    Where was the personal attack :confused:

    Saying someone is broke living with Mammy etc could be construed that way.

    If it wasn't my bad I can take things the wrong way and be a bit abrasive; it's very late and I've had a few also.

    It's late, I'm tired and I might be susceptible to fatigue-related confusion anyway, but what the **** is going on?

    I finished school 20 years ago, couldn't give a monkeys what any of them are doing to be honest:D

    Similar response;

    many of the more serious types from school have gone on and followed the usual formula; Uni degree, followed by a few years of internships and working their way up in a career with the big tech/marketing/finance companies.

    Others are (as predicted) still work-shy, can be found wandering around the hometown aimlessly, drinking their dole money.

    Whatever about big personality changes - you can more or less tell from 2nd level which general path they're going to take.

    That said, there are a few dark horses. One guy in particular, not a peep from him through 5 years of school, not out-going at all - turning down a lot of opportunities to socialize and stayed nearly invisible for his time there,

    is now extremely charismatic and doing well for himself in a PR role.

    One lad who I went to school and myself used to thump the heads off each other every time we even looked at each other. We never got on at all. Met him about 2 years after we finished and we called it quits and now we actually get on very well whenever we meet each other

    He's just lulling you into a false sense of security, then one day when your guard's down you'll get the mother of all wedgies while his mates film it on their camera phones. I recommend that next time you see him get him in a headlock.

    Actually, if typing in caps represents shouting, then maybe writing in bold could represent drunk posting. It would be good if that caught on.

    You're talking about yourself, aren't you?:P

    I haven't met anyone from school since I left school. Didn't socialise in the town I went to school in and so haven't kept in contact with anyone.

    I find my friends are pretty much in 3 categorys,
    have matured at the same level as me from school, as in we have our lifes but we see each regularly for soccer when we go out.
    Then we have the guys who got girl friends and well Id say one was my best friend, but I hardly see the lad or text/talk to him.
    Then the other group who want to be more advanced in life and all they want is a girlfriend/wife/kids and think that will make them happy, but these guys Id still be in touch with often enough unlike the second group.

    Regarding people I knew in school well most of them matured and Id talk to them but I wouldnt really have anything to do with them outside of chit chat.
    And well some are still complete tools, who still live life as if they are in third year or think they are God regarding rugby/gaa abilities of past/present

    Due to surface tension??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,052 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    I find some of the people who were in my class and who then went to college and got work elsewhere act like total snobs when they would be out in the pubs around xmas when they come back home to the sticks.

    I'd be pals with the few that stayed local but it's ofton like talking to a stranger when I meet someone I might not have seen since we did the Leaving Cert.


    Personally most of my friends these days would be the people I have worked with over the years.

    Me, nah, haven't done anything overly interesting (so far). :)

    I have no interest in seeing any of them; I had no time for the cliques and bullying that went on, or the crocodile tears from the chief bully at the funeral of one of his victims who took his own life at 18 years of age. The past is a foreign country, and I've worked hard over the years to keep it that way.

    Oh yeah,


    I just noticed that myself now. Fu*kin hell, only took me 15 years to cop that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,499 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    Most have matured to some degree, all good people for the most part though. I find it awkward at times like Christmas when I run into people who I'm no longer in regular contact with. After we've exchanged pleasantries I've nothing to say to them, I just try and get away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,408 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    I've only seen a few guys from school. One is a lecturer in Galway. One is a religion teacher. One is a FF councillor.
