Me as a teenager
That's me in the yellow t-shirt.
Don't laugh at the pants they were all the fashion in those days.
I used to sail yachts competitively with the guy I am with.
That is me on the left with some chicks and buddies.
I had very long hair which you can only sort of see.
The guy behind me is a bad boy.
This is me on the left at my brother's wedding.
I like the look on my face on this one.
I am under pressure because I had serious responsibilities to perform at this formal occasion.
But another part of me likes the stress and pressure of it all.
Below is me aged 16 and I have a cigarette in my hand.
I was super fit in those days from all the sport and surfing I did.
I find this photograph a bit perturbing. The look on my face and my whole posture I suppose.
In some ways I was a very mixed up person then and I can see it in the look I have.
Generally life was good but at times it wasn't at all

very handsome chaps indeed. I am glad you could handle traditional-obligitory events such as weddings Graffiti. I just got through my own ceremony with all that anxiety going on for me. Overwhelming really, on my day.
Is that your sister on the beach with the gang?

Tony,
Your brother is very different to you isn't he? Is he older than you? and where's your dad? I've seen your mum and now your brother and your sons but not your dad.

Please can they leave them alone? Please? Please...?
Why is it like this? Why can't they just leave them alone? Why?!
whatever

Westham got one up on Liverpool, Graffiti. The memories of impending relegations seem to have fading.

Awww Tony, you were lovely. All fresh faced and 'innocent' - I do think you have improved with age though. I lurrrvvv long hair but your current look does a lot for you!

I think you are handsome though unlike Vix, i don't like long hair! Too 70s.
Your smile hasn't changed but your nose... changed shape??
(sorry in a cheeky mood!)
Glad to hear you got stuck in the oral fixation stage too.

Don't know if my brother is that different from me Roses. Him being in the middle. This was just a photo of the male part of the bridal party so my father is not in it but he was in plenty of others

A good win Kenoath and I see Beckham has been excluded from the English side. And Kewell has been ruled out of the Aussie side due to a fake injury

QV and Kahless,
That was the look in those days with the long hair. It was quite long indeed.
No i don't think my nose has changed there has never been an injury to it to modify its shape and I haven't had any work done like wacko Jacko

Well, it looks like you were all excited Tony - like a cricketer watching the ball leave the bowlers hand; prepared and now critically preparing for the stroke and he - well he's ready to salute a higher ranking officer that's just about to pass by. It is his wedding though so i guess fear will do that to you. He looks sad. I'm afraid for him. So strange...

He had a good wedding and a good marriage Roses.
But yes, the wedding day is not really a relaxing day as Kenoath stated.
Really the wedding day is for the guests much more than for the bride and groom in this way.

Ohh i'm glad they did well. True, it's much easier for the guests than the bride, groom, and crew.

I think I was traumatised for three days after my wedding Roses.
Nothing bad happened and it mostly went to plan. But just the whole experience was overwhelming.

Tony,
The wedding was easy for me. I was 8 mths pregnant and had never used a washing machine before. It wasn't the wedding that had me bamboosled. But the rest of the marriage stuff... talk about boggled! Holy Smokes!

Surely not Roses!!
"Up the duff" for 8 months when you got married!!
Must have been hard to walk down the isle.
Cheers

Actually ... not at all Tony. Dad practically carried me down the isle. Most people get to walk elegantly with grace - for us, its was like a 100 meter dash! We (the whole bridal crew) were late too, i hope poor old dad brought some clean undies. *giggles*
Nice look huh? ...AND a good day was had by all!!...
a cheeky - roses
Ps, but my fun of fun on a Saturday is that I recieved my book in the mail. I actually found an Eric Berne book to buy. Umm, 'Games people play' - i'm reading that now. He uses big words. Must have been one of his early books. It's all good, maybe the next couple of times i read it, i'll catch the general gist of what he may be saying.
Please do your best to have a lovely week end. It's important you know...

I am sure your dad was as proud as punch for his girl on your wedding day Roses
