Morgan Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Two-pronged question. How long have you had a friend/pal/mate that you’ve known ‘for ever’? Secondly, do you now have a ‘friend’ who is a whole lot older than you but, you really, really like him/her? I am still very good friends with a wee guy I’ve known since I was about 9 or 10. I now have a couple of really good friends who are many years older than me, but are wonderful people, and who I am proud to call my friends.

gjcc Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Met my best pal on a joint Hearts & Hibs football forum. Aged 16. Coming up for 32 now. Best man at his wedding and he’ll be play that role at my wedding in a few months. He’s a few years older. I don’t talk to anyone from school.

Still best pal with my mate I’ve had since I was 8. 40 years best pals with the hibs *****. Got friends of all ages I suppose, few good ones I’ve met through this place. One of my best pals is a guy I worked with for 20 years. He’s in his 70’s now but I still phone him at least once a week for a blether now I don’t see him much. He’s the funniest man I’ve ever known in my life. Makes me belly laugh every single time I talk to him. I worry about him nowadays he’s getting older Got a few pals younger than me too but my main pals I’ve had for at least 30 years and I make time for them…we’ve shared a lot of shit together. I’m just off the phone to one who I haven’t seen for a few months actually, good hour and a half blether about basically a load of nonsense.

Vlad Magic Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Still mates with a couple I was at primary school with so that’s 40 plus years. Ive got a group of pals my age and a group who are all at least 10 years older than me. One of my very best mates is 10 years older than me. Complete hooligan who leads me astray given the opportunity. Been on holiday numerous times with him. Going away in the summer with him and the “old team” including my Dad who is in his 70’s. The old team can out drink, out swear and misbehave twice as much as the young group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott herbertson Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Was at nursery with my mate in Northfield in, I guess, 1958. so 64 years. He's stopped coming to matches tho' 🙁 so rarely see him these days. He was supporting Dunfermline in the 1968 final but switched to Hearts after and a bunch of us from Northfield and Portobello School used to congregate in the shed in the late 60s and onwards, down to 5 or 6 of us in Stratties now, and gradually getting outnumbered by the next generation children (now adults themselves) Edited January 16, 2022 by scott herbertson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) The girl that was raised in the house that we shared a tenement wall with. From infanthood we were passed for care at each home, she was the best maid for my wife at our wedding, and we were neighbors for a while after both were married. Of course lost touch to an extent when moved to Canada but now with the wonders of internet we can maintain the contact that started some eighty five years ago. She was always a Hibs fan, but her son is a Hearts fan, so she's no all bad. Edited January 16, 2022 by Sharpie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maple Leaf Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 My friends have developed the disconcerting habit of dying, which shouldn't be a surprise I suppose. Old age doesn't come by itself. My diminishing group of friends are all old farts. I do have one friend, a Londoner whom I met when in the army in 1958, who has stayed in touch despite time, distance, and widely different interests. He describes Hearts as his second team.

I have sort of a similar situation, when I was at Boroughmuir I knew a guy but was never a close friend as he was a year ahead. When I signed up for the Scots Guards this same person joined with me, we travelled to Caterham together, trained together went to Egypt had different duties but still nodded and passed a word. etc. On conclusion of our service lost touch completely. few years ago I got into the Scots Guards association, I saw my friends name often as he had office in the group, and at one time ran the guards Club in Haymarket. About a couple of years ago his name disappeared from all the correspondence and I thought the worst, a member of the Association told me he was in fact fine and gave him my address. We got in touch and have remained so, he has been a stalwart to me with his support and kindness. I recently received a Scots Guards Covid mask and a Heart of Midlothian one, its true what they say, no friend like an old one. Even if he is a Rangers supporter.

Locky Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 My oldest friend in terms of length of friendship is a boy I met on day 1 of primary school. Living in Oz at the moment and haven't even seen the boy for quite a few years, but we still keep in touch and reminisce about the shite we got up to as bairns. Hope to meet him for a pint when he's back in Edinburgh next. I've got a real varied group of mates. Pals with lads who are nearly 10 years my younger, good few mates 5-10 years older, and even got a mate who's in his late 60's. We only worked together for a few weeks but clicked and kept well in touch ever since. Loves a pint and often frequents pubs in Gorgie as he stays there but he's a time. Also a shagger.

Doctor FinnBarr Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 My best mate I've known for 55 years now, he left Blackburn in the 80s to move to Portknockie because he was working offshore. He still came down for games when he could and I visited him when I could. Alas, the drink got to him and his wife chucked him out and he ended up in Cornhill Mental hospital in Aberdeen. He got a house in Stonehaven and still I visited then he just vanished. Took me a long time getting replies from his laddies on FB but I got a mobile number for him. He stays in Henley-on-Thames now and follows Leeds when he's not offshore, during said phone call he asked me to be best man (again) at his upcoming wedding. I refused as he has 3 boys who could do that duty now but promised I'd attend. That was maybe 4 years ago now and its the last I heard from him, gave in now. Best pal outwith the family now is Rhona in Cullen, wee biker lass I've known for 30 years now. My brother and his family mean everything to me now but the one and only winner in all this is Mrs Saunders, 24th anniverary this year, still going strong.

I have a few friends around me age and a few younger too, male and female. A nice mix of different people and whom i def can call friends. I can trust and they can trust me . That's the important thing. Also a good sense of humour helps and a positive outlook to life. I've had to ditch a few people in my life who i felt began to be quite draining . I'm a firm believer in negative and positive energy. Yes i can be a miserable sod at times but I'm generally upbeat and prefer friends to be similar. I don't have any friends from my childhood or teenage years. We just drifted apart and I had nothing much in common with them eventually. I've met most of my adults friends via work or through friends . Met a couple really good jambo pals in the last few years so that's been a bonus. My oldest friend is actually 81. He is a great laugh and complete eccentric too. Edited January 17, 2022 by JamesM48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can relate to these comments you made. Over the years, I've cooled a few friendships and just drifted away from a couple too. My wife has also ditched a couple that she felt were dragging her down. I like the type of friends who you can easily just pick up with again after a few weeks/months of no contact. It shows that they and you aren't the suffocating needy type. For some folk though, that wouldn't be enough. Each to their own, I guess. Life is indeed a minestrone !! 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing a female friend next week I haven't seen in over a year a half so looking forward to that. Nothing wrong with having a clean out regarding friends if the friendship isn't working out. I recall ending a friendship with a long term friend a few years back as I felt it just seemed to be based on drinking in pubs. I had suggested to him maybe going for a meal ? coffee ? cinema or other activity but he just wanted to go to pubs. I felt we were more boozing buddies than anything with more substance really. Our conversations were mainly alcohol fuelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Lincs Jambo Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 One of the major benefits of the internet is finding people you have lost contact with over the years. I guy I was at primary school with (albeit not in the same class), we played in the school team together. Anyway, we used to go to games together early 80s then I moved away and we lost contact. Saw a post from him on FB so I got in contact (this was 2018). Came back up to Edinburgh and went for a few drinks with him and we get together for a pint and a blether on my rare visits. Not bad after not seeing each other for 35 years. On topic though I'm another whose best mate is my mrs. Come June this year that will be 34 years together.
