I just wondered if anyone has had any interesting or amusing experiences contacting old schoolmates on Friends Reunited(FR). A good friend of mind met up again with her childhood sweetheart via FR (one was single, one was divorced, by the way), and they have now been together for three years.
I haven't met anyone, but one thing I have noticed is how many of my old schoolmates have put nicknmes that I can't remember them having, much less insulting names than they actually had. What you might call a sanitisation process!
Just in case anyone hasn't seen it, I'll reproduce the link Fred Flintstone gave us last year for the memorable FR posting that ground the whole site to a halt before it was pulled.

A friend from school days who I had lost touch with, last heard of he was working in London. He contacted me, turns out that he lived literally within 1 mile from me. Strangly enough I had lived in several NE towns over the last 20 years and unknowingly he had been living in the exact same towns at roughly same time as me. Spooky or what

I've simply found it a great way to find out what people are up to. I have however met up with an old friend from high school, she still lives in my home town and we got to speaking on MSN. Shes now married with 2 kids! Mad!
My half brother contacted me via FR. We had met once when I was in my early 20's and that was that.
Then he found me again, some 10 years later, on FR, the week I decided to leave my husband. Bro was asking if there was anything he could do for me, as he was out of work and seriously bored.
Instant big brother, just when I needed one. As he'd say... "Marv."
my best friend at 8 years old...emailed me last year....
boy had he grown....
Yeah, I've also looked up people I remember from the past to sneak a look at what they're up to now, without seriously intending to get in touch. I'm too stingy to pay the money to register for email address access anyway.

I went to school in New zealand (Glenfield College intermediary) with Rachel Hunter in 1981, do you think she's interested in contacting all her old school mates??????????????is she chuff the smug bitch, whats more, she was a bit of a moose too as all the lads fancied Nichola Gould and NOT Rachel Hunter, mind that was because Nichola did let anyone put his (or her) hand down her pants. Oh and Rachel if you are reading, you were shit at French. You didnt mention that to Parky did you!!
