Difference between friends and mates

Need to differentiate between quality, long standing, friends and people you go down the pub with, who are always borrowing a fiver off you.

Be a Billy No Mates I say.

Over the years I have noticed that all friends (old and new) have the following traits:

- egg you on to do things that you wouldn't normally just to help them out. This inevitably leads to friction at home as family time is encroached

- Give you false loyalties. You stand by them and then they do something stupid, dragging you into their mess (sound familiar, Tony?)

- P1ss off and leave you in the lurch on a whim when something better comes along.

No, from now on I shall be adopting the AtW model of being socially isolated. Look after No. 1, you know it makes sense.

See, I didn't even mention house prices, immigration etc.

Congrats! you have identified these people as NOT your friends.
True friends do not react this way...............You found this out when?
Are you still at school?

Milan is my best friend. He's never let me down and always provides much laughter.
