Yup, it's very tricky. I rarely see him these days as I'm not in Glasgow anymore. When I do talk to him on the phone I tend to steer him clear of those sorts of topics but if you give him long enough he tends to drift into them. It's abhorrent stuff. It saddens me as we grew up together, a friendship that started with a playground game swap.Tempy wrote:You might have to have some difficult conversations with him then. Or choose not to.
