Photo Album
Heres a picture of me after a 70's theme party in London. Oct'95. I don't normally wear clothes like that, but this particular night that mighty fine brown jacket was the star of the night.  Notice a gun pointed at my head.(suspicious...)




Here's me with my University mates, bored out of hell during the Spring of '91. We were really bored, but then again Portsmouth was one hell of a sorry place to be. (Would make a good album cover, though.)


Heres a picture of Bert & Ernie.  No Particular reason, except they were a pretty funny duo, a bit like Laurel and Hardy, except they were muppets. (Ernie is the one on the right)
