to think that Friends has a lot to answer for.

following on from the other thread, why do people find it so hard to believe that you can remain friends with someone once a relationship has ended? have programmes like friends led us to believe that wanting to remain friends with an ex means that you have unfinished business and will therefore always be one drink away from declaring undying love? why is it acceptable to have friends of the opposite sex but only if they've never seen you naked?

Hang on, didn't Joey kiss Monica in a New Year episode because neither of them had anyone else at the time?

Not sure about that, UQD.

Let me just ask my friend Google...

Google says that they did kiss but in a kind of flash-forward episode (Joey got vairy fat on Monica's cooking) so they did and didn't.

"we are never gonna happen. Ok? Accept that"

"...except what?"

"No, Ross, accept that"

Poor Ross, he was such a puppy.

thay almost got together though didnt they?

so rachel is the biggest tart
then ross and phoebe
then joey
then chandler and monica
