While making friends over the years we all find the people we like best,
and gradually lose contact with everybody else.
It’s not a nasty process, it’s quite natural:
everyone’s got limited time and nobody wants to waste it
talking to arseholes.

The people who do slip through the glossy fingers of our glamorous lives
congregate in desperation and
become parts of other groups which create the same process.
They basically keep the kestrels and boo the bees.
Hug the hazelnuts and boot the brutes.
This whittling down continues globally,
into smaller and smaller batches of people
until finally
there is just one person left.
Me.
Thanks guys.
Much appreciated.
