The Dazzling 1980s or "As you were"

You say winner. I say loser. :smiling_imp:

Mind bleach, pass the mind bleach! :scream:

1985
Taken in the Sixth Form toilet block.

(If I type 1985 with a full stop after it, it comes out as 1. Some rogue redundant code?)

I have no idea why this photo is so small, or what colour my hair was supposed to be. It was 1989, I was mostly on another planet.

Ah, sorry for the annoyance - that’s Markdown being over-zealous.

Any line that begins number, dot, and is followed by text will be converted to a numbered list, even if the numbers don’t start with 1.

To deliberately avoid this you can put a slash before the dot:

1985\. your text here

Renders as:

1985. your text here

Completely obvious, eh? :dizzy_face:

Scary, I have a photo of my sister looking just like that.

A photo of me a year and a half before my 21st. A lifetime away.

Did you know that the band Japan used to rehearse at Mick Karn’s folks in Elsinore Rd before they moved out of the area?

None of you will never see my pictures. EVER.

Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze played in Home Park in Sydenham a few years ago as part of the Sydenham Arts Festival and regaled us with stories of the local bands and their shenigans, including Japan.

This is me in the early 1980s during my ‘giant’ phase.

I love the 80’s - nothing to be ashamed of - at least our photo’s didn’t require us to swing from a wrecking ball butt naked or pout into a selfie with our bits hanging out in order to get some attention.

Speak for yourself. Thus my previous statement on the matter.

Okay here goes with my 80’s pics :rofl::rofl::rofl:

All are early 80’s except the bottom right which is late 80’s doing some kind of performance before I moved to London.

Think I liked a spiky haircut in the early 80’s, though I should have sued the hairdresser :joy::joy::joy:
