Did anyone's dad used to cut their hair with one of those razors in plastic things? I remember me dad cutting his own hair with one of them. And having solid shaving soap with a shaving brush, with one of them razors you had to replace the individual blades in (50p for 10 down Wigan market). And him having bog roll all over his face when he slashed himself to ribbons.
you are me
did your parents used to do the Pools as well? I remember everyone having to be quiet when the scores were being read out so my Dad could write them down on the bit provided for it in the paper.
Thankfully my brother used to take me to watch footie every other week so I only had to do the church mouse impression twice a month
quote:did your parents used to do the Pools as well?
YES! The guy used to come round to the house to collect the Pools money, there was a spot on the mantelpiece for the Pools money, whoever answered the door would get the 50p and pay the man
Yep, Saturday afternoon, dad crossing boxes.
Could never get near the telly on a Saturday. My brothers were older andf therefore the bosses, so World of Sport or Grandstand it was.

Thankoooooo
My bruv hates it! Thins he looks like the ugliest baby but I think it's cute. quote:Fracas - which one is you?
Sorry Vegi, missed this. I'm the one at the top with the mother of all bowlheads. Not my finest moment. I was at a 'funny age' like my mother used to tell her pals on the phone when she thought I wasn't listening.

My Dad loved the wrestling at 4pm
As to your photo, you have the shaped fringe so your mum had obviously practiced on the others first Faery - you are so cute in that pic, your brother looks like Churchill

OOoo lovely! I remember that one got so worn you only had to touch it for a hole to rip in it! I think we had a green velour one after...

Aww thanks Veggie.
I remember having that pic taken. He was such a lump, my brother!! My poor mother... quote:My Dad loved the wrestling at 4pm
I used to love it, but me brothers said it was staged and we used to argue til I cried and they laughed. They also used to say I would be sucked under the ground by big tubes at Morecambe beach, which developed into a big panicky phobia and I freaked out whenever we went there.
Me dad was into football (Derby County, they put a lovely lil obit in the programme after he died, still makes me smile/ cry), snooker (which I still love, but I still think it was better when you had the characters and their smokers' cough and beers on the table), and cricket, which I will NEVER EVER understand, but me brothers sit there for 15 hours on end watching it. They even go watching it live, which I fing unfathomable. However, the FB pictures show a tale largely involving lager. New memories
Awwww Dabby x

I used to make it do that on purpose

Ahhh fracas
My much older brother had a similar obit in the Brentford programme when he died. He took me to footie from when I was 5 months old, then I started watching Arsenal when I was 7 or 8 and supported them ever since. I still watch Brentford when I get time.Mason is our family name too
Aged about 5

Oh Veggie it is awful losing a bro... I lost mine (p 30, the big un) big hug mate x
It's funny you mention Brentford, my dad got us into Robert Rankin books from the library, I still have a collection...The Brentford Triangle, East of Ealing, The Brentford Chainstore Massacre...I believe there were open topped bus tours of Brentford for Rankin fans at one time

Top name, I love my name

I loved my big bro, he was one of the happiest sunniest kindest people you could ever meet,
Hugs back
I've never read any Rankin books but I have mates who are big fans. I met him at Wembley (at a scifi convention) a few years back and bought books and got him to sign them for my mates.
He moved to Brighton and writes about there now I think.

you are welcome but be warned, converting from pdf's is a real pain in the backside, its best to convert the whole pahe at a time then cut the pics out using paint.
(unless its just one pic per page)

nope, sorry.
i dont use photfu*kit because you have to sign up and adobe are gits when it comes to the pdf format.
just a thought but did you just try opening the pdf and doing a windoze screengrab (alt + prt screen) then opening paint and pasting the screengrab in?
just testing now.....

Oops sorry, I was skimming and got the wrong name
I'll find an even more hideous picture of myself so you can point and laugh some more as a sincere apology for the mistake. Sorry

ok, just tested it with a pdf i had kicking around and it works.
just to add i used ctrl + prt screen to only capture the pdf window instead of the whole screen, opened paint, pasted the clipboard and saved as a jpg then uploaded to tinypic
