I dont know about everyone else, but is this board getting a little boring? I keep coming and there's nothing new... how about everyone writes somethign interesting to provoke some good healthy conversation? i personally cant think of anything, which is why i'm putting it to all of you.... give it a go.

I have an idea. I will pose as the new Thomas Corp agony aunt. So if anyone has any kind of problem or just general query I will answer it. "Dear Emmy... I can't feel my feet. Please help me find my lost tennis racket. Love jimmy."
like so.

Dear Aunty Emily,
I don't want to name names or anything, but i have a "friend" who i have always welcomed into my "group" of friends. However, the rest of my friends in my group practically ignore him, sometimes they even go as far as claiming my friend doesnt exist. My "friend" has done nothing to deserve this neglect, he is nothing but nice to everyone else, hes even helped a few of them out when they may have been in a tight spot. I dont want to lose any friends over this, and i think my "friend" would be a really good addition to the group, if only he was accepted. Please, would you be able to help me out? Any advice would be most appreciated.
Yours Faithfully, Thomas James

Dear Thomas James, Maybe you should convince this friend to get a haircut. It's obviously his hiddeous hair that is making your friends weary. If this doesn't work, try getting him a gimmick. LIke a catchphrase or goofy mask or something. BUt that could become annoying. If this doesn't work, I think maybe its important to realise you can't make your friends like this guy, even if he is perfectly decent. It's pretty hard to forge friendships with people you don't "click" with so it may be wise to give it a rest. You might start alienating your friend after a while. It is also possible your friends might not understand that you want this guy to be part of your group so you could organise a group confrence to debate his presence in the group. If this doesn't work, you might consider starting an opposing group that opposes the morals and ideals of your origional group. Don't forget to design a logo, chant and an initiation ceremony. Protest outside the other groups houses, start sleeping out on their lawns with signs saying "Give him a chance" and "Down with sugary breakfast cereals". What ever you choose to do, I trust you will make a sensible decision. Good luck.

Dear Auntie Emmie I too have a friend with a problem. I have known this friend for many years yet he still tries to convince me that he has other "friends". He has addmitted to me that these "friends" do not exist but he still tries to convince me, and everyone he meets, that they do. I am very worried about his mental health as his behaviour is becoming increasing irrational. Whenever he meets new people he introduces himself as someone else and then keeps up this charade until I or one of my other friends informs the "victim" otherwise. I just don't know what this world is coming to.
PS My friend also has a chronic fullet (front mullet) that just will not subside, even when his hair has been heavily waxed/gelled.

Dear Aunt Emily,
Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou. Your advice has been invaluable. I have been putting a great deal of thought into this matter thanks to your guidance. Given the comment above, your latter suggestion is becoming increasing valid as a path of action and will be receiving some deep consideration.
Once again, i would like to thankyou for your kind support.
Yours Faithfully, Thomas James

Dear Aunty Emily, If the Fonz was the coolest guy in Happy Days, then why didn't he hang out with people his own age?

Dear Fred, Have you ever thought that maybe your friend is on drugs? Try to get a sample of his hair while he is not looking to take to the drug-testing people. Make sure he doesn't notice you doing this, or it couldlook like you are cracking onto him. Anyway, if the test comes back positive, you should organise one of those sessions where you and all of your friends and your friends family confront him at the same time. If they come back inconclusive, or negative, then just deal with it, or get some new friends.
Love Emmy.

Dear Aunty Emily, thank you for setting me straight. - Mark.
Here's another one: how do I go about starting a serious band, and more specifically, finding a drummer?

What, no one in perth can drum?
Seriously, I am trying to start a band, and I thought you would be the right person to ask.
