Is Shane gay?

Yeah this thread is totally fucked, but I'm glad to see things are taking a prettier turn!

Rad photo's Neil, i'll get that adress to you soon!

You heard the man, folks. Off to the Anything Else Section. And I'll try and make them bigger like he says. How many can I put up, Dave? (Send us an answer via private message, please mate). I'll put up the ones shown and a few more, and put the text in as well. But remember, they don't work as well as the final overlaid image. (See previous posts for explanation).

Since some of us are doing it, I'll post a cutla of my photos...
I wish I had the expense to travel like Neil. After all this build up, his images certainly lived up to the hype.

Here's some of my garb:

YOUR TYPICAL BTEC BOLLOCKS...but some may go for it. It's all cock and balls to me. Judge eitherway.

[neil2445]

Expense? You mean jetting about the place? I was a labourer on a building site with a months wages in my back pocket from filling skips with shit. You'll notice a lot of my images are in Winter, when there'sa no building work on (I'm a bricky now). You've just got to thumb a lift to where the shit is... I thumbed a van travelling down to London from Trowell (M1 J 25/216) Services, and just walked to where the helicopters were hovering above the May Day protesters in London. The Met hospitalised me that day.
Another method I've used was to join the TA. They'll pay you to go to hell holes, and you get great mates out of it. Total headers, a lot of them.
But no sweat, mate. The more pics you take, the better you'll be. I like the dart board and drinks trolley thing, by the way.

[fatself]

Cheers pally.
Not sure about the TA's, though...aint no good at scraping my knee. Only joshing- I do odd jobs. Bits and bobs. Still aint enough to get me about Europe...not in this day and age.

Eitherway...did you get in contact with Gavin Watson like I requested?

[neil2445]

No. You said he was in his nineties. Or he did, on his site. I'm not having that.

[fatself]

He's joking. He's in his early 40s.

[neil2445]

It's too late. The magic is lost.

[neil2445]

Can anyone think of anywhere I can offer it up? Magazines, websites? Prominent people who can spare an hour? Old photographers who took a few pics of skinheads thirty years ago?

[jim woolley]

Have you got any photos of around Notts/Derbys? Have you ever read Left Lion, a Nottingham newspaper? That's a good read sometimes, I don't see why they couldn't interview you and do a feature on the photos.

Vice Magazine - I think that's a good bet.

I used to catch the bus to college from Uttoxeter to Burton and we used to pick up men from sudbury prison who were on day release. One of them read my palm, one used to sneak me meat at luchtime when I was pretending to be a veggie (although paddy was my main sidekick in that scam), and one threatened to kill me for being noisy on the bus and then let me off because I went so pale!

One of my periods of internment in Sudbury was in the early 90's and seem to remember a young lad called Patrick who's palm I read, small world heh?

I recently absconded and tried to make my way to Ashbourne and hid out behind what I thought was a disused pub, but the game was up when a bloke who was the spitting image of Roy Wood chased me off, so I made my way back before the screws found out I was missing.
