Unflattering photos of your good self!

[Rubella]

We've had people posting some flattering and some not so flattering pics of themselves in the other thread and now I think we really need to start adding up some of our most awful photos of ourselves.  I know I started this thread on the old florum but it was popular and I am sure you have all had time to gather more unflattering pics.  I know I have.......



Please note I wasnt actually attempting to look like a gom, it was taken when I was unaware and I am frightened that I can pull this face naturally and without realising.  Still want to ride me like a pony now, eh?

Edit to add that I dont have a spot in that picture, I had actually managed to open the fridge door into my face.

[Totem Hokum]

Ah, what the hell. I barely know most of you anyway:



...as you can see, I work in a call centre.

[Pseudopath]

Wow! You look like a thin version of my girlfriend (although you are of course attractive in your own special way).

I've been out with so many red heads that my friends call me Ginger's List.

EDIT: Totem Hokum: You are Joe Pasquale and I claim my £5.

[buttgammon]

The worst thing about it is the fact that I took it myself and it's still extremely unflattering. And it makes me look like a lunatic.

You lucky, lucky bastard. That is all.

[Pseudopath]

You lucky, lucky bastard. That is all.

Thank you. But the credit should go to all of those lovely, lovely red-haired ladies for having such low standards. I'll try and fish out an unflattering photo to demonstrate shortly.

Unlike my last "unflattering" picture, the aim wasn't for this to be quite as ugly as it turned out to be.  This picture has also never been shown anywhere, not even to my family, until now:



In my defence, I'd just been on a knackering mountain walk with a full back-pack, the sun was in my eyes, and I was wearing that ludicrous floppy hat to try and stop myself from getting sunburn again.  But still, it's not a proud moment of mine.

And Rubella, you don't look that bad in that photo, your mouth is just in a wonky position.  That's surely not the worst you can do.

[no_offenc]

There've been fucking countless photos of me playing drums where I've managed to look like an absolute cock, usually because their camera is crap and I end up with red eyes, or the flash goes off and illuminates my annoyingly large forehead (more like five-head, eh, guys and gals?), or I'm halfway through exhaling and they catch me looking like a gormless overweight mouthbreathing cunt.  Which I probably am, though I like to pretend I am not.

Thankfully I can't find any of them.  However, you can rest assured I will continue to embarrass myself should I manage to dig any out.

What's a 'gom'? I took this myself, suffice to say I don't look like that normally, normally I look worse.

[Pseudopath]

What's a 'gom'?

An Irish expression for 'fool' or 'stupid person', e.g; "Stop acting the gom and help me bury these explosives"

Strictly speaking, Rubella should have used the feminine form 'gombeen', but who's keeping score anyway?

Still holds true for me.  If I'm being honest, half heartedly gurning and having a grand total of one spot doesn't make an unflattering pic.

If you want to see a really ugly mug, go here (I'm one of the members, you'll have to try and guess which one coz I'm not saying, but it probably doesn't take a lot of detective work).

[El Unicornio, mang]

I got about 15 pictures back from a show I did a couple of weeks ago and I had a double chin in ALL OF THEM.

[chand]

Manboobs, unshaven but not in that sexy way or in that cool beardy way, and dandruff for the triple whammy.

[Al Tha Funkee Homosapien]

and wearing a comedy wig.

[Huzzie]

and wearing a comedy wig.

And being invisible to boot!!

At least to me. Why I no see?

EDIT: Bugger. It's there now. Sorry for accusing you of being invisible Chand. I've seen that pic before, haven't I?

[chand]

Yeah, I've posted it before on here. Oh for the days when I didn't have a proper job and didn't have to worry about things like cutting or indeed washing my hair.

[Small Man Big Horse]

This is another in my collection of bad photos. I have too many, I've got to dig out some vagulely okay ones someday soon just to prove they exist. Anyhoo, I see your double chin Unicornio, and raise you the beginning of a third.



It's probably the most unflattering pic I have thankfully, and if you catch me at the right angle these days it looks like I have just the one chinny chin chin. Sometimes.

Edit: Yeah, I know there's no excuse for that shirt in this day and age, but sod it, I've had it for a long time and we've shared many many happy moments.

Albert Reynolds isn't a woman though...

Beat this:

[Neville Chamberlain]

Well I think you look lovely and I want to protect you.

[Pseudopath]

I'm obviously taking out of my derrière. Sorry. 'Gom' is simply short for 'gombeen'. I was thinking of another Gaelic insult which changes depending on whether you're addressing a man or a woman.

Or was it a French insult? Ah, sod it.

'Gombeen' seems to be a word for a money lender or a little bit of something (I guess the connection is the 'little bit' on top you pay for borrowing money). It gets into Medieval Latin from Celtic as 'Cambium' meaning an exchange, and from there gets onto foreign high streets as 'Cambio', meaning a small booth used for money laundering by Albert Reynolds. Come and get your 1p then, Changeman. 

[The Duck Man]

Don't believe him Rubella, he did fuck all for Poland.

[Neville Chamberlain]

Look, when I signed The Munich Agreement, how the fuck was I to know Hitler would then go off and annex Sudetenland and then invade Czechoslovakia?!? Not my bloody fault, you lying git. Appeasement my arse.

[rudi]

The plans were written on the back of that piece of paper you Gom...

[Neville Chamberlain]

Well I didn't read the whole thing. It was just too long and boring.

[The Duck Man]

Look, when I signed The Munich Agreement, how the fuck was I to know Hitler would then go off and annex Sudetenland and then invade Czechoslovakia?!?

Well, there was some clue - he'd already invaded the Sudetenland by that point, you useless arse. You just thought the Munich Agreement was just a nice chin-wag over tea, didn't you? YOU MAKE ME SICK, CHAMBERLAIN.

[Neville Chamberlain]

You just thought the Munich Agreement was just a nice chin-wag over tea, didn't you?

As a matter of fact, it was! Whatever people say about Hitler, he does do a good line in custard creams.

[Lookalike Mark Chapman]

I'm still looking for a flattering photo of myself. Seriously, I always end up looking like a German paedophile in photos, possibly due to a curse, or because that's what I look like.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Similarly, my photos are moderately flattering digitalisations of what I actually look like.
