School Reunion

iguana

It's been 10 years since I left school and if this were America I'd be having a school re-union this year. I'm just curious as to whether anyone here has ever gone to one.

Would you go if your school had one. And what would make you want to go or not go? I'd probably go, it would be fairly interesting to see what other people are up to now. But maybe part of that is because I feel that for the most part my life is going well, and if my life wasn't good right now I would hate the thought of one.

It would probably bring back some memories alright. That said a lot of us left with very sour relationships so I wouldn't fancy it.

God no. I wouldn't go if they paid me!

I hated school and the people involved! I stayed friends with anyone I thought was worthwhile. Not interested in how evryone else is doing. Also,I reckon it'd be depressing to realise I was one of the only people who didn't have a 10 year old child.

I personally can't think of a more nightmarish situation than a school reunion. Except maybe being stuck in a cage with Marty Whelan.

when my school opened there were only three years in it. 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
there was 60 something people in my year and we all come from a fairly small town. (ok, Leixlip is big enough by Irish standards, but the parish of Confey is quite small). everyone knows everyone else and it's not too hard to find out what others are up to, so i don't think there is really a need for a reunion. besides, most of my year still live locally. those who don't regularly make their way back here and i see them in my local or one of the other pubs in Leixlip. or one of them rings me to do a job or various other means of bumping into people.
there are a couple of people i would like to talk to that i haven't seen in years, but i couldn't be bothered looking them up. there is a good chance they use boards too, but probably not AH, where i spend most of my time.


hi! I'm Terry. the dick who disrupted classes all the time and was thrown out in third year.

Yeah but what if John Cusak was going to show up and kill a guy in the hallway with a pen you had just given him?

Well, if you are going to arrange for that, coupled with the "Marty Whelan in a cage" fantasy mentioned earlier, and some decent cocktail sausages you might just have a part-ay on your hands.

Are we talking primary or secondary?
I don't think I'd go to one.

Make it Arnold Schwarzenegger with some witty remark like "BULLSEYE" after throwing the pen from 100 yards into someones eye. I'd go then.

I'd go to rub in my wealth and wife in the form of Elisha Cuthbert

Had my 10 year secondary school reunion last month. Was dreading it a bit as I was a lil embarassed to be saying I was still in college. (yea for PhDs! ) Anyway in the end enjoyed it a lot. Was good to catch up with people I hadn't seen in a while and swap stories, etc. Also good to see some guys balding quicker than me.

I enjoyed my time in school so it wasn't a prob seeing the guys again. But I can imagine if you hated school or were picked on loads you wouldn't be so keen to go.

eamoss

Only just left school but afaik my school has a reunion every 10 years. Shud be good to see how everyone has got on. Now all I have to wait is 10 years :rolleyes:

That would be the main reason I would turn up.

It will be a few years before mine comes up, and even though I didn't like school, I probably will go and see how others in my class are getting on. Pure curiosity really.

Im not long finished, but I still keep in contact with lots of themm since a lot of us went to UCD. Id love a reunion, it would be amazing to meet people who Ive lost touch with and see what theyre upto now.

One thing Ive always wanted is to have a reunion with people who share the exact same birthday as me. I already know one of them and he happens to be one of my best friends which is odd.

The morning of the 4th September 1985, anyone??

That is interesting. In my class, there were two others sharing my birthdate. One is dead now and the other...well he is an addict.


Not a lucky date on which to be born!

Two people in my class shared my birth date and I wanted it all to myself, why couldn't they have waited!
