I've got a number of friends who moved away from our hometown a few years back for jobs, relationships and so on. They come back here every now and again and that's cool. Except for one thing.
All of them (and I mean all) return with at most 24 hours notice. I'll get a text or an email on a Friday saying they're around on the Saturday night, so let's go to a pub. One guy in particular is known for texting on the Saturday afternoon to attempt to arrange something for the evening. I get the impression from them that because they've moved away, they feel as if they've moved on while the rest of us plebs are sitting here, waiting for them to come back and tell us what to do. Now I don't have the wildest social life, but being a grumpy bastard with no money and a wife, it'd be nice to know the plans for a Saturday night with a bit more notice than a day. Other people have babies or are pregnant so they can't just drop everything to go out. Seeing as my friends are travelling fair distances to get back here, I think they're planning their trips a little way in advance so it's not like they just come back spur of the moment.
Does anyone else have friends who seem to think we're all still 19 or is it just me?
