5- Craig (2 years older)

I think when you are so young you tended to stay within your circles of friends and everyone spend time with and kissed all the same boys or girls. This one was outside the box.I remember him stinking of smoke all the time.

PAST ' July 98. During the summer my German exchange student arrived. Tina. Craig was the English host for tom so I saw him everyday for 2 weeks. We met at went and wild the first time, the next day was trip to metro centre, my 1st time in a pub. We went to light water valley & he asked me out. He then sang roman songs to me all the journey on the bus.He always wore the same cloths. He came to see me at my work a few times. He wanted to go in the RAF but only had 5 GCSE's as he broke his arm during exams so a teacher had to write for him. He was a charv and we eventually lost contact'

2000 ' Seen him in town with a baby in a pushchair. Glad I got away in time.

PRESENT' I saw him when I went to the longbenton cat and dog shelter with a friend. Craig was working there and recognised me straight away. Its always a bit awkward to see people from your past if you just never tried to keep in contact with them. :( It was news to me I was first in a pub at aged 14 but if its in the guyry must be true! & roman songs really ???? just thought it could be Ronan Keating songs. Memory is a wonderful thing.
