Roy Finnigan's story (from FB April '21):

I can't say that I am entirely comfortable sharing my life but seeing as so many of you have it only seems fair that I do.
After graduation, I did my pre-reg at the Eastern general in Edinburgh with a great wee team. Had a ball living with
Richard Crampton
and
Maureen Nicholls
too. Then went to Greenwich hospital as they were the first to offer me a job and spent a fun year or two learning to speak like an Eastender. After that, I accidentally emigrated to Australia ("I'll be back in a year mum") following a girlfriend who turned into my wife. Lived in Perth for a time working in hospital pharmacy, just like working in the UK but with accents like Neighbours.
Moved to Broome - let's just say a few years ago - in search of adventure - it's a tiny speck in the tropical north-west where I have risen to the dizzying heights of regional chief pharmacist - essentially I'm in charge of lots of empty space which suits me just fine.
Along the way we had 3 kids, many fishing and camping adventures in the bush (dodging crocs and snakes) and the odd trip back to the UK.
Anyway, great to see all the photos from uni days, bringing a lot of repressed memories back 😊
