    That's because a friend isn't just some person who you send text messages to or maybe you know a couple of people in common and you send them cards at Christmas.

    I have 3 male friends, people that I would do just about anything for, short of murder. I know several more guys who would be willing to take me to the airport or help me move if I asked and there was pizza, but that isn't a likelihood.

    When I was single, I had half a dozen golf buddies, but I wouldn't consider them friends because the only time we got together was to play golf. After I got married, that element of my life faded away over time.

    So, yeah, I don't have many friends, but I have a handful of really good friends.

    My post may have been misconstrued somewhat as it was just an assumption based on your replies and was never intended to 'call you out' as it were

    It's pretty obvious that people have their own interpretation of what friends are and some may fall in the acquaintance category or maybe just people you know that you share no affection or personal regard.....according to report I remember reading (cannot remember any details of the source) but most people have 3 to 5 close friends and the rest are not real so to speak

    Latest new from the Keeping Track of Idiots desk ....

    Jermaine Pennant, 10 years ago a Champions League finalist, has found a new home after his release by Bury, with big-spending Isthmian League outfit Billericay Town.

    presuming he hasn't pissed all his money away - some players just don't want to hang up the boots

    GHreat great goal that one. Th emargin for error on applying that power was huge given the closeness of the bounce to his body

    Jordon Ibe
    Singled out because he is Bournemouth’s second biggest signing in their history, and he has been dire almost from minute one. Still, at least Ibe created his second chance in the Premier League in 2017 on Saturday. He’s still only had one shot on target in the league since joining the club in July 2016. Ouch.

    Where the hell did it go wrong for him (apart from between the ears)? In Klopp's 3/4 of a first season he at least looked dangerous.

    it's very simple, really. he has only one "trick". he's quick and strong, but he's not deft or crafty.

    Former Newcastle and Liverpool defender José Enrique has retired from football after persistent knee-knack, baffling observers who assumed Brendan Rodgers had done the job for him in 2015. “Sometimes I got dizzy in training, I was on so much medication,” yelped Enrique.

    He was a good player but we never had the opportunity to witness his strengths.....unfortunately his injuries were too much for him

    Nice bit of work by Jordon Ibe to set up Bournemouth's leveling goal against Brighton.

    These were Ibe's first two assists for Bournemouth, and he has yet to score for them. But he was definitely a difference-maker today--the game was transformed when he came on.

    except that the statistic model you are using likely isn't representative, as the friends are likely a circle of sorts and therefore in direct modes of communication with one another and therefore far likelier to repeat the well reviewed places the others have been to.

  24. There was a scene in the movie that he goes to Liverpool with a friend to watch a match and he gets a phone call from his little son, who wants a few Liverpool items. So they go to a huge fan shop. It was amazing, given he left the club about 6 years ago. When they walked to the shop, people from all over the world wanted to make selphies with him and when they had bought the stuff for his kid, the manager suggested they should take the back door instead of trying to get outside through the shop. He's unbelievable popular still after all those years.
    The surprise on the faces of the people from as far as Australia/New Zealand to see him there and get the chance to get themselves on a photo with him! The big smile on their faces was priceless.
