We'll Meet Again
I'm not into all this Friends Reunited malarkey - but maybe I'll have to reconsider my views.
Because at the weekend I met up with an old school pal - whom I haven't laid eyes on for the best part of 40 years.
And what a pleasure it was too.
He brought along a photo from our football playing days - and we tried to remember the names and eccentricities of our old team-mates - quite successfully, by and large.
What a nice guy he's turned out to be - calm, relaxed and with a good sense of humour.
Quite the opposite of his persona on the football field - where no quarter was asked and none given.
Our brief reunion was a complete accident - via a previously unknown mutual friend - not through the much more popular route of the internet.
But I think it's highly likely we'll meet up again - and it just goes to show what you miss out on - when you lose touch with people.
Who knows, maybe I'll try and track down a few others - if I can free up some time.
