    Jaysus! Don't let the women know about this >_>

    Grr manly feelings, Grr Grr.

    Happens to everyone at some point or another, I lost track of two of my best mates and ofcourse I miss them. It's nothing compared to you and your mate but yeah, it sucks loosing a close friend one way or another.. Have you been keeping in touch with him much?

    I know the feeling. Of course having one of your best mates moving abroad is gonna make you feel a bit down. It's only natural. Two of my best friends moved to England in the last year. Sometimes when I'm out I can't help but think, "I wish X and Y were here" or "Aw, X would have found that funny".

    Best thing you can do is keep in touch. Those social networking websites (Bebo, Facebook or what have you) are really handy for this kind of thing.

    Aha! All you cold, hard men are busted, you DO have feelings! :p

    Anyway, think of it like this: Your friends are the people you'd have for family if it was up to you. When you lose one, or one isn't so close anymore, of course you're going to miss them! It's not weird at all, it's human. There's nothing wrong with being human.

    I imagine it's more difficult for men when this happens. Women in general tend to have lots of friends which eases the pain when one friend moves away. Men usually have just one or two close mates they can confide in.
    D-Boy, as others have suggested keep in touch, and keep an eye out for cheap flights to London.
    All the best to you...

    Yeah, well I think those of us that have experienced it are the lucky ones - to have had such good mates in the first place.
    Just be grateful that you have such a good friend, realise that he'll be a mate for life and then concentrate on getting on with things. Make new mates, you can never have too many and no two are alike.

    Remember - some people never have a friend that good, never mind feeling sorry for themselves because such a mate has moved^^^^
