One of those comment, copy and paste things from Facebook seems to reveal the Chaplaincy, dancing and the boys’ school as the source of many of my friends.

How many of us really know everybody on our Facebook friends list?? Here's a task for you!
I want my FB friends to comment on this status about how you met me. After you comment, copy this to your status so I can do the same to you. You'll be amazed at some of the answers you get
Paganess I know it was over 30 years ago and had to do with
dancing, but when and what exactly I have no idea!
Ms Exlibris First visit to Newcastle Catholic Chaplaincy October 1976
... and I had to walk the plank over a hole in the floor to get in!
Mrs Yarnfray At the Journal Bloggers meeting in 2007. I think I do know all my FB friends now.
I had a massive friend cull a while back and
was pretty ruthless about it.
Bodrhanman Town Moor, May Day probably in 82 I think!
Ozwife Woodlawn Parents Teachers & Friends Association about
6 years ago!
Ms LHS Met you once on a pub crawl in Newcastle in 2005 but have
known about you for much longer than that.......
Henlady Met you through Ferretfingers
and further through Thunderthighs.
Mrs Tiler Through Phil.
Strawangel Woodlawn PTFA.....pleased to say we're still on each
other's friend list even though I'm over 100 miles away now!
Sheamus Murphy Tried to sell you a ticket to Kingsmen 30th anniversary
ceilidh in 1979*.
You came to ceilidh
(but never paid for ticket!) Ok it was
slightly more complicated than that.
*At Newcastle Catholic Chaplaincy, I claim
I’ve paid for the ticket many times over in many different ways, just not in
cash.
The ‘known about you longer than that’ is
relevant to more than one person.
As I was a life member of Newcastle
University Students Union the Kingsmen put me on their membership list as this
helped them gain access to the premises for practices, events etc. My relationship with a certain Kingsman ended and
I had little to do with any of them for over a decade, but my name remained and
was read out, with all the rest, at their Annual General Meeting.
After Phil died I got involved with rapper
dancing again and encountered the new generation of Kingsmen; including he who eventually
became Ferretfingers’ Godfather.
“You’re Bentonbag!” he said “Blimey, I
thought you were a mythical beast! I’ve
heard your name at every AGM but didn’t believe you really exist.”
