Fiction

When Rob's girlfriend asks him to leave London and live with her in Manchester not only will it mean moving cities and changing the only job he's ever had, it'll also mean leaving behind his best mate in the entire world. Believing in love conquering all Rob takes the plunge and, convinced of his ability to make new friends, tries his best. But when six months in he still finds himself without even so much as a regular drinking buddy, he begins to realise that making friends in your thirties can be very hard. But then his luck changes. He finds himself a brand new friend. But there's a problem. Apart from knowing less than nothing about music trivia, football and supermodels, Rob's new friend has one huge flaw. She's a girl.
