A GROUP of old school friends have got together for Christmas drinks in a local pub for what they are all inwardly praying is the final time.
The pals, who have been doing this every year for the last decade, no longer have anything in common and all hate being reminded of who they used to be by people they were once close to.
Ryan Whittaker, aged 28, said: “Hey, remember when Jack was going to be a tennis star? Not with that bloody paunch you’re not, mate! Only backhand you’re using is wanking!”
Jack Browne replied: “Yeah, and going into business with your dad was a winner, was it? Bankrupt and barred from being a company director by your mid-20s? Ladies impressed?”
Ellie Shaw said: “Hey, it’s not Jack’s fault he’s single. Lots of people are single. Of course for me it’s more than I’ve concentrated on my career rather than relationships, and is nothing to do with my living in a box room unable to afford to go out.”
Jo Kramer agreed: “Maybe you should give up on the big media career and London and be more practical, Ellie? Look at me, I’ve got a mortgage and a new build even if you do call me a drone of the suburbs in WhatsApp then delete it.”
Oliver O’Connor said: “So, my parents are moving to Cumbria which means I won’t be back here next Christmas! Really gonna miss you all. Please carry on without me.”
