Wise words and timely share with MG round the corner. A lot of this loneliness is shielded by partying, substances and promiscuity parading as bids of connections.

Thank you mate and yes you're very correct. While I hope everyone has a blast over the festive season, I'll be scheduling brunches to debrief with mates for sure.

Well done Andy. We don't need to be 'qualified' to be there for someone. Just a warm heart and big ears.
