    I mean real friends that you can count on. A lot of "friends" most of us have are just fair weather friends that take a hike when the going gets rough. Can you differentiate between your real friends and glorified acquaintances?

    10-15 'mates', probably 3 other close friends, who I'd trust with anything.

    Dead people are great, they won't run off and leave you, you can tie strings to them and make puppets out of them and they make for great decorations around the house.

    This year, I have a Santa on top of the house................had to move him from the garden because he was beginning to stink up the place.

    Plenty of passing acquaintances, who have plenty of interest in telling me how I should be living my life.
    My friends dont even tell me they just support me :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17 Macailz


    I have plenty of mates, maybe 5 good friends though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,061 ✭✭✭keith16

    But I'm trying to be happy today so whatevs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 776 ✭✭✭Tomk1


    I'm such an introvert, n' looks like aint the only one. Can only have 1 sometimes 2 trusted friends at any one time, plenty of buddies, but durning my drunk-years, pretty sure I had loads of friends?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭EdenHazard


    loads of friends but most of them extended. I'm pretty introverted.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭Captain Graphite


    Plenty of mates/buddies/whatever to go out and drink with and chat meaningless bollocks.
    As to proper, real friends.......very few if any. I'm too cynical to trust people enough to call them 'friends'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler

    If a lot of your friends are like that, then you are bad at picking friends.


    I have 6 friends I could depend on for almost everything, but only 1 who definitely would help me kill someone if it came down to it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,171 ✭✭✭triple-M


    I have the same amount of friends as kip drordy

    It's good that you have all eventualities covered. But what if the guy you need to kill is that friend?

    I have acquaintances, people I'd go out the odd time with, but nobody I'd depend on if I had to.

    Extended?!?



    I r Billy Billie? Wilhemina-no-mates. :( But I usually hate people anyway. So meh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,513 ✭✭✭bb1234567


    I'm kind of quiet /shy person so most of the friends I have are close and trustworthy as I dont exactly have a huge social circle. But I'd probably have about 5 close friends, and maybe 7/8 other friends which is enough for me anyway .:)

    I think in that situation you could kidnap the children of one of your less reliable friends. You now ask that friend to kill your reliable best buddy. If they don't comply you begin hacking off limbs of the children and posting them to him. They'll eventually do the right thing.

    Counting my wife? I'd say about one.

    I don't get out much. I should probably work on that.
