“Friendship,” wrote CS Lewis, “is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You, too? Thought I was the only one.’” That said, the argument between “opposites attract” and “birds of a feather flock together” continues, not to mention the fact that the reason we choose our friends is perhaps less honourable than we might think.

No matter what the reason, we need friends, and they need us. And it seems we have one for every occasion, be it for a cuppa and a catch-up, a nibble and a naughty night out, or a workout and a whine. And despite having a pal for every occasion, having a best friend is a huge bonus in life. That special friend who is always there – through good and bad times – despite our claims that our friendship is without agenda (because it doesn’t really matter, does it?!).
