Well lad, what the craic? I'm gonna head back over your way for a weekend near the end of January once I have my exams out of the way. Are you up for pints?
Aw mate, that's really heartfelt. You're an awesome bloke, and anyone (me included) would be lucky to get to call you a friend. Go out, meet people. The tinternet is great for what it is, but there are wonderful people out there too, who'll adore someone as sweet and funny as you.
I'd definatly give you a hug now. And take you out for tea and cake.
