It seems Facebook is actually a good way of keeping in touch with old friends. I asked the people who I used to go drinking with if they would like to meet up one afternoon for a few drinks as something close to a reunion of sorts. It's almost ten years since I met a girl and got married etc and drifted away from the gang. It's like I always said at the time whilst sat in a beer garden,"my mates are all well and good but you can't shag your mates". It was necessary to find a mate with whom another life form was to be created, along with a reason for self worth which I didn't have at the time. I did say that I wouldn't want to be sat with the same group of people at the same pub table in ten years time and didn't go down too well at that moment but now I hope they can see what I meant. I'm looking forward to seeing all these old faces together but grayer. It's bizarre that I am the instigator but there you go. We should maybe do this every couple of years.
