    Friends reunited- who's done it?

    After reading the new Ben Elton book (anyone else here read it?) I just had to have a look and see if anyone was on there from school, which I left about 4 years ago now I guess, and at least 3/4 of my school year were on there! I couldnt quite believe it!

    Anyway, this was a bit of a pointless thread really, but I was just wondering, has anyone used friends reunited to get in contact with old schoolfriends and that?

    All my year at school (from long before Friends Reunited) meet up at a certain pub every Christmas Eve. Last year I couldn't resist going to boast that I was the first in the year to get married, but this year I finally decided that there wasn't a great deal of point.

    Yep I use friends reunited. I moved from Leicestershire to Wales when I was aged 14 so reunited has come in handy to contact my old school mates and find out how they are all getting on.

    I'm registered there (Haven't updated it in ages though), and I've had a couple of e-mails from people I used to go to school with.

    I did see that one of the "Smart Alecs" listed himself as working as a Local Council maintenance operative. Later on, driving down a road, I saw him with a pick axe digging at tarmac! Local Council maintenance operative indeed, he's a flippin' road worker!!!

    Yeah i'm on it, contacted a couple of people from it. I'm not particularly bothered tbh, as my years at school were really crap. but it is funny to read what some people are doing now... (like the ones who you had an inkling swung the other way, and then they update their details and bam, they're getting engaged in NYC to their "life partner")
