This is my entry in the'profile' section of in Friends Reunited -
Â
In 1980 I ended up in Pontypridd after a particularly heavy drinking session with a long distance lorry driver( from Halifax) and I've stayed ever since. I'm an ex lap dancer who now works in Sainsbury's (on the check-out no less ). I'm divorced (twice ) I have 6 lovely kids aged 2 to 17, the eldest Taffy is in Strangeways but it was a set up.
What's yours ?

surely you should just take the hint and dont bother looking to reunite yourself with your absent friends?
if theyre that hard to get in touch with,maybe theres a reason for that?
or maybe thats just me
besides which-that organisation is cursed-that tv documentary said so and that means its all true.
join and be damned

'Still slightly strange'
With my dad being in the Army, we did tend to move around alot, tis a very good way of getting back in touch, have now started to talk to quite a few peeps thanks to it!!!

They chucked me off for lying on my one. I think I was a bit abusive as well - as if I'd want to talk to any of the sh*ts I was at school with. If I liked them I'd still speak to them - you don't just "lose touch" by accident.
And I certainly don't want to "revisit the past" - suddenly going "oh, weren't we childish - look how much we've grown up, we can be friends now". I'll hate every f*cker who ever crossed me till the day I die. In fact, the only thing it's got going for it is it might help me track the f*ckers down that bit faster.
Only reason people use that piece of sh*te is to either try and pull someone or boast a bit, or both. Sad attention seeking w*nkers - that's the audience for a site like that.

Sorry SG, you posted while I was typing.
It's not a "personal attack" just a general feeling of distaste.

I've got a 10 year reunion coming up in December I'm half wandering wether to go or not. I hated school (all boys, uniforms AND straw hats). I wouldn't go, but my friend is flying back from Oz a week before for a holiday and he wants to go...
I went to the 5 year reunion and was completely trashed before I got there, the guy I went with last time now lives in Norwich, and he ain't going this time.
Ho-hum, do I really want to see those sad wankers? At what price friendship?

I have no idea--my account got erased, as well as all my posts, if you've noticed. Paddy's on the case
. I almost had a heart attack cos I thought I'd got kicked off. But then I remembered I'm too nice.
So if anyone had PM'ed anything important, please resend as it's all gone.
Back to watching Big Si eat lobster in the front.

I have to say that I agree with "Jim" and on others on this one!
Besides this site, and others like it, charge members £5.00 to join - 2 Million+ members in the UK - Who knows how many members in other countries being charged a nominal membership fee - You do the maths!!!!
Somebody is making a hell of a lot money!
I propose that we start a "Sisters Fans Reunited" site - charge just £2.00 and RAKE IT IN!

Friendz...have found them talked, caught up how many kids, etc. Send Christmas cards once a year then you drift apart again...
Of course when your in a 12 step program one of your step is to find people and make amends...

I tend to agree with SG that being a forces brat made it difficult to keep in touch. Having said that, the upside is that I manged to track down my 77-79 gang from germany (the ones I've bothered looking for) and we get together twice a year to get trashed.
On the downside, I managed to attract the attentions of someone who I vaguely remembered. Unfortunately she turned out to be the psycho bitch stalker from hell. But after 12 months of harrassment, resulting in us changing all our phone numbers, having our mail vetted and taking out an injunction she dissapeared.
I suppose the moral is be careful, as there's some weird, twisted fcukers out there, who have no life and can't wait to get their claws into yours ...

I always thought being stalked must be quite flattering. Is it?

No. Not when their intention is to destroy you and everything you have or ever held dear.

I know the feeling well, JB.
But there's nothing like Escape, and Papa Doc Duvalier voodoo!
