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.

Hiya Mike smile
Well only been on there a couple of times looking for a friend of mine from years ago but still no luck - she seems to have disapeared off the face of the earth :cry:
My best friend however met her partner there - a guy who fell for her when she was at school, aged 14, and when he saw her on there got his daughter to email her and 3 years later really happy couple.......... she can't remember him from school however lol

Fan-bloody-tastic!! lol :lol:
I've had a couple of contacts via FR and one person in particula, from my year, has stayed in touch. It's most weird to have someone in my life whom I've known since I was 11. My family moved around so much as my dad was in the forces.
:P
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."
Just looked at Fred Flinstone's posting - she seems a little p***ed off but still comes across as a very articulate lady that I wouldn't want to meet on a dark night.. or perhaps..
I used FR a few years back - caught up with a few people and attended a reunion - met one bloke that is now a women (brave bugger confused everyone initially as we couldn't put a face to the name etc). The hooligans all seem to have calmed down and had wives and babies and even one girl that absolutely was Vicky Pollard (Little Britain - "Yeah but.. no but.. that Candice is a slag right...") seemed the have got rid of the frizzed out perm and shell suit a long time ago... one girl came onto me but freaked when I said I was bi.. still, my response of 'you used to be good looking... ' probably didn't help :shock:
Fun place but much prefer SH smile
Baz found an old school friend on FR, and strangely enough he lived in singapore which is where we were going to on the way to Australia surprised so we met up with him and he did a guided tour , and have kept in touch ever since :o
Friends Reunited... Abolsutely fantastic!!! biggrin
I was adopted as a baby, but knowing my mothers name, age and with a good guess, I managed to find her on there and contacted her. It took me all of a couple of hours and was the best thing I ever did.
However, I did also manage to find my biological father after getting his name from my mum, tried contacting him and he simply removed himself from the website. sad Ah well.. apparently he was a tosser anyway lol
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.

Ive had loads of contact from old schoolfriends thru that site....trouble is, they all know me as Squelch, which was my nickname for too many years....all started cos I was a chubby ickle thing and the boys liked to squeeze past me to get a feel of my boobs...i was the only one in my junior school to wear a bra...now every time another one crawls out the woodwork I have to remind them of my real name...if I can remember it...so busy being sunbunny now I forget who I am....... rolleyes

Safely Under Lock And Key...what on earth did you do to get a nickname like that? redface
They used to lock him in the stock cupboard for feeling girls' bums
Chris' cousin contacted us through FR and has stayed in touch...we found out loads of gossip about the rest of the family who don't talk to us lol

PMSL@ the link! I did a similar thing when my X-hubby got caught out there but I had his account details and password. I posted on HIS profile that he was a complete bastard who had fucked off with a slag nurse and left his wife and two children lol He didn't find out for ages and I forgot until a work colleague of his looked his name up and discovered my rant :lol: :twisted:
I also had his bank account details until he realised and dashed down the bank to cancel his online stuff! Pity I didn't have the nerve to clear him out............ rolleyes
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!!

Wwell I met up with an old school mate from via FR..he was a sound bloke at school. He arranged to visit us when he came north to see his parents and I spent the ensuing time convincing my wife that not all my mates were beer swilling, lazy drunks (like me!)..when he turned up he was all sharp suited and had an Italian sports car...I did too good a job on bulling him, because I caught him & my wife in the car park of the restaurant with his hand up her skirt and snogging each others faces off!!
I was a bit cheesed off to say the least but decided to put it down to drink and forgive them...well I had no choice in that matter..she ran off with him and lived happily ever after...wish I'd bullied the bugger at school now!!
Poor me :cry: lol

Yes I've always thought there seems to be a Yorkshire bias in the swinging ads and from contributors on here...but what does it mean?? Are we all sex starved nymphomaniacs in Yorkshire or do peeps from other areas just get on and do it quietly??!
Sorry, don't mean to get off thread redface
