If a friend does not choose to follow the advice you offer them it is not time to stop being friends with them but time to respect their choice and to support them in that decision

It was nothing to do with me offering advice.

He’s appeared in a film (Shallow Hal) too.

I like his philosophy and his raison d’être.

He’s a 6’7″ giant of a fella from the USA.

From a chatroom perspective I’d stick anybody in room 101 if they continually set out to wind people up or targetted specific individuals with abuse in chat.

Personally, I think Hodgson is as fine a choice as any.
Hugely experienced on many levels.
