Intense FriendshipsThe other night a friend confessed to a really intense friendship when he was young. Nothing sexual or anything, but it did extend to always going to the toilet together. As he put it, "we shared our poos."
Think back to the innocence of blood brothers and being friends forever and tell us the stories of loyalty, commitment and how it all went horribly wrong. You've seen Heavenly Creatures...

when i was a kid I had a friend who livedround the corner from me. we used to make bands and play for our parents and record 'tracks' on my tape player. The band was called Two Star Petrol and between us we played flute, recorder, tennor recorder, penny whistles, keyboard and pan lids - it was all very experimental. Our early 'hits' were called things like 'Pumping Petrol' and 'Leaking Petrol'. Later we got a social conscience and made our most popular song (we actually played this one in public once) about the environment the chorus of which went:
We were given ths planet to live on
Not to chop down all the trees
Or to kill all the birds and the animals
Whenever we please
And so on. We also made a newsletter (well about 2) Two Star Petrol memorabilia (mostly pencil sharpeners with tipex on them) and 'fan papers' which were presigned pieces of paper to save time on autographs.
She moved away when I was about 12 (and she 10), and we kept in touch for a while. When she visited last we melodramtically and ironically joked that we'd never see one another again. That was 10 years ago
