1974I think it sounds a bit schoolgirlish to call someone your best friend when you are in your 30s, but surely its okay when the person in question has held the title since before you were even in primary school?The good thing about having one friend, who is closer than all others for such a long time (30 years plus), is that there's not much about me she doesn't know.There's no point putting on any airs and graces as she remembers when I used to eat dirt. Why bother doing my hair and putting on make up when we used to have matching blue eyeshadow, frosted pink lipstick and spiral perms?No point eating and drinking delicately as she was there when I drank so much raspberry cordial it came out my nose. No need to pretend to be wordly as she held my hand when I cried for my Mum on my first day of school. I can honestly say we've barely had a cross word in the last 20 years (the first 10 featured a few Baby Alive related scuffles) and only then it was the heated, ongoing and yet to be rectified debate - Gary or Martin Kemp - who's hotter? I'm still not backing down on this one and if you're not along side me in the Gary camp, don't be telling me about it.Between us now we've got 31 years of marriage, five kids, but its all threatening to come to an end - all because of a man. But not just any man. This man.The BF claims Bill Bryson is patronising and condescending to those he meets on his travels. She finds it offensive. I also think he's patronising and condescending, but I find it funny. Really funny. The Thunderbolt Kid strangely made me feel nostalgic for a place I have never been and a time that existed before I was born. How can a writer that does that be wrong?It could end in tears.1976Source

I was firmly entrenched on the Martin side of the Kemp camp for 20-odd years, but within the past year, I've definitely moved my flag over to Gary's side...there's just something about him that's hooked me good....
