jigsaw 11,809 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 i have read this post and thought long and hard on the subject,ive one mate ,and he is a mate ,that has given me financial help when i was completely fooked ,a substantial ammount of money ,and ove a 2 year period i paid it back ,no stress from him at all,BUT if it came to anything else ,the same mate wouldnt be one to stand beside ye and take a blow ,so in that respect ,yeah hes there if ye need help OTHER THAN fisticuffs ,and since ive gone over my 50's now thats not an issue ,soooo..i have to say ive got 1 mate that will come and do whatever i ask of him once he knows its the only way ,other than him ...I stand alone lol but i got two good sons that are guaranteed to do what it takes if the family unit is threatened ,.......does that count?...i kinda stay to myself these days ,preferring my own company a lot ....in other words im an odd bolix 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j j m 6,479 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 there can be times when your own company is good ,but like I say when my mate took ill he has no family around him so he had to depend on his mates,since he split up with his wife he has had nothing but bad luck ,im not going to say its all her fault but she done some dirty tricks leading up to the divorce including taking a lot of money out of accounts before he realised what she was up to,im glad hes shot of her because women like that will do it again,i just hope he has the strength to live a normal life and put it all behind him Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 29,602 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Personally i dont think a mate standing by your side in a tear up proves anything whatsoever about friendship....some people just enjoy scrapping its no hardship ! Ive lost money,time and blood for friends and blood was by far the easiest 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, he survived and after a long, long time in hospital he was allowed home. They didn’t know if he would walk again and he was staying at his mum and dads, getting very melancholy and generally being a f***ing baby about it.......it came to some harsh words telling him to get a grip and be a man to snap him out of it, and it did. I don’t think anybody except people who a very close to a person can do or say those things. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
