Not a lot changes in 10 years, we all stand the same in the same order with the same stupid looks on our faces but by god we look older and of course wiser. In the first photo we are celebrating Rowey's 21st Birthday, in the second we are celebrating the marriage of Simon and Elisabeth over ten years later. From our very early twenties to our early to mid thirties, I can't wait to see the photo from somebodies 40th, which scarily is only 5 years away. In our early twenties we were 100% bullet proof, without a care in the world spending every Monday night and most of the weekend at the pub, at the beginning of our careers, with girlfriends not wives and living with our folks. In the second photo we are older in our thirties, working full time in jobs that some of us have been doing for some time and are considered senior staff with greater responsibilities, getting to the pub is becoming harder to achieve, and even if we had a night free to go to the pub we are all to weary and knackered to go. Some of us are married and some of us have kids and all of us have crushing debilitating mortgages causing grey hair, no hair and crushing central chest pain. But I'm sure none of us would change it for the world.
It is rather uncanny that these 2 photos are almost identical in their structure right down to the black tie and smiles, flicking through my old photo albums I have come across many photos of the boys that I will attempt to place on the blog for all to see. If any of you guys have any photos and reminiscent stories to accompany them please send them to me and I'll post them on the blog, I think they look great. Cheers Dazza.
