Ross, my baby - I watch a particular advert, and I think of you and Tinky. the song is going over and over in my mind.
You know the one:
"F-R-I-E-N-D-S,
Do you really need them?
Yes!
If you haven’t got a friend, then you’re just you.
There’s half as many things that you can do.
Who’s going to tell you that you’re not a brat, if not your best friend? Do you recall when we did that? Yes!
Sharing – the brilliant jokes we’ve had throughout the years (good times together).
It’s not the same when you’re not there. Friends.

Alalapupulala my sweet. Maybe - just maybe - you could let Tinks know that friends come in many disguises, and there might be room for one more in his life? I know someone who's very keen to try, and whilst he couldnt fill your very generous boots, he could scuff around in a fair old approximation if Tink will let him.
