Any of you cunts ever been to one? I saw someone trying to organise one on Facebook a couple of years or so ago and about five people replied and the organiser got all annoyed. Just has no appeal whatsoever, do they ever actually happen or are they something that only happens in works of fiction?
We have one every Xmas pretty much.
Absolutely not

Think having no interest in going to one is a good sign of being content with your adult life.

Last thing Iād do. Somehow, loads of people I went to school with have done really well. Thereās no way on earth Iād put myself in a situation where people ask me what Iāve been doing for the last twenty years when the answer is āhaving a few pints and posting on the internetā.
Find it awkward enough seeing a good mate I hadnāt seen for like 6 months
Once me and my mate went It was at Dukes 92 we didnāt speak to anyone had few drinks and we went and watched Alabama Shakes at that Methodist Church on Oldham Street. Only went cause the gig didnāt have a bar.
The only other time I might have gone was that a couple of us thought it might be fun to go to one of the yearly meals so everyone booked to go then me and the now Mrs Roughyed were moving into our new flat on that day so couldnāt make it.
Much like school proms they are things that nobody outside of the US did until 2010 and now people are weirdly insistent have always been a thing here.

I think most of the girls I went to high school with still live where we grew up and are still friends with each other. Most of them are teachers now.
They tried to organise a 10 year one and loads of people were like ālol, why would we choose to come back to that shithole and spend time with you?!ā So they havenāt bothered since.
Considered it but ended up going to see that French lad who plays the Space Harrier theme on the drums at Sneaky Peteās instead.

I think this hints at the motivation behind them - am opportunity for lots of LOOK HOW SUCCESSFUL I AM 
Senior school
Iām in touch with a decent number of my friends from school and used to bump into the peripheral non-offensive ones when I used to come home at Xmas.
I probably would be interested in attending one but more out of morbid curiosity than anything else.
Iām too much of an embarrassing failure to really get out of them what Iād most want to. I always said if there was one, Iād attend in an astronaut costume and tell people I had to rush there straight from work

Iād be mildly interested to go but would probably not. I wouldnāt particularly enjoy seeing some of the nastier people.
I donāt live in my home town any more, so no.
