    Fellow Boardsies I'm only out of School three years but have any of you been to class reunuions, partys etc where you meet up with old class mates. Did you have good memories, was the class gob****e changed, the girl/boy that wasn't good looking in your opinion at the time a Riode now :D. Any funny stories/ experiences. Someone mentioned this topic and I can't imagine what mine would be like :) any good stories ?

    After a break of a few years, you'll find that half your class have turned into tubs & the other half live lives that are as boring as wall tiles.

    I thought that kind of thing only happened in American movies

    Went to a primary school reunion, it wasn't for a specific year, just a general one to celebrate the school being open so long.
    It was nice meeting all the teachers again, met a few of my old classmates. Seeing a photo of you and not recognizing yourself is a bit embarrassing though!

    I didn't make it to my 10th year anniversary of leaving secondary school but from what I heard it was the same old same old.

    Went to one before. Despite my misgivings it was a laugh.

    I heard that one was being organised via FB for my year; it spurred me on to finally delete my account

    Not really, in American movies you usually have a hot tub party with all the chicks who now look like Swedish models

    Which side of the class did you fall on?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,024 ✭✭✭shannon_tek


    I'd never go back to mine. I finished school and left them for a reason.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,756 ✭✭✭InkSlinger67


    I would avoid them OP. It's kinda sad to see a few people you used to look up to back then who haven't mentally grown a day since

    disappointment all round: they're devastated you're not the fun loving guy you used to be and you're just disappointed at how childish they still are :(

    Having went to school in a small town, all I have to do is go home for a weekend, go to the one nightclub in the place and watch a sizeable amount of my year live lives I could only have nightmares about.

    I'd only go to a reunion of my 5th class group in primary school. Only because I might run into Stephen O'Conner who cheated me out of a gold medal in the obstacle race during the school sports day.


    Picture the scene:

    Sunny day. Everyone cheering, screaming and/or crying. I'd started the race well and I was winning. Absolutely killed it on the tyre and hula hoop sections and I was starting my crawl under the tarpaulin bit when this hand grabbed my leg and yanked me back. It was Stephen O'Conner's hand. My leg ended up getting caught in this string stuff on the edge of the tarpaulin and it took me at least a minute to free myself...and everyone knows that a minute in an obstacle race is like an hour in real life. Obviously I ended up coming last. Even Eoin Kennedy who was at least 13 stone at the time came ahead of me.


    Some people who witnessed this said I cried like a girl at the end. To this day I categorically deny those claims. My eyes had obviously reacted to the chemicals off the tarpaulin.

    Stone Roses reunion is going to be class.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,662 ✭✭✭RMD


    The school I went to runs them every 10 years. Can't wait for them, I had a great time with my year and do enjoy seeing them again, always good to go on the piss with people you haven't seen in years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag


    My school never did reunions thankfully, wouldnt have gone if they did.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,243 ✭✭✭LighterGuy


    I actually attended my ten year class reunion a while ago.

    I wasnt planning on going to it. But I had a job in the place I was from. My secretary suggested I go, so I went.
    I hadnt been home in years. It really changed. Years ago I suddenly left it towards the end of my secondary school years and joined the army. A total random choice. Then fell into "contract work" after my service ... it was good seeing my high school sweet heart again, we picked up where we left off.

    It was weird tho, the job i had to do involved my sweet hearts dad. But I suddenly had a change of conscience. So I couldnt do it.

    Looking back, its a funny story. Someone should make a movie about it.

    No I spoke to everyone and sat my 11 year sentence. Just got sick of the same.

    I'd rather chew my own scrotum off than meet half the dawheads I went to school with again.

    My school dont do it as far as I know, but if they did I wouldnt go. Im still good friends with the people that I liked out of school, and dont hang out with the others for a reason.

    That said, with facebook now you kinda know what everyones getting up to etc anyway so defeats the point of a reunion really.

    "Well Hello Mr McCarthy :cool:"

    "Is that a plunger stuck on your head?"

    :mad:

    You can reach your scrotum with your mouth? You are one lucky baastard.

    I'd never go back to mine either. I don't see the point :pac:

    No, I will not be attending any re union.
    All the lads you spent your youth trying to get them to drink have now turned into raging alcoholics.
    All the good looking girls have turned into middle aged women, barley a MILF between them.
    I would probably get into a fight with an old school buddy of mine for the time I slept with his girlfriend and nearly got her pregnant. I didn’t know she was going out with him for a week at the time and when I tried to explain to him in the local disco, he went for me with a chair but missed and knocked out a girl who was with a load of lads form another village. They then bet the S**it out of him, so best me stay away from him.

    How do you nearly get someone pregnant?

    She thought it were me but turned out to be someone else she was with that weekend.

    Do what I did. Grow a beard, claim to be some other dickhead who didn't show up and tell everyone you're addicted to masturbation, going to the toilet every ten minutes.
