Just stumbled across this, which must have been from around 1976/7... I'm standing in the middle row, far right (with both the curly perm and the girl!!!). Still good mates with a couple of the guys in the photo, who I've known since I was five - in fact there's about a dozen of us from school who meet up two or three times a year.

That's a school photo???Quote:

I would have been 16 at the time and wearing my dad's old 1950s herringbone coat.
I went to Sexeys School on Lusty Hill.

About 30yrs ago, just not in uniform.
God knows why my hair grew out into a mushroom shape, if I pulled it straight, it was down to my chin!

Well, to be fair the older looking bloke in the front row is a teacher :eagerness:Quote:

This one off my University of Minnesota ID card is probably from 1969, following my stint in the Marine Corps. :smug: (Yeah, I know it looks more like a mug shot!)

You have a solid melancholy Daniel Radcliffe vibe going on there ;-)Quote:

This is 1990 I think. I don't have the full class ones here but in secondary school they replaced class photos with year photos. Quite hard to spot me in the crowd of 200 from those days. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...83145515b9.jpg
We were all holding our newly awarded Royal Yachting association sailing certificates..😎😎Quote:

I’ve just realised that not one of of my old schools have survived into the 21st century! Probably says something...
This is Mrs Rankin’s class, Ambleside First School in 1969. The handsome 6yr old 2nd row from the back, 3rd in from the right is yours truly.
I can still name 24 of those kids but ask me what I did yesterday and I’m clueless.

Motley bunch! The drill sergeant was a brutal ex RM!!...soon knocked us into shape.

I see some b/w photos. Good tool for colourising them, https://colourise.sg/. I applied it to FIL's wedding photo - it must be good as he started crying!

I tried an old pic of my dad from the war and got next to no change.Quote:

I think it must be the age of the photo, I've tried an old photo of my grandad with almost no changeQuote:

I think you're right on the age point, look at this.I tried another pic of my dad which will be 76 years old and it just put a bit of colour in his cheeksQuote:

Strange that one photo colourised predominantly blue/grey the other red/brown.
Yeah it's just like blobs of colour isn't it ?Quote:
