It must be said that I don't think anyone was happy with the way they looked in that photo; Zereil, I am sure, will be ohrrified to see that I posted it?
Study buddies? Well, I was still at school at the time but only in the very technical sense; most of the others had moved onto Uni by then but not Ben, who was in the year I moved down to, not little genius Joe in the front, of course, and not my brother on the far right who was just polishing off his Masters at the time, I think.
I swear I look marginally better now and have better dress sense. That was not however a jacket but rather just a long sleeve black shirt with the cuffs folded up. Oh dear the past seems to be creeping up on us...we werent built for this...Although I must ask is this how you imagied us to have been even if that was 5 years ago.
