Posted: 7/4/2008 1:33:55 PM | Are you generous with your time when a troubled friend needs your undivided attention or do you limit your time with such friends or avoid completely ?
My phillosphy has always been .........
Its worth listening to a troubled friend as you never know, there might just be a shag in it for you!

I would give my friends all the time in the world if i thought it would help them with their troubles.
My philosophy is slightly different to the naughty bugger OP's though.
Give your time freely to those who need it as you may be needy yourself one day. | |

All the time in the world, if that is what it takes.
If it was you Mac, I would have the shag too.  | |

That's got to be one of the best yet 
I thought it was all nice and serious then the punchline got me!
I'm always there for my friends. Some don't do the same back though, and you end up learning the hard way.
So tell us OP, has it ever worked for you? | |

Posted: 7/4/2008 2:01:37 PM | | If any of my friends ever need me I'm there for them, and I hope they all know that. Considering nearly all my friends are blokes I'm definitely not hoping there might be a shag in it for me. | |

Posted: 7/4/2008 2:03:51 PM | Once my friend always my friend, call whenever you need me, day or night.......that's always been my philosophy and always will be......... and not a shag in sight  unless you count the birdy with feathers type which i saw last weekend  | |

Posted: 7/4/2008 3:04:52 PM | you know what they say - a friend in need is a pain in the arse
they also say - to have good friends - you first have to be a good friend.
I am happy to say I have a great bunch of friends of all ages who are there for me when ever I need them - just as I am for them. | |

My best mate can ring me anytime night or day, and ill drop everything if she needs me ... i am a very good listener, and will help any of my mates and give them advice.. (maybe i should take a leaf out of my own book) and do my best to get them back on the straight n narrow!!
THATS A TRUE FRIEND!!  | |

And i thought you lived a life of solitude and insulation!
Never a truer word said is that a friend in need is a friend in deed!
It is when your back is up against the wall that true friends present themselves and those who have there own agender show themselves in zoom vision.
This hit on a topic i thought of putting.
But it is worth baring in mind that present situations can cloud how a friend responds to your plight.
Not allways are they in a position to be there,no matter how they want to be. | |

Posted: 7/4/2008 4:35:51 PM | Regretfully the only friend I have made on here who needs help refuses all aid.
I would go so far as to say the Olive branch that has been offered several times has been thrown back in my face. I'm not the only one who has offered help either, but it has got beyond "we will be there if he needs us" there is a limit to being shat on for anyone.
And no, there wasn't a shag in it, I only like Marmite on toast, not motorways. | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 12:22:21 AM | It may surprise you to know, friends do not come to me for sympathy!
Time- yes, I always have or will make time for friends. Money- not a problem, if I have it I will give it. Practical stuff - no problem. Sympathy- nah you have come to the wrong place. I detest self pity.
I have a good friend on here, she phoned and it was obvious she was in trouble....no problem driving an hour to see her (I cancelled my date before leaving.) Turned out she was close to being evicted as, despite working her butt off she just did not earn enough to pay the rent. She had not been eating, was losing weight and in a real state.
No problem. Took her for pizza, took her to Tesco and stocked up on basics, showed her how to claim housing benefit....
I will break your problems down into manageable chunks, sort one thing at a time... first sign of "oh poor me..." I am off. Shit happens. Deal with it, don't moan about it. | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 4:47:53 AM | I can listen to all my friends problems and dilemmas. Anytime. Anyday. But i am not generous.
I dont listen to a repeat story/problems/dilemmas over and over and over. Again and again and again. Nope. Nuh-uh.
I'd listen to their problems/dilemmas. Give them my advice (Get over it and get on with your life!) And after that i am gone. (Dont buggery call me if its about the same bloody problems)

I have endless time for my friends. As do they for me. Isn't that what friendship is all about? | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 11:09:08 AM | I was reminded yesterday as to how lucky I am to have such great friends.
I was taken rather ill and I've had a steady stream of friends popping in on their way home from work with bottles of water / fruit juice / bananas to make sure I was getting plenty of fluids and at least attempting to eat something.
My phillosphy has always been .........Its worth listening to a troubled friend as you never know, there might just be a shag in it for you!
*eeek* I've always had my doubts about my one friend, and now you've got me wondering exactly what he had in mind when he brought those bananas round  | |

PS, if you feel the need to attack me for making remarks about a date rape drug being used in an incorrect environment, please post your reply on the 'no sense of humour' thread
PPS and if you just want to attack me, with your love (girls!) pm me for a private number | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 7:22:04 PM | Did the boyfriend still want a date if the daughter stank of wet dog? (Staffs are the worst culprits too - according to Crufts wet dog odour survey, 2006)
If the gruesome pet hating (and probably murdering) landlord inadvertently went into the bathroom, she could always play the confusion card and say she must have asked the shop assistant for a shower cat instead of cap
When you've sorted her out could you sort out my enemies too please? I'll pay, and provide all implements of 'persuasion', which you may keep once they have been sterilized | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 12:58:32 AM | If my friends/family need me, I am always there, with a shoulder to cry on/advice if required/a few funnies to make them smile/a helping hand.
Unfortunately, it's rarely reciprocated............... | |
