Reggie: Hi Rob, you ok, man?
Rob: Wow, Reggie! Two messages in 2 months, lot for you!
Reggie: Yeah! Anyway, remember we talked about that drink a while ago, well I'm back home his weekend, Dad's 60th on Sunday, big family do, you know. Showing me off to everyone, know what my old man's like!
Rob: Yeah, love Reginald! He still at the factory?
Reggie: Yeah, hoping to finish there soon. Mum's at school still, she'll never leave!
Rob: Yeah, weird your mum teaching us, God it must be about 25 years ago. Mrs Wright's reception class!
Reggie: My God, yes, it was even weirder for me, I had to call her Miss or Mrs Wright, not Mum. I always forgot!
Rob: We were naughty little buggers then! 
Reggie: I think I played up cos I didn't like mum giving the other kids attention!
Rob: Anyway, about meeting up. How about we go and watch the footie in the pub on Saturday?
Reggie: Sounds ace! Cherie be there?
Rob: Nah, not her thing! Just like old times, eh?
Reggie: Yeah, sounds good. It'll keep me going through a grim week in Work!
Rob: Thought you were fighting off gorgeous women 24/7!
Reggie: As if! I've had 1 hook up in 6 months, man! Girl from work. Not exactly living like a monk but almost!
Rob: Well, keep looking, you're quite a catch. Cherie always says so, anyway!
Reggie: Lovely girl, Cherie! See you on Sat, buddy!
Rob: See ya!
Reggie is coming home this weekend, because it's his Dad's 60th birthday on Sunday. His father is working at a factory, and his mother is a teacher. She used to teach Reggie and Rob about 25 years ago. Rob and Reggie will go and watch football in the pub on Saturday.
