Choggy Photo Gallery

Below are just a few shots to show you who I am and what I'm about. If you're looking for the recent photos I've taken, they're all here

This is one of the first photos I ever got of my girlfriend, Sarah (left) and I together. We'd been to a club "and I'm sorry to say, we were ve'y, ve'y drunk" and the film needed using up and so while we were standing in a queue for the taxis, Sarah held the camera out, pointed it towards us and clicked. Considering the circumstances, we're both stunned that the photo worked at all! When my sister saw this photo she described my expression as one of "cat-like contentment mixed with a little lust"

Here we see photographic evidence that my family and I enjoy a drink or two! From the left, there's my Sister (Gen), Dad (John), Bestest friend Pippa, myself and Pip's hubby, Mark. This photo was taken by Sarah on New Year's Eve 2000 and the red noses are down to it being rather cold outside, and not to the consumption of large amounts of alcohol.... honest!

And here are some of my friends from Brighton. From the left, there's Julie, her partner Jen, Simona, myself and Sarah.

Yes, that is me dressed up as a monk. There's a reason behind the costume, of course - I was at a Live Role Playing event during August 2001, called Renewal. It was my first LRP event, but I'm already looking forward to Renewal 2001. My character is a rather naive Monk called Ronan. And that's Rochester on Ronan's left (aka Glenys). Sarah, however is a bit of an LRP master, as you'll see from her site

In '93, another friend, Amanda, and I graduated from University and this picture commemorates the event. L-R there's Amanda's parents, Stephanie and Pietro, Amanda Romerio, my Dad, John (with his eyes closed... I don't have one photo of this event where everyone has their eyes open!), me and my Mum, Margaret.

Human's don't own cats, cats own their humans, and this one owned me. We had her since she was very little and it's all my sister's fault that the poor mog ended up with the name Teapot. Her favourite hang out used to be the swamp near Bidston railway station and she'd give you a look that'd curdle milk unless you tickled her tummy often enough. Mum used to call Teaps the "Bag Lady" (which I always thought was very unfair!). This photo was actually taken by Pippa. We've not seen Teapot for months now, and although she did have a habit of disappearing for months on end when she was in a sulk, it's been so long that we can only conclude that she's either gone to the great swamp in the sky or has found a nice little old lady with an endless supply of tuna and has officially moved out. I'm hoping for the latter :(
