Sean, I found this site a few days ago via Merlin Mann's Flickr stream (for any Mac geeks out there). I had a few goes, but the only image of myself that was available to me at the time was a very grainy 667, so the 'Yearbook Me' has bad acne in all shots. I was going to try again before posting here, but never found the time and now you beat me to it anyway, so here are the best few.
 ;D ;D

Oh dear god in heaven I cannot stop laughing. Leave it to Moo to find something like this. I'm looking again and I am laughing harder and harder. I want to try but I am ascared of spyware. I am not sure which one I like best. If I can find a decent picture I will give it a go...

Great stuff, Becky. These are some of the funniest (and the spookiest) I've yet seen. That bottom one looks like Robin Gibb  out of the Bee Gees (on the left in the snap below). I definitely need to do some more Yearbooking....with all this free time I have. Hah!
 :D

And I see you've changed yr Filmwasters avatar too. Nice!! May have to look into that myself.

By chance, does anyone else see a curious resemblance here?

Ed? Ailsa?
...Any hints from your parents there might be a deep hidden secret they always wanted to reveal?

Thought I would look for my feminine side. I clearly don't have one.


Never can get my glasses on straight.


"Now whoooo did that. C'mon, own up"










I look like my sister in this one - only she had more whiskers than me.


This was when I was a trolley dolley for Laker Airways.

peter - I am scared more than I have ever been scared before.  Watching Jaws when I was 8 is up there, but your lady-self .... words fail me.  I think a whole new round of CBT is needed to get the effects of those pics out of my psyche.

Ronnie Corbett!!! Yes! But when I was making up this photo on the yearbook site, I was struck at how much
this looks like my uncle, who is a country/bluegrass musician living in Nashville.
