In America, our "mate" is usually our love interest but I get the feeling that "mate" among the British can be either a friend/buddy or their love interest. Can someone (British) clear this up for me?

They are talking about their Aussie mates who teach them how to play cricket etc.

i think of being an old soul is greater a form of mind than the effect of distinctive stories in this earth. i think of that one and all people accessible share some portion of the stories of human beings who might have lived in yet over again. this is my opinion that each and each being has a different and individual soul that starts with that being and develops with it in accordance to this is unique features and stories. It does no longer make any distinction to me if my soul had lived 1000 lives or no longer. perhaps our perceptions may be transmitted by time and area yet from my commentary of ways we develop up it merely seems improbably that every person human beings has an entire soul on the time of start. If we did, till finally what time do you think of it would stay dormant in the previous becoming portion of the recent soul. (it merely does not look attainable once you check out it that way does it) yet I do have self assurance that an 'old soul' might adjust to many of the features pronounced above. those that seem to be greater conscious of the workings of the worldwide probable do have a greater more suitable and perceptive mind and are waiting to reason issues out for themselves quite than being informed what their actuality is meant to be.

hehehe tourists :). Im aussie its just a friendly gesture. Some people do it without even knowing, subconciously. Its a good way to make strangers feel welcome when they are feeling uneasy (similar to bro if yo from the hood). I think its like the japanese -chan -san -neechan etc.
