Your best friend
 

Would love to hear about your life long friendships. Pictures below of my oldest and dearest friend and myself, which has now lasted since birth and now into in our 60's.

Attachment 10407 Me on the right Attachment 10408 Me on the left.

We have learned to walk together, played on the swings together, biked to Cock Bridge together, picknicked together, walked to school together, collected bonfire together, snowballed together, blown out birthday candles together, visited nightclubs together, rock 'n rolled together, holiday'd together, bridesmaids for each other, cuddled our children together, buried our parent's together, etc., etc., Sure you get the picture. Feel lucky to have been blessed with such a friendship.

Now, even though live in different countries, we are still inseparable, just hope I go first.

I'm in the same situation with my best friend, Katex.

You can't put a price on friendship like that. :D

Re: Your best friend
 

my best friend is paris.:) have many aquaintances but only 1 best friend.

Re: Your best friend
 

that is soo nice kate

Re: Your best friend
 

What a cracking story Kate not many of us hold on to friends like that. It brought a few tears to my eyes.

Re: Your best friend
 

I met my best friend when we were both 4 and started at St Marys school. We're both 64 now. We went through primary school together, then to Paddock House, and I used to go to her house for lunch from school so her mum and dad were like 2nd parents to me. My mum taught her how to iron a shirt!

When I got married she was my bridesmaid. When she got married I was her matron of honour. She's my eldest child's godmother.

We don't see each other a lot but we keep in touch and, when we do meet, it's like we last met yesterday.

Re: Your best friend
 

its nice to have someone you can call your best friend :)

Re: Your best friend
 

you both havent changed much have ya??

you can tell whos who:p

Re: Your best friend
 

My best friend is Angie (Mange on Accyweb). She doesn't come on the site much because she is not very computer literate, I know that she won't mind me saying that.
We met when we were about 13 and she has just turned 40 and I will turn 40 soon (sooner than I'd like actually) :o
We have shared a lot of laughs, drinks, dances, money, man troubles and life traumas. We always come out of troubles laughing together. We may not see each other for weeks on end, but we are in touch. If I feel miserable, I know where to go and she, likewise.
We have made it clear that we would like to be in the same nursing home eventually where we plan on causing mayhem. :D
They say that you can't choose your family but you can choose your friends. I couldn't have asked for a better family and have also been blessed with my brilliant friend...... How lucky am I?:)

Re: Your best friend

Re: Your best friend
 

I have a couple lifelong friends. One friend, straight from nursery :D and another i met when i was 3-5 (also my housemate) his grandma was my mothers suday school teacher :D


Nice to read about your friendship. I don't categorise my friends as to say somebody is my best f riend but i do value friendship highly.

Re: Your best friend
 

What a good thread can't think why I missed it first time around really. My best friend without a doubt is Joan and has been for close on 22 years, more of a soul mate really, especially now I'm in poor health. I have other friends some old some new, in that respect I'd have to say Mtheads dad, who i've know since we were kids, he still pops round to see me on a regular basis, as does former MP Ken Hargreaves, true friends, there is also some one who I've met quite recently within the last few years who I consider a friend who like myself spends a lot of time on here;)

Re: Your best friend
 

i first met my best mate when we worked together when i was 14, we've helped each other through allsorts, moving, wedding, babies, bitching about men over a few glasses of wine, putting the world to rights almost everyday, going out and getting drunk together, falling over in hysterics, laughing at the mistakes we've both made but more importantly we are always there for each other, no matter what

Re: Your best friend
 

Best friend (far to touchy feely) ? Damn good mate maybe, partner in crime definitely :D when he's not getting us saddled in bother, grief with the Wifeys, up the proverbial creek or vice versa ! :s_aim1: Here we go again !

Re: Your best friend
 

Brings to mind a song I once heard, you must have been a beautiful baby, but crikey look at you now.:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Your best friend
 

Retlaw - this is your best-ever posting , not from the point of view of truth, but sheer wit. I wish I had said it. I think Katex will be smiling when she sees it - and not a few more. Bot like you to be funny.

Re: Your best friend
 

Mmmm, Lurch, somehow don't think this was meant as a compliment ... :confused::D
Actually, I believe I was not a beautiful baby ... had a tuft of Red Hair which stuck up on the top of my head, and the Maternity staff christened me 'Rosy Rooks' (maiden name) :(

Re: Your best friend
 

The last time I heard two people having a go at one another like you two do, they were happily married:D:D

Re: Your best friend
 

Hahaha, Jaysay, that makes sense.

Re: Your best friend
 

Thought you'd agree Kate:D don't know about your friend though:rolleyes:

Re: Your best friend
 

What do you mean friend. I don't have friends, only enemies, at least you know where you stand with them.
Behind them.
Retlaw.

Re: Your best friend
 

Ya think the world of Kate really:D

Re: Your best friend
 

I too missed this thread first time round.

Could have been getting some winter sun...at two of my best friends.

Lovely first post, and photos Katex.

I've got three.

I've had lots of wonderful friends throughout my life, but three I know would do anything for me, and I them.

All three now live abroad, but miles don't matter a jot. True friendship knows no barriers, or time differences.

Milly is now back in Milan, and John and Don are in Gran Canaria.

With those three people there is total trust, the same humour, and the same love. Most importantly for me, total forgiveness...no matter how much trouble I cause.

Even though I met my best friends at different times of my life, we all get on.

We were all invited to Milly's wedding last year, on a tiny island in Lake Como. My best friends have become best friends with each other, which is fantastic.

We'll all be best friends until we start kickin' the bucket.

Re: Your best friend
 

My mum used to say that you only need one hand to count the number of true friends you really have. At the time I had quite a few, but with the years, the number has reduced to
exactly what my mum said.
This forum, however, has allowed me to meet a few people who I would like to consider as 'virtual' friends, and in this day and age, I think this is something to hold on to.

Re: Your best friend
 

Now thats a thing "True Friends", a few years back we went oer to spain were i used to live, had me wallet nicked on train from airport,we had gone fer a month n was gonna book n early flight back,due to lack of dosh, within 48 hrs 3 couples i know,who live yon offered to lend me 1K, so we could stay, so we stopped yon, thats "True Friends" if ever there were.;)

Re: Your best friend
 

Funny you should reply, because you are one of those virtual friends I was referring to!!
Hope to see you in Summer

Re: Your best friend
 

unless i croak thats a damn good idea, be good to catch up.:D;)

Re: Your best friend
 

He used to be my virtual friend as well sue, now the really cashy turns up for a chin wag, its far better than writing it down on here:D

Re: Your best friend
 

Chin wag!! I haven't heard that for years. Do you ever ask yourself where these expressions come from?
To be honest 'Chin wag' sounds a bit Chinese.
Now come on all the true Lancastrians, and give me the origins of this expression

Re: Your best friend
 

Not all Lanky expressions can be traced back to there origins, some are 100's of years old.
I can trace two sayings that were once in common useage, Gone Doolally, and All my eye and Betty Martin.
Retlaw

Re: Your best friend
 

Well to me its self explanatory Sue, when your talking your chin is wagging:D

Re: Your best friend
 

So excited.

Milly's coming to see me in May, and bringing her new husband Paolo with her, to show him the delights of this part of Lancashire, and Oliver Twist, as she insists on saying.

She still works in fashion, based in Milan, but lives over the border in Switzerland now.

They're here when the Queen's due to visit Accy.

I'll just cod on that I've arranged all the bunting for them.

:D

Re: Your best friend
 

you could push it a bit further and say you arranged for the Queen to visit
