attached photo is at alty station spot a sylph like gazelle and uk vegan (now a kendal town fan)remarkably there are three people at least who still support alty on the photo.
can you name them all SW

[markecky]

Although this was before my time, I can't work out who any of them are including you Mr Gazelle.

I can just about recognise John Peel on the far left

[thegazelle]

you probably wouldnt know the two others but they do go to some matches and have faded into middle age maturity with a bit more dignity than me . thought you might get me AND I THOUGHT I WAS FAT IN THOSE DAYS. I'll keep the spot the gazelle quiz going

[jiminlondon]

simon arran (sp?) and you with big phil behind with the scarf
is one of the blond lads dave? another steve? 

i'm quite clearly senile

ps those haircuts/clothes gives a lie to the idea that britain was in the grip of punk/new wae in 1978

[SW]

I've got Steve Watson, with the lead singer from The Sweet stood behind him, Gazelle with Phil Hall behind, Si Arron. The bloke behind comb over I recognise but the name escapes me. Think his dad was a butcher if that helps! Young lad on the end could be someones (Si A's?) brother.

steve watson thats the name i was groping for. house had a swimming pool?

[thegazelle]

what a memory jim.
We were a bunch of public school boys of course we wernt gripped by the punk era, i didnt get punk until i was 35.

 we were a fine example of thatchers youth who went on to become pillars of industry and high flyers in the world of high finance

Taxman, policeman, civil servant, journalist, carpet cleaner, travel agent and full time drunk, not quite what WHGS had in mind for us

The lead singer from the sweet is actullay Una Stubbs.

Funny that most people remember steve's swimming pool i think the whole of hale used to go to parties there

[SW]

So who is the bloke behind "comb-over" and indeed who is c.o.?

Who's the beardy one on the end?

[thegazelle]

its chris wrigley aka UK vegan. i think comb over bloke is from the guardian and bloke on the end with beard is some random bloke who was probably going to work at dane road . i have no idesa who the whippersnappers are or who the bloke back right is

[jiminlondon]

now yer talking i wish i could find some photos from those evenings .

Youth is wasted on the youth

[jiminlondon]

i dont believe there to be any photos of me in existence from 1976 to 1983 
youth is indeed wasted on the young

[SW]

I wouldn't worry too much Jim, when i saw you at Histon last season you didn't look a day older than when i saw you last, Wembley 86 I reckon! What's the secret?

[jiminlondon]

cigarettes and whisky and wild wild women 

people always say i look young but i can tell you i dont bleeding feel it
