If you should watch the nine o clock news tonight (if they still have a nine o clock news) be sure to take a look at this:

26 years ago today. A slice of history.

I remember the Nottinghamshire picket lines well.

Oberon · 03-23-10, 03:49 PM

I thought you might Jim, seems funny to think I was, what, nine days old!

TarJak · 03-23-10, 04:36 PM

Jim would have been what? Forty or so back then?

I preferred this:

Hay bastid!...I resemble that remark

26 years young actually

TarJak · 03-23-10, 04:45 PM

I was only 19. Good times, the ones I remember anyway.

Ah, but the really good ones are the ones you don't remember. You just have to reconstruct them as best you can by rounding up all incriminating photos, videos, contemporaneous entries in the diaries of your old friends, and the occasional police report.

I wonder if anyone can spot me from that era....perhaps even in a skirt

Inches mate inches.

As you'd know from Huston

@FrauKaleun: I don't recall any times were there were photo's being taken, none of my friends were the diary taking sort and AFAIK the police never caught up with us thats the problem. Reconstruction is a real problem when there is little evidence lying about.

Aside from the obvious "the one with the tit on his head" joke, using my Sherlock Holmes like powers of deduction I shall eliminate the obvious red herrings: The skirts are out, your cross dressing days had not started back then.

Not the bloke in the tracksuit, you like a tab way too much to be caught in public wearing one.
Not one of the to old codgers with the sticks or the blokes with the caps (Too senior, too old).
Eliminating all the skinny ones leaves the bloke with the mo in the middle row 2nd from left, though you don't strike me as a mo wearer.
So my guess is the big bloke on the far right of the middle row.

Sounds to me like you're free to move confidently into the revision stage, then.
