TMP....have you noticed that back then all kids were skinny?
In fact pretty much everyone was!
In a school of around 1,000 pupils there was only one fat boy!

In a school of around 1,000 pupils there was only one fat boy!
Our resident fatty at junior school was Kenny Edgett. He was 10 stones before he was 11 years old. His younger brother Brian wasn't much smaller. Their dad wasn't that big, about 6-2 and 16 stones. I met Kenny years later at a job in Silvertown. We were both aged 26 then. He weighed about 27 stones by then, but he was 6 feet 5, and in his own words 'I carry it well don't I'. He was an excellent swimmer and still played Sunday League football, and he wasn't a goalie either.
At senior school the resident fatty was Peter Edmondson, who got the nickname 'Wobble'. He was nowhere near as fat as Kenny, but he was the fattest, so he got the nickname. The other 399 kids, including Wobbles older brother Ronnie, were all normally skinny.

Our fat boy at school was called Holgate (can't recall his first name) and he was tormented something cruel.
One morning, before assembly, he was stood over the tennis net, on one of the front courts,
and had it wound up tight under his crotch.
There was no way he could get off, without falling onto the asphalt, and doing himself an injury.
I hasten to add that I was not party to this mischief, nor was I the one who took his enormous under pants, when he was in the shower, and hoisted them up the flag pole!

Is there any greater tragedy than a fat child insufficiently bullied?

I'm wanting to send some shocking ones of my lot, but I have two scanners and I can't find the drivers for either one!
Also my son gave me back the slide converter, that I bought for him, but I am totally clueless as to what to do with it!

Most of mine are lifted from the Facebook pages of daughters
All the ones I put up were from that same source, but apart from my daughter with 12 toes,
I can't find anything dodgy!
I know my son converted some slides so waiting for him to send me the goods.

Why did the blonde one dye her hair ? My eldest dyed hers deep red when she was 15. I asked her why she did it.
'Felt like it' was the simple answer.
It was blonde at her eldest daughters confirmation, but she has it black at the moment

Youngest after her race three years ago.
A few on here who were generous, beyond belief, will remember that.
She was well hung over, after her birthday bash the night before. She started near the back
of 6,500 runners and finished in the first forty!
She raised the most money of any individual runner! Proud or what!

Hello Stevie, long time no see
Do you remember Clarkson playing with some of your stuff on photo-shop

Hello TMC - or should it be Dave Angel?
Yeah I remember - good job I can laugh at myself!
I only venture onto the forum now and again - is Clarkson still on here?
Are still up Cambridge way? I think that's where cc said he'd met you.

Trusty CC to get lost, which he did on the way here, and on the way home
I'm in west Norfolk these days, but I do live in the middle of nowhere
For the record, SDK and Josey Wales also got lost out here in the sticks on separate occasions, and they have got sat-nav
Clarkson doesn't post much these days, not hard to see why
When he appears it's 99% certain to be in the chit chat pub thread
In the words of our absent friend 'keep it real'

Some nice pics by you tmp.
I was just hoping that a few more might post here, as it would be a really interesting thread, I think!
Come on guys , lets see some nice, or dodgy (whatever) pics.

Me and my late wife, Christine, lost her 16 months ago.
The other pic is of me (on the right

Top pic fair bit of damage to it, still a nice photo though.
Wrong, TMP.

Gosh orioles, I hadn't noticed that!
I'll get James to do it again, although on second thoughts, there may be a reason for it!
If you wear those crazy 'flip-flops' that the Australians call 'thongs' you need that gap for them to fit properly!
Apparently there is a surgical procedure to create the gap, if the thongs are uncomfortable.

johnizere....I bet that photo is incredibly precious to you!
It would make an excellent canvas!
If you haven't seen them check out some of the sites. They regularly appear as "deal of the day" into my e-mail so
perhaps you get them too!
I have this one here in my home office. It's a fabulous photo, taken by James when the little guy was about 27 months old.
The composition and colours are brilliant, and I love how he is looking back and how the light catches his hair.

Looks like he's poaching, AP. Beady eyes looking for the gamekeeper ... clearly another wrong 'un.
Us Gypsies teach or kids in these affairs from an early age!
What was really amusing about this, was there is another photo of him sitting on a bale.
When this was taken he had asked if he could go look at the little bales.
It's quite difficult to explain to a two year old about perspective!

Two special people in my life. My son and Grandson, on his first trip to Anfield and in "The Kop"
We live nowhere near Liverpool, and I am not the greatest fan of the sport, but James somehow latched on to them from his early
school days, and has supported them ever since!
Btw, little Lucas could tell you the names of almost all the players, and who was the manager, and who was the goalie,
before he was three years old.
How cool is that?

One cow, one goat and one and a half gallons of insecticide.
I think we are getting closer. As with any deal it isn't a good deal unless it suits both sides!
One cow (in calf) two ducks, one chicken, seven litres of insecticide and a hand drawn picture of a dinosaur!

Gem is in Sydney for a month, across Xmas and the New Year so give it some thought.
I'm pretty sure you will get nowhere with RTB as he wouldn't want anyone canoodling with his daughters!
I'll think about it in the gym now, and must remember not to chuck my banana skin out on the way, and my apple core on the way back!
