    For the sake of a friendship, please don't put someone you like in such an awkward and risky position.

    Sorry, but you can have whatever advice people feel they want to give.

    This is a crazy idea which has disaster written all over it (for you!!).

    Thanks Chr15, i understand advice but as yet only Apples has gave any sort of advice which was basically assuming I was going to ask someone, I do understand as people do have freedom of speech but I was asking for actual advice not a lecture, questions and your reply.

    I dont know why people do respond if it is not constructive or helpful in any way.

    Trust me, the advice you have been given is constructive.

    Maybe Apples should direct that question to your brother.

    Thanks although my view is that I would never dream of responding to a post unless I was going to be helpful to the OP.
