So in the interests of making it easier for ex school/college/university friends to catch up with me I’m adding the following sentences to my blog so google picks them up

Kennington County Primary 1984 – 1991
Fulwood High School 1991 – 1996
Preston College 1996 – 1998
Edinburgh University 1998 – 2000
Edinburgh Student Charities Appeal (aka ESCA) 1999 – 2000
Huggabugga Jaffacake Appreciation Society International (aka HJASI) 1998 – 2000
University of Central Lancashire 2001 – 2003

Right that sums up my educational history. Who needs to pay friends reunited a tenner to catch up with people?

The theory being that by adding the names of people to this site, they will hit this site when they search for themselves on google.

The difference this time is……. I don’t actually know any of these people in person. But that doesn’t stop me wanting to catch up with them. So the list is:

Keeley Rebecca Hazell
Most of the female cast of hollyoaks (especially Hannah Tointon (her sister Kara is ok too even though she’s going out with Martin Fowler) and the one who plays Sarah….. Carmel and Louise would be good too…. oh and Zoe (or Emily from Big Brother who looks like her)….. or Jess!)
Sam and Amanda (the twins off big brother)
Jessica Jane Clement (off real hustle)

Ok I’m just kidding by the way (before Yvonne reads this entry). Though if any of the above people pass by feel free to leave a comment…. ideally including your e-mail address or phone number

So I’m hoping to save other people money on Friends Reunited by listing the people I’d like to catch up with on this blog. The hope is that once google indexes and adds this page, if the people concerned google for their name, this blog comes up in the search results. At least that is the theory.

So I would like to catch up with the following people

Richard Delaney (aka Mad Richard)
Chris Baig
Duncan Wright
Dave Ashburner
Paul Norris
Jenny Bolton
Ian Edgington

So if any of the above people (or indeed anyone else who knew me previously) drifts past this site don’t forget to leave a comment
