Featured photo of me

Grrrrrr. Those of you who have been on line today will have seen a highly distorted picture of me on the 'front page' , so I hope you had a good laugh at my expense ! I was slim then, and that photo is even fatter than I am now !

Re: Featured photo of me

actually the photo randomly changes for every visitor so it's unlikely that anyone else saw it!

Re: Featured photo of me

Is that really 'slim' Brian or should it have been 'slimmer'?

Re: Featured photo of me

My weight, aged 24, was about where you are now Brian. Similar "appreciation" over the intervening years makes mine proportionately less, though!

Just like you, I too was aghast one day to encounter my image at age 60 displayed front page, imagining it to be
"pic(k) of the day" What a relief!

Re: Featured photo of me

With all those photos on the website what would be the probability of you seeing a picture of yourself?
Fat chance?

Re: Featured photo of me

Well, certainly fat!

Re: Featured photo of me

I was also the "featured: photo at age 58, although "fat" may have been the operative word for Brian, around that time I attended a Regimental do and I found that the trousers of my blues uniform were far too baggy and I reluctantly had to wear the pants I had been issued when I first received my commission at age 25
