I don't even know his name, just his face, anyway everytime he talks to me he goes on about random shit that I have not got a clue about. He thinks I'm someone else and he keeps going on about my dad and asks if he's still doing this and that. He doesn't know my dad and has got me mixed up with someone else, but this has been going on for years and each time I just go along with him for some reason. On Friday apparently I'd just come out of prison and he was asking me how long I'd been out for. My reply was like, yeah been out of prison for a bit now, then he would go on about this other bloke again who's my dad. I just have not got the heart to tell him I have not got a clue who he thinks I am. Like I said it's been going on for years now.

It's an episode in friends where it transpires that one of Chandler's co-workers has been under the impression Chandler's name is Toby for years and Chandler never corrected him as he doesn't see him too often. The work colleague is up for promotion which would mean Chandler would have to maintain the "Toby" charade a lot more. Hilarity ensues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm concerned you know that much about that heap of shite of a programme. I've never got American humour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is mainly due to a winning combination of constant repeats on channel 4, a massive crush on Jennifer Aniston and a lacklustre social life on my part. At least the repeats on channel 4 have ceased. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 27, 2017 Author VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2017 Friends is great. It has crap episodes but generally it's good. But I didn't realise until years later how like Seinfeld it is (probably because I didn't really watch Seinfeld until a few years ago). Seinfeld I think was the game changer for that kind of show. Friends just carried it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I saw something with idris Elba in it where it heavily criticised friends for not having any black characters in it, at the time it was something I'd never thought about but I think the only real recurring black character was the dinosaur doctor woman who leaves Joey for Ross in about series 7, other than Joey the Italian American it has hardly any diversity in it and doesn't really represent New York's demographic cant shake that when I watch it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Anyone familiar with pseudomonas bacteria infection? My son has got it and his ears are pissing with discharge. Unbeknown to the nurses up our doctors, no antibiotics will treat it, so he's got to go into hospital and be put on a drip to clear it up. He's been on three different antibiotics this week and she went to try him on another one, but my wife refused and demanded to see a certain doctor. I've always had trouble with my ears and it looks like my son will follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People complain but don't create anything themselves, want a show about a multi diverse group of people? Then go about making one instead of criticising others creations.

Rugeley Villa Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 So been and had my packing out of my ear today, and I was in my work gear. Shorts that show a bit and a black sabbath t-shirt. Turns out the two nurses which weren't too bad looking at all were both sabbath fans. Both had been to watch them in the 70s. Listening to their memories made the removal of the packing so much more enjoyable. Rock on.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
