over time we have become great friends and he has advised me on loads of things , as i have him of course , but we have kept clear of the religious stuff , you should never discuss religion or politics with friends , its the easiest way to end the friendship , but once , just before he sent that obnoxious little brat , ( his words not mine ) mark , to wake you up i asked him if converting to a nun might help your plight but he said no it was almost over , and being a nun would only mean that i would have to break my vows later on , so i didnt , thank god .
