I've already posted a pic of myself though here's another seeing as I have one from Le Mans. This would have been 1999 at the Beausejour campsite, I'm wearing the black fleece kneeling by the driver. He was asked to take part in the driver's parade, the car is a 3 wheeler Grinnall Scorpion and apparently he was swamped for autographs!
At what age did you give up the Irish dancing?Snap - reckon about 1970 too but I'm a little older...
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
I saw that on TV, but I really didn't expect him to walk away from it.
The photographer (and crowd) were very lucky it didn't vault the fence too!

Where was the first one taken?
My mum and dad had a similar photo (but in colour) taken of me in the late '60s/early '70s at Selfridges (I think).
In those days, of course, you waited for the photo to be developed and when it turned up my Mum looked a bit disappointed - I had to point out that the fact it wasn't a great likeness of me was because the kid in the photo had bright ginger hair!Eventually the correct photos were reunited with the appropriate children!
And... if you don't look happy at that point, there really is no hope!

I had a press pass for 10 or so years and used to hang around at the Esses and down to Tertre Rouge at the start of the race. Not that year though. Here's one of my favourites:2011, France

I'm in the orange shirt. It was supposed to be a Hawaiian-style sunset over some palm trees but looks more like the opening scene from Apocalypse Now, I had to buy it. Mainly it annoyed my then girlfriend. My press pass blagging days are long gone (can't be arsed, frankly, it made it all much less fun).

It's not, that was an open day where I put on a display for the public, the kids could chat to me through the comms box, they loved it!!
Thank you. And well done, I can easily believe they were thrilled. I probably would be

It took three hours,(maybe four) IIR, to get it back to the road. I was fair buggered, I have to admit.

He means sleeping. A long, restful sleep. For your daughter.

This one went to the Game Dealer, but I could see no reason why it would not have been delicious.

Always fancied having a go at Shark fishing off the west coast of Africa, big beach casters and multipliers along with a pit in the sand to wedge the rod into while playing them out.This is about the oldest photo I have of me available, 2002 in Namibia. Fishing off the beach near Swakopmund
