This is an article WHITHER UBIQUITY? that I was asked to write for Brian Keene's on-line magazine JOBS IN HELL in 1999:

I pick myself out from a panoramic school photo from 1962 here:

And from a photo with two others in Dagon in 1989:

Any memories from others?

I don't know if it's our ages, Des, but I find myself taking a trip down memory lane more and more nowadays too. The most obvious example is when ever I go back to the place of my upbringing (a "nowhere" town in the middle of Wiltshire) to visit my dad. I find myself literally walking round all my old haunts - the school, the park where I shared my first clumsy kiss, etc, etc. And I can "see" myself there, in my mind's eye, as clear as if it was only yesterday. It actually spooks me a little!

The opening chapters of REMEMBER YOU'RE A ONE-BALL by Quentin S Crisp are very good on the phenomenon described by Caroline, I seem to recall.

Watching the documentary about Slade last night - took me right back to school.

And seeing 1970s Panther sf books in second hand bookshops.
