Hi,

I have a question for all of you who have their youth photos as avatars: Are you recognisable nowadays according to the photos ???

Just interested... Very Happy

Hey,

people are as old as they think about themselves. I think you truly are young...

Hm, you may be like seventeen or so in the picture, now that you are 56 (?), I am pretty sure that those looking with their heart would not see the difference. Smile

In my heart I will always be 15. In the pic 17.

I'm 25 but during the last several months I was feeling like a fifty year old. Recently it got better and I have been under 30 again since. Cool

Not in a million years! I was a sweet kid. Just look at me now! Ugh!

There's no actual picture of you to consider..., but you were a sweet kid.
However, each kid is a sweet kid, we just turn ugly when we mature (I'm 25, isn't that silly what I have just written ???)...

Very Happy

My picture is a year and a half old, so hopefully I don't look very different from that now (though it's well overdue for a replacement).

The picture on my driving licence is from when I was only just 17 (or possibly still 16). I've been told it's still very recognisably me; I'm pleased about that, because otherwise I'd probably need to apply for a new one.

To be honest, I don't think I look terribly different from when I was 13 or 14. When I'm back at my parents' house, I might dig out a school photo and scan it, and post it here. (Or Tim -- perhaps you have one?)

I'll be 80 September first and as you can see, I'm still cute as a button.

Dear Mark,

I don't think it would be easy to recognise me because I gave up shaving in 1967 and an unkempt beard and moustache hide a lot!

Love,
Anthony

You look much younger than you really are. Congrtas. Is this due to sports, food, non-smoking, or you just have so called Churchill's gene?
