Soul friend? I am just going on what the two words mean, not on whether there is an additional meaning when you put them together .

You are indeed, there is.

I was going to try "Spirit Guide", like the Native Americans, but I haven't done too well at your quizzes so far, Riadach.

Well thankfully no one has mentioned soulmate, which was the obvious wrong answer, though Johnfás did come very close.

Does it mean twin ? Or Guardian Angel ?

Priest?

I'm going with some sort of Soul/Spiritual Advisor.

Is it leopardstown? I should really know if it is because I know the daughter of the course manager.

I'm not much into racing myself but I have been to Leopardstown on a few occasions for the fun of it. More into show jumping.
