Default New Archival Material Has Come to Light

Presented to our Australian brethren by MLU, as a public service...

... two photographs which may be of particular interest within your wonderful community. Beware... a much older, slyer version of this young lad is still with us! Can anyone take the risk of identifying him? Only time will tell - I shiver to think about the consequences...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Photo No. 1 / CAPTION AS GIVEN:

"I'm going to get back at them, I swear! The nerve of them, stopping me from nicking that stupid old Blitz... someday when I'm famous they'll regret it!"

"What a waste of time! I've got better things to do other than watch that old bugger fool around with this stupid piece of junk! It's time for a pint with me mates anyway, and maybe check out that new sheila down at the pub. Now where did I put my comb?"

Default It's all yours...

Try and figure just who the hell this is (if you dare!) and if you're so inclined, please feel free to come up with more suitable captions; the young fellow was obviously a bit misguided at the time...

Over to you lot!

Default Looks a lot like this guy

I must say that's a fine specimen of young manhood you have unearthed there, Jif.

I managed to find a much earlier shot if that helps your I.D.

I may even have a more recent one somewhere too.

Wonder who it is...

You're kidding ... you mean actually I'm correct? Wow. Score one for Ma Yappy and None for Pa Hanno (serves you right Master H)

I've seen a few "recent-ish" photos of Master R but no young ones.

What is "VB" though eh?

Karmen whuh huh

Yes, ideedy it does Master R. :witch

This game is no fun for me, you all know what I look like as a kid so no point posting a pic of me

BUT .... should any of you MLU-ers sneakily send a pic of a young MLU-er to Jif, Keefy, or moi, telling us who it is, we'll be happy to enter it in this game (one of yourself perhaps? ) ... or even post someone elses pic yourself!!!
