!
