The Bag I'm in by Sam Knee

Posting this again as despite posting it before it seems to have got lost in the ether, probably by my clumsiness or incompetence.

I was surprised to learn a while backthat an embarrassing picture of me taken years ago turned up in a book. A book on youth culture of all things. The book is called The Bag I’m In by Sam Knee.

I have no idea how Sam Knee saw the picture or why he decided to use it but it was taken by a friend named Steve Lily. I’m guessing it’s the perfect example of what not to look like. I remember it being taken vividly though. It was a skate spot in Harrow known as the Flower Pot and I was not a happy camper.  Thing was I’d taken a huge chip out of the deck I was riding at the the time. I bloody loved that Sims Mike Folmer too.

It’s surprising what comes back from the past to haunt you isn’t it. Just look at that barnet though, what was I thinking?.
