OK time has come to “out” myself. This is me in my first and only year at the now demolished “Merry Oak Secondary School” Yes I’m the one in short trousers in the front row…a good looking 12 year old. ![](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/6/f/6f105ab00f660ab416a0ebc4ab720241fd963692.jpeg) ## This is just one section of a very large panoramic picture of the whole school. ---

**This news just in…Operation CEOP now monitoring [Sotonians.com](http://Sotonians.com) after AI 'bots discover conversation about good looking 12-year olds.** Whilst I should be able to identify you immediately as _the good looking 12-year old with shorts in the front row_, to my mind looks are somewhat subjective and objectively most of them are wearing shorts. Can you narrow it down a bit, 'slowlane? Did you know the one with his tongue out? ---

Funny, but after having met John the once, I picked him out straight away. Never seen his legs before either! ---

No man nor woman should be judged on fashion debacles of previous decades… And if you are still going around dressed as you were in 1975 then you deserve to be judged! ---

I’ll bring her to the next drinks, or failing that, Villa. You can ask her yourself. She works as a teaching assistant now, specialising in naughty kids, apt as she was one herself. One of my favourite stories involves an incident where one of the kids in her charge called another “a fat fucking cunt”. “Oi! I don’t like that word!” “What, cunt?” “No, fat” She’s a legend. I look forward to you receiving a response on your parachute enquiry. ---

She didn’t have a mullet hair cut. I don’t think this is the best photo from that trip of you and your mullet Pap. ---

I was born in 1975 so probably best I don’t wear the same outfits as a baby. But I do love vintage clothing and have no issue with a adult sized dress from 1975. ---
