Could be almost anybody.

Fred and Sue are partial to wandering round Boot Sales and Antique/Bric-a-Brac fairs at weekends (and in his lunch time I believe). The house is pretty well furnished with 60's stuff, formica, G Plan etc. Anything over a fiver was probably a mistake he regrets for ages.

He was probably rummaging through a shoe box of old pics looking for scantily clad 50's movie stars and Sue commented that this one looked a bit like him - he couldn't help feeling flattered - such a nice looking lad and Fred wont allow a mirror in the house so gave him a nice warm feeling inside.

Anyways, I think he paid about 10p for it together with some samples of flock wallpaper ....bit sad really:D
 
Guess who?? I just love these old photo threads - well, any photo threads really. Thanks Fred. Here's mine - taken by my Grandfather, the Eleventh Earl, in the mid-1940's in the grounds of the ancestral home................

Do you have any Danish ancestry?



Looks like Sandy Toksvig (? sp)

Lord knows how many times this has been explained to you and you still get it wrong. You are supposed to rape the women not the men.

Giz a break, boss. Anyone can make a mistake. And I have to admit that my 'pillaging' now is confined to taking my medication four times a day. :)

Look! earlier this year at my place you rushed into the Marquee all excited shouting that some geezer called 'Itler had invaded Poland. I asked at the time had you been listening to the news on that old radio of yours.
get a new radio and keep up to date on what's happening in the world.
 
Being boring and drifting back on topic...... (apologies in advance)

This thread reminded me of a photograph of me being taught to sail by my daddy. I *loved* that Disney lifejacket and, as I recall used to insist on wearing it round the house as well.

What with you in your Disney L.J. and Chris in his Romper Suit. I hope you guys didn't go out together in your teens intent on pulling birds dressed like that.

I thought I had the prize for Dork of the Year nicely sown up but having seen that LJ of yours, I'm not now quite so confident! :)

Thanks for playing - seems like the rest of the usual suspects have hibernated.

Unless another Fatwah against Frivolity has been issued of course. :(
