BFTD Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Might be handy for rounding them all up into one place, I suppose. Must remember to take Grimbo along as my +1 for advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I only left school last year and I can think of very few people I haven't kept in contact with who I'd like to see again. That may well change as a I get old and nostalgic. But for now I'll say yes, a complete waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chlamydia Kid Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Don't leave the scheme you were brought up in and have an informal school reunion every time you leave the house- problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I don't keep in touch with a single person from school. I might think about heading to a reunion if it was on but it's not something I'd be gutted to miss out on. As far as school crushes go, twice recently I've been out and girls who never gave me the time of day in school were all over me. Both were single mums who'd rather lost their looks. The desperation was palpable, was totally depressing to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweaty Morph Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I've bumped a couple of invites to reunions in the past, I don't see the point. My group of close friends is the same group I was pally with at school, I haven't kept in touch with the rest of my former classmates for a reason. A couple have even tried to add me on social media but again, I don't see the point in being online 'friends' with someone I didn't have much to do with at school.

Hillonearth Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I imagine most people will have kept in touch with the people from school they want to, so what's the point with getting together with the ones you didn't know, can't remember or perhaps actively disliked? Reckon a good bit of the motivation for getting these things together is to see who's "made it" and who hasn't, along with an element of schadenfreude to see for example the best footballer in the school as a baldy borderline alky or the lassie everybody fancied looking like shit after having four kids.

Mortar Bored Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Benny kinda fell away from the group, which was sad as he was nae bad at pick pocketing. Danny was a little strange, ended up in a Njord situation, although Njord survived sleeping in a car. I've no regrets other than not eating enough chips.

WaffenThinMint Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Got a ride after a school reunion, Gripper Stebson always was a bully. Met Zammo and he was clean, which was nice. May attend the next one. Mark Savage (Gripper Stebson) went on to be a campaigner for the homeless as well as a regular on the theatre "luvvie" circuit. Michael Cronin (your avatar) still turns up on TV inbetween adapting books for screenplays & writing children's novels - he's probably best remembered now for playing the dodgy historian Geoffrey of Monmouth in "Merlin". The greatest of them all however was the late Michael Sheard (Mr Bronson), who turned up in just about everything in the 70s & 80s on the silver screen or TV & wrote three brilliantly funny memoirs about his career & the nutcases he encountered on & off set. Top man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I dingied my school reunion a year or so ago because, well, f**k them. If I had interest in keeping in touch with them I would keep in touch (and I was in London)One of the lassies who went txted my sister to get my number and phoned me up and passed the phone round everyone there so they could all drunkenly say hello and, obviously, they all asked the same questions and said the same shite over and over again. Then they started singing.That was a good twenty minutes of hatred from my end. Imagine spending the night with these fucking loonballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 We had an unofficial one a few years ago. A Greenock DJ had an 80s night for folk who ever went to the (now demolished) Rankin Park Club. Through social media a number of us realised we were going and agreed to meet before it (and got a few more bodies interested). The chat in the pub was pretty good, although it mainly centred around those who had died (mostly through misadventure, sadly). Once at the 80s do the chat died as we couldn't hear each other. The DJ had these nights more often, but it got to the point that they were so frequent that they ceased to be a novelty. Next year will mark 30 years since the last of us left school - I'm hoping those of us still alive and in the country can arrange something.

KnightswoodBear Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I'm still friends with all the people I went to school with that I want to be. I'd have no interest in any kind of reunion with the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
