Bobs_Buckles Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 I'm one of the original old gits that signed up to BritMod back in 2007. Here is a more up to date pic of me (pre Beer flu) walking in the Highlands of Scotland. Happier days. Cheers, Bob 9

Gidday, I think he's worried the bird is going to take off with his spectacles, or decorate the back of his shirt. 😁 Regards, Jeff.

jackroadkill Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Well, I've been here long enough now to show you all this: Taken in 1998, this is the 19-year old Jackroadkill, lamenting the fact that the usual supply of black lipstick had run out. I thought I was so cool.... Still, we all make mistakes. Fast forward to the Christmas 2020 Blitzenbuild, add a good bit more fat, and you get this: Where did it all go wrong?! 8 13

We're doing all right, all things considered, hope you're well, Dennis! I'm afraid I've been wasting a lot of time painting tiny Warhammer 40,000 space marines instead of doing proper modelling, but I trust this too will pass in time. 1

My wife and I are doing well, my mother on the other hand isn't. Poor woman was walking out of a grocery store a week ago last Friday and was run over by a car. A few surgeries later and she’s been moved to a rehab facility. 5

I thought I was so cool.... Yeah, I've got many of those myself. This is me aged ~23 thinking I was a rockstar: Fast forward to today and this is me aged 41. Older, wiser (ok, maybe not), slightly more metal stuck through my ears, and definitely more knackered. The hair's still just as long, I just don't braid it any more: James 10

81-er Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Indeed I was. Much to my amazement I've actually still got the rest of the pictures from that gig on this pc (I thought I'd archived them years ago). So just for you Jack, here's the guitar in question, an Ibanez RG7321 that I'd stuck green Dimarzio's in: Note the insanely excessive (and rubbish) Ibanez fullstack, completely overkill for a back-of-a-pub gig in a room with a max capacity of about 100 🤣 My hearing is actually not too bad, thanks to investing in decent earplugs at a young age. And here I am few years later playing bass for my band that came closest to musical glory, at Tuffnel Pak Dome: The drummer for that one also played with the James Taylor Quartet at the time (which we were very different to as we were a death metal band) and the hairy wookie at the right is one of my best mates, who's had two stints in Cradle of Filth.

desert falcon Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Well since I have had so much entertainment going through all of the above pictures, and not least the comments, here is one of me at work some months back when Airbus Helicopters were celebrating the 25’Th anniversary of the EC/H135. It’s funny, I have had red hair pretty much since I was born, then, as I woke up on the morning of my 55’Th birthday I had suddenly started to grow a grey beard 🙄 7
