Friends reunited
lee celtic:
My bast mate from school is still my best mate even though we still only see each other every other year if that :lol:
but every time it's like yesterday and we just take up where we left off :D
I get the odd message off facebook , the other day I got a friend request from a guy I went to school with only to find he's married an ex girl friend of mine
glad shes happy as I dumped her for a better model when I moved to wales ...
still 20 years on I'm still with her so the choice was the right one ;)

My days at school were not the 'best days of my life' as is often said by whimsical writers! :roll:
It was a school that was very much geared towards 'Oxbridge' then office or city based jobs. I wanted careers advice on being a boat builder, and all I got was the offer of work experience in a solicitors office. That really helped with my life!
I don't honestly think that I would have anything in common with most of the people I knew anyway. I did have a look at some of the profiles of the guys in my class, and I was not surprised to see that virtually all of them had stayed within a 20 mile radius of the town we were in, living average lives, with average wives, 2.5 kids, a rep wagon on the drive etc etc etc.
Don't get me wrong, that is their choice and if they are happy with that, good luck to them.
The other problem is that with the job that I do, people will say one of the following phrases:
1)"Oh really? I must go now"
2)"have you been in lots of chases. I bet thats why you do it"
3)"'a friend' got caught speeding, and how would this friend get off it?"
4) "I bet you only put the lights on when you are going back for dinner"
Hence no school reunions for me, as the use of the phrase "<edit> off!" tends to offend!
I'll stick with friends I've made through my life. They know me and how I think.

Same here, but it's perhaps 6 times a year, & we've known each other since our first day at nursery (we're both now 42)

Yep!
We'll sometimes carry on with the previous conversation, if it got interrupted, before we parted
