.... about the friend you have that to outsiders would seem like you are a bit like the odd couple.
I met mine 5 years ago and she was my hairdresser, then my friend. We get on like a house on fire. Talk for England. No pretention. I was at her wedding saw her family grow with the birth of her sons and we have some mad nights out together as well as long walks in the parkland near our homes. We have met each others families and we in turn get on incredibly well.
My friend is only 26 and younger than all of my children. I laughed when she asks who is Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates like? She laughs when I moan about my aches and pains and the price of stuff. I told her dolphins were the only other animals that wank apart from humans and monkeys and she relayed that info to her husband who is completely bamboozled at how we get to talking about such things. I don't know why either but I love spending time with her. I share all of the gossip about her friends in a world I will only ever be on the edge of.
Who is your unlikely friend and what is it about them that you love so much? |

I spent a long time interviewing an awsome lady for a job as a teacher. We got along so wel and I was really taken with her so offered her the job. She replied that she had only come to ask about studying!
I convinced her to take up the job and she proved trustworthy, honest, reliable, discreet, sophisticated and totally respectful. We became firm friends and she married one of her learners and I have seen her move to a super job and become a mum of two.
She is also a generation younger than me and we live thousands of miles apart now but remain firm friends, more like sisters. |

My most unlikely friend, sadly no longer, was a transvestite called Amy (Ian in everyday life). We met at work and I was only one of two people who knew that he dressed in the evenings and at weekends.
He had been married twice before and both relationships ended when the wives found out about his dressing habits. He could not confide in any real friends, only speaking to other transgendered people on the internet.
When he knew i wasnt judgemental about the trans community, he confided in me. Then we used to speak on the phone in the evenings because we had the same interests, makeup, diamantes, clothes, shoes, fake eyelashes. I always thought I was more important to him because I was his only outlet, but looking back I was needy too.
Anyway sadly our friendship ended because he met a woman who he could also confide in about his dressing. He fell in love and they were happy, the proviso being that he finished his friendship with me because she felt threatened by our telephone calls, even though I was happy to be completely upfront.
I do still miss him at times. He was someone I could tell anything to, he also put me right about men too, I understand them a little more now. I |
