Pics of AHers in our youth

    Since After Hours has been getting very nostalgic as of late what with threads on TV show intros we loved back in the 1970s, 80s and 90s and the Ultimate 80s/90s TV show tournament, do yous have any baby/childhood/youth pics that you’ve posted up previously online and everybody goes ”aaaaaww?” ....

    ...or are they pics that you’ve locked away firmly in a cupboard, never to see the light of day again, given how cringeworthy they were - of you in flared dungarees and a pudding bowl haircut? :eek::D


    I’ll start - here’s one of me holding one of our family dog’s pups when I was 8 years of age, in our back garden. :) Taken around the summer of 1983.

    Jaysis. This is a tad bit strange.

    Why is it strange and why would it get locked? If posters want to post up pics taken of then 20, 30 or 40+ years ago, I don’t see the big problem?

    Or am I just being completely naive?:confused:

    My kid looks more like me than one year old looked like me. It’s surprising because my wife doesn’t look like me at all. The combination is a bit like you took a mini copy of me, then used some of my wife’s genes to make him way better looking.

    Not posting pics though.

    Generally any thread with pics of posters gets locked.

    Maybe it won't. I won't be posting any though!

    Ah Jupiter you were adorable. I'd happily post one of me but I've no idea how to post pics on this thing.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,524 ✭✭✭Gynoid


    I had that same sweatshirt Jupiter. Loved it.

    Would post a childhood pic except I have a bazillion siblings, cousins, aunties, uncles and in laws who would rat me out.

    A couple of clips my granny took. I have not changed much in fairness.

    People got doxxed by pricks doing a reverse lookup. A lot of the photos people posted were also on their facebook/instagram/twitter and they weren't hard to find.

    My parents didn't own a camera so there are no photographs of me before the age of about nineteen or twenty.

    Hmmmm....posters seem to be extremely reluctant to ever post up even old pics of themselves. :( I do understand how people want to protect their privacy - and I fully respect that....


    ....but for many it seems hiding behind a keyboard in complete and utter anonymity is the preferred modus operandi.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,817 ✭✭✭Raconteuse


    If I looked really different I might, but the small me is very recognisable as the adult me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,477 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    I don't have any photos of myself as a child handy - there would be some at home in the folks home.

    But don't you just love having a valid excuse not to do something when you wouldn't have done it anyway :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,532 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    I'd die of embarrassment, the state of young me. :pac:

    How do we know that pic is of you? Could be one you found in a second hand shop.
    Also, how do we know if you are actually from Jupiter? You could be from Mars, Venus.......or god forbid, Earth!

    Ah c'mon guys, nobody except for me has any pics of their childhood/youth scanned to digital format and uploadable?

    One more of ol' JK - this time when I was 20 and in college, taken in the scorching Summer of '95...
