Proper, genuine blokes

Got a call from an old workmate this morning to wish me a happy new year, he must be mid Seventies, but as mad as a balloon. A Gentleman, not many of them left now.

Yes its a good time of year to catch up with people you loose touch with, beats social media "friend" requests.........

Does it? What if those friend requests are from people you’ve lost touch with?

Social media just seems cold compared to a phone call or chat over a pint is all.

Passing pleasantries always remind me of Derek and Clive

It’s not always possible or even desirable to speak over the phone or go out for a drink with old acquaintances, ex girlfriends or workmates or similar, I wouldn’t want to talk to them per se, but a message chat where you can avoid touchy stuff because you have time to give a measured response can put a smile on your face and keep lines of communication open.

Strangely enough I've never 'lost touch' with anybody that that I desired to keep in touch with.
