I would just like to say I absolutely adore my baby brother (almost 16!!) Gavin He is the wisest, funniest and kindest person I know He is experiencing major peer pressure and rather than be infulenced he has said 'no thank you, you're my friends but I'm not interested'. He worried about me and his family constantly and EVERY DAY tells me how much he loves me! Love a very proud sister becx

Definately agree with that! We used to fight like no ones business and call each other every hurtful name under the sun! But let anybody else call him when I was around and I was like a rottweiler

I was v. jealous of my brother (I'm the eldest) and we fought like cat and dog in childhood. It's only since we've been grown up that we've been able to have a conversation without arguing! He is quite unlike me in personality (though we do look alike), but blood is definitely thicker than water and there is a special sibling bond. nell

You are more than welcome Bryan! Even though my brother can be a pain in the posterior region I dont know what I would do if he wasnt around

Brian I dont think there is any difference if he was your half brother or "full" brother! The simple fact was he was YOUR brother and Im sorry you no longer have him around Bev

There are just three of us. I'm the only girl and have two younger brothers. I live in Surrey but my brothers both still live in Scotland not far from my parents so keep a watchful eye on them which is a comfort. Unless they escape and go globe trotting, which they do. One brother is fair haired and looks like Kenny Dagleish and the other is dark haired and looks like Dave Seaman. Hey dad can I ask you a question? Love them dearly. It's nice having brothers.
