Live Like JOE… Go for a drink with your best mate
He helped you clean the vomit off your mother’s carpet after an ill-advised party when you were both 16. He was the bass player in your short-lived secondary school band. He carried you home more times than you can remember. He didn’t kill you when you pulled his sister. That’s right, he’s your best mate.
In these busy times, it’s all too easy to fall out of touch with your homeboy. You once spent every waking hour together, but it’s probably been weeks since you caught up. Well, now is the time to do something about it. Pick up the phone, give him a ring and arrange a few scoops in your old local.
If your girlfriend objects then she’s not right for you. Drag all her belongings into your front garden and burn them. Or maybe just suggest a break. Up to yourself.
