Meet up with old friends...enjoy a drink now and then

[getmilesaway]

I bumped into an old work colleague of mine from years ago yesterday after finishing work...was well weird. I only nipped in to the pub for a quick pint after work and he walked in about 2 minutes later. It actually freaked me out a bit, but he's one of the mates I try to stay in contact with when I can, so it was all good. Nick's the sort of bloke who is legendary for gigging and excesses, so when he told me he was working at the bankruptcy department at Halifax I was surprised to say the least...he is the last bloke I expected to have a decent job, a steady partner and a mortgage! But good luck to him, he's a nice guy and he works hard for it. So we had a pint and he said he's going to tag along on Friday when me and my other mate go out drinking and making fools of ourselves in Manchester's indie venues. Fuck, it'll be like old times! The gang's getting back together again and it's making me feel part of a group of real people, something which I've missed out on for the last few years due to just not being around.

So yeah, things are looking up now, new job, old friends, all I need now is a better place to live and I'll have scored the perfect hat-trick!
