to think that Ross was in the wrong not Rachel? That Emily wasn't an absolute cow? Please can we have an old school friends debate?!

[MandyMcFly]

Just been watching friends...and it's been a long time since I have had a truly deep and meaningful debate about it haha.

Emily - after her and Ross split for good they acted like she was a complete bitch. Well, no actually...Ross said Rachel's name at the wedding, but she went ahead with the service. Then decided to give him another chance and went to the airport to see Ross leaving for their honeymoon with Rachel, but she still was willing to give him another chance on the conditions that he didn't see Rachel anymore. Now I know that obviously they couldn't have had Ross not seeing Rachel, but Emily wasn't actually unreasonable was she? From her point obviously it wasn't a lot to ask and she was very fair giving so many chances, right?!

And what does everybody think about the 'We Were On A Break!!' thing?

[thinks about things too much emoticon]

Now, no spoiling my fun, telling me to get a life please.

We also use Friends quotes as normal chatter.

Not just a hat rack my friend is often used.

And we both mutter 'trapped in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre' while in the bank.

And, er, 'were you or were you not on a gay cruise?' when bil is applying make-up (he's a ballet dancer.

Or 'you have to stop the cue tip when there's resistance' if somebody's being particularly Joey like.

And, um I could go on. I won't. It's highly embarrassing.

Yes, yes, yes showofhands I do that all the time, it is a way of life now and my DH is cottoning on to my wierdness and replying as one of the Friends would!

We use the hat rack one frequently lol.......

...and "Oh my God Oranges" when we see something exciting!

The best phrase ever uttered on Friends was by Chandler and it was when Ross was moaning about not being able to choose between Rachel and Julie and he said "Yes, and my wallet's too small for my fifties, and my Diamond shoes are too tight!".

Oh I do often use that on - I love it!

And the hat rack.

Oh and when Rachel's sister pierces Emma's ears. Ross's reaction is the funniest thing, the way he looks at Emma trying to work out what is different and then leaps up with his hand over his mouth in horror. "Did SHE do this?" pointing at Amy.

Have not read whole thread, but wanted to add my wee bit.
In the lead up to Ross & Emily's wedding, remember the name of the guy Rachel was dating - Joshua? I watched a LOT of Friends (all of them) because I was very ill, and our son is called Joshua because I found loved that name (DH still thinks I came up with it randomly) :D

One of my favourite Friends episodes is 'The one with Ross' teeth' - wow they were WHITE!

Oh yeah definitely, if I'm feeling a bit crap I'll often say I'm feeling 'floopy' or 'chaotic and twirly' - they are Phoebe quotes.

And if DH is trying to reassure me about something but not being particuarly convincing I'll say - 'Aw, look at you making up crap for me!' (What Rachel says to Ross when she's in labour!)

Another Rachel one 'No Uterus, No Opinion' about her braxton hicks when Ross says most women dont feel them. I used that one a lot when I was pregnant

Aw that's sweet angelbabe Joshua is a lovely name! Yeah I remember him, because the guy who played him was later in The OC wasn't he? Anybody watch the OC? He was Jimmy Cooper and I was like omg it's Joshua!

Yeah the one where Ross bleaches his teeth was on E4 today, so funny. I also love the one where he can't get his leather pants back on!

Ooh yeah, 'No uterus, no opinion' got repeated a lot when preg with DS, will be the same this time round I suspect!
The leather trousers one is also awesome! (digs out Friends box set to watch)

Dont spoil it for me
We are watching Friends from the start and are on series 4
I have never seen it and dw sister has got the box set and is lending it to us

It is jolly good thinks me

Never seen Friends?

That's like Ross saying he doesn't like ice cream....

Mandy, you don't need to clarify which episodes the quotes are from. I think we've all proved our obsession credentials.

I wish I hadn't seen Friends. Watching them for the first time must be great.

'no uterus, no opinion' was very funny.

As was 'Weeeeeeeneeeer' on the telephone to the doctor when Emma was a baby.

Eddies watching Joey sleep was sooo funny.

They - were on - a break!!

I love them all, but Ross probably the least because he became very odd in later series.

I likd the rich boyfriend of Monica's best - that she met when she had those blow up boobs in the diner.

Phoebe speaking to June Whitfield and saying GlouCESter!

Only two series have come close - This Life and Gavin & Stacey.

Oh and the one where Chandler went to Joey's tailor... lol

Oh pocketmonster that is my favourite line in Friends ever.

"Yes, yes it is. IN PRISON!" :o

Ohhh Pocketmonster I absolutely love love LOVE Gavin & Stacey. I have watched my DVDs over and over, me and DH quote it all the time!

Sorry ShowOfHands I forgot I'm amongst fellow fanatics

OMG OMG OMG I love Friends, your so going to regret starting this thread, i would literally pick Friends as my specialist subject on Mastermind

I loved Phoebe and Mike, i loved Chander and Monica and im really soppy so i would have been outraged if Rachael and Ross didn't get together.

Emily was shrill i didn't like her or Julie or Bonnie or Mona or Charlie actually...

I liked Richard but not David.

I liked Tag but not Joshua.

I wanted Joey to end up with someone but instead he went and did a crap spin off.

It was never going to work, Friends worked because they bounced off each other so well.

I was devastated when Friends finished it has brought me so much laughter, (Phoebe meeting Mikes parents anyone?!)

Panzee 'there was definite..CUPPING!!'

Everyone says me and DP are Monica and Chandler, DP says im like Phoebe thought becuase im alternative...

And of course 'Joey DOESN'T SHARE FOOD' is a classic.

Ohh I love it when Phoebe meets Mikes parents: 'So where does everyone summer?'
and 'Thirteen bathrooms in this place, and I threw up in the closet!'

Mona was the only one of Ross' girlfriends I actually liked. DH says I am like Monica. Whenever I am being a bit uptight about cleaning his sings 'Remember, feet on the floor or come over no more!'

I regularly sing at DP when he is in a miz 'who's the bitterest man in the living room... the bitterest man in the living room...'

dh and i have to watch friends in bed every night otherwise we cant sleep, currently rewatching series 2 for the billionth time. watching the one where ross and rachel.. you know tonight

i didnt realise ross was such a twunt (although he did spawn the holiday armadillo) favourite episode is the one where noones ready!!

Oh Titsalina - am guilty of singing that too

Emily was just dreadful - my least fav friend's character ever. Sorry but no sympathy for her (but I accept I'm probably being mean).

They were on a break!
