This is me and Nelson Piperedes. I'm sure that's not how you spelled his name. I had such the hots for that guy. I was quite a bit bummed when I found out at The Cramps concert at Loughborough University that he was gay.
This is me popping out from behind Troll. HEY! That's my Grandad's coat I've got on there. Anyway, I think this was at Troll's party the day we moved house. He said "DON'T eat the jelly beans!" to me. So I didn't. I had no idea why he said not to. Now I do, of course, but I was quite innocent then, which was amazing considering the people I hung out with. Anyway, Troll (Simon) was really nice. I liked him. If I remember correctly, he was married to a short plump woman who looked totally normal and who stayed at home in the evenings and never went out with him to his crazy parties or to the pub or whatever. She was just this ordinary lady married to this very tall odd gentleman. They seemed quite happy. Go figure.
Later on that evening after the party someone gave me a lift home because I'd missed the last bus. Only because we'd just moved house that day I hadn't memorized my address and I forgot where the house was and there were no cell phones in those days. So we had to find a telephone box (yes, it was one of those red ones that always smelled of pee and you were afraid to put the receiver too close to your ear) and I called my parents and found out our address. Luckily the chap who was giving me a lift knew vaguely where the road was and we just kind of followed our noses to my new house. It was a weird experience.
Sorry, that's all there is. I do have some more less-fuzzy-more-funky ones of me SOMEWHERE but I can't remember where. No, I didn't lose them deliberately. =Þ

My dear, it would appear that you lead a very interesting life back in the day!
Yeah, my life's been pretty dang "interesting". =D
Makes me wonder what the heck happened to some of the "interesting" people I hung out with. I hope they're sorted out and happy.
Must be an Engligh thing .. As I've NO idea who that guy was..... funny pictures though! :)
Oh, he wasn't famous, he was just this guy that lived in Loughborough just down the road from me. I suppose he looks like he should be famous though, doesn't he?
Last I heard he joined some strange religious cult....which is probably the same thing he's thinking about me ha! =D
Wow! You could have gone to my high school. We were art students, so half the kids I knew had that look! :o)
So glad you enjoyed my son's video!
Peace and Laughter,
Cristina
Ha! Yes, now that I think about it, there were a lot of art students mixed in with that odd group. =) So...did you look like that then? Where are your funky pictures? =)
You're welcome - your son's video was brilliant. =)
I don't know who you are, and I'm certain we've never met, but to find photos of Nelson and Troll on the web after all these years...
Troll was a lovely bloke. Had a brother called Dermot. As for Nelson, I never remember him looking like that because I met him when he was all Sigue Sigue Sputnik and wore a skirt & stuff.
