The 10 most shameful photos of me on facebook

It's a good thing I've had a couple of beers, else there's no way that I'd do this top ten list. Prepare yourself, as these are seriously awful; but in a good way; I think.

Without any further stalling, here is a countdown of the ten most shameful pictures of me that I found on facebook (and I had 1,137 to go at), as well as the album they're from and my reasoning behind it. I'll give you a heads-up. Most of the time, the reason is "drunk". Double click pictures to enlarge.

10. Egypt flight

Album: Cairo 2008 - Flights via Zurich and the Hotel
Taken: February 2007 by Roz Steel
Explanation: On the way back from Egypt, Roz and I had 20 minutes or so of 'pull a silly face at the camera'. This is the worst. It ranks so low as it was borderline intentional.

9. Drink FAIL

Album: We hit 2,000,000!
Taken: July 2007 by Russ Anderson
Explanation: At lastminute.com, we hit two million, erm, somethings. I don't remember what it was, but there were two million of them. For this reason we had champagne. Champagne which I managed to spill all down myself, hence the picture.

8. Fish lips

Album: Marketing Merryment
Taken: December 2007 by Simon Wicks
Explanation: I have no idea what this night was, but considering it was in December, I can only presume it was a Christmas party, so I was subsequently drunk. That would make sense.

7. Drunk and explaining something. Probably

Album: Bowley's Birthday
Taken: August 2007 by Russ Anderson
Explanation: Alex Bowley turned another year older. We all went out for drinks at Garlic and Shots. No-one leaves Garlic and Shots in one piece. This photo is overwhelming proof of that.

6. New Years Eve goes wrong

Album: New Years Eve
Taken: January 2008 by Sarah Munden
Explanation: If you're going to play Circle of Death with people, don't get ganged up on. I got scuppered by four players, and after consuming most of a bottle of Havana Rum, I didn't make it to midnight. In fact I didn't make it to 9:45pm. This is what happens when you're dragged up at midnight, even though I still have no recollection of it happening.

5. Drunk. End of.

Album: More lastminute.com merriment
Taken: September 2007 by Mark Bowerman
Explanation: Drunk. Plain and simple

4. Special needs singing

Album: Beach BBQ
Taken: June 2007 by Emmanuelle Clermont
Explanation: Manue hosting a beach theme party in the summer of '07. I ended up cooking on the BBQ all day. Despite doing all that, she still posted this truly horrendous picture of a few of us. We felt very special that day, and not in the good way.

3 Big fat baby

Album: Beach BBQ
Taken: June 2007 by Ian Whitehead
Explanation: I was a chunky baby. You can't mock a baby though. It's just not proper.

2. I know nothing

Album: Tech Summer party
Taken: July 2007 by Russ Anderson
Explanation: I vaguely remember this party. There was free food that was gone before the plates had even hit the table, and a free bar that resulted in me falling asleep in a bar. Somewhere in between the getting there and falling asleep I managed to sprout eight chins. Epic.

1. Blond bombshell

Album: Poker Night
Taken: April 2007 by Me
Explanation: Why I chose to upload this is beyond me. For a long time, I had bright blond hair. I say blond, but it went neon orange for a long time. In hindsight, it was both awesome and awful. Growing a uncoordinated goatee and pulling ridiculous faces probably didn't help the look though.
