Happy Friday Y'all 🙌

After a recent writing activity it's come to my attention that we've never discussed Friends 😱  my brain just can't comprehend it... How? Why? Don't believe me, check it out here...

Well, it ends today! Because if you haven't noticed the Atlassian Community is a lot like Friends...

  • 🍕  we eat lots of pizza like Joey,
  • 👩‍💻  we have jobs that no one can remember like Chandler,
  • ✨  we've got positive vibes like Phoebe,
  • 👨‍🏫  we teach others like Ross,
  • ☄️  we are determined like Monica,
  • 💙  we've found our passion like Rachel, 
  • and if you haven't worked it out already, "We'll be there for you" 🎶 

@ABR as your Community Friend, I wrote this one for you and I wish you and your family a speedy recovery 💙

So, I invite everyone to join me for a Friends Friday Fun challenge, I accept gifs, favourite episodes, quotes, trivia etc. C'mon everyone, Let's go!

Thanks @Pramodh M I think it's all stemming from the fact I'm rewatching Friends at the moment 😅

I'm outing myself... I've never watched Friends. 😨

Where can I stream it?

Oh, and I'm now open for reactions like the following one:

Accordingly I'm the odd one here. 😂

And this is why these Friday Fun topics are so important, that gif sums me up well 😅

All joking aside, I actually know a few friends who haven't seen even a snippet of a Friends episode so you're not alone @Svenja Lorenzen . 

As for streaming, try Netflix in the UK they have every series on there 😄  The first episode will be like...

@Svenja Lorenzen no judgement here.  I believe @Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_ is correct Netflix is your best bet right now!

Hmm. It's been years since I watched Friends, although just last month I was in front of the Plaza Hotel in NYC and started singing the theme song to my wife while asking her if she wanted to jump into the fountain - so I guess it's been etched deep into my brain.

I am sure at some point I wanted to be Joey, but I really always identified as a Ross.

Here's my contribution, which is basically the answer I've given to every question over the past pandemic-crazed two years.

Once you've watched Friends it's etched in your brain for life but the more important question, did you jump in the fountain?? ⛲️

Smelly Cat gets stuck in my head an abnormal amount of times per year.

Ahh a classic, out of interest does it happen every time you see a cat or does it just sneak up on you? 😅

@Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_ It's completely random. But also triggered every time I see Phoebe or the topic of Friends lol.

Absolutely amazing post @Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_!  You have completely out-done yourself this time!

 

I will admit that I didn't intentionally watch Friends, much like I never intentionally watched Grey's Anatomy or Gilmore Girls.  My mom & my sister were always watching them and I just happened to be in the same room playing my Gameboy.  But, I always seemed to end up paying more attention to the shows!

Thanks @Jimmy Seddon 😄  The fact that I can see Friend + Gilmore Girls + Gameboy in the same sentence is absolutely amazing! I've still got my Gameboy tucked away and as for Gilmore Girls, the show is a bit like Friends for me, quite often on repeat 😅

I'm not a huge fan of Friends, but the other day I was channel surfing and learned that Phoebe had a twin sister named Ursula.  It was about the video Joey found...

Ah the video 😳  I actually just finished watching that episode the other day! Keeping the mystery for those who haven't seen it I opted for a younger Phoebe and Ursula moment 😄

Dear @Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_ ,

Thanks once again for filling in for me! 

It's such a fun topic to talk about!

Would you believe it, I discovered Friends with my teenage daughter, although I had known about the series since my teens! It's been our series since then! We have had such fun times around it!

I'm honestly glad I could help! Even though it's only a small gesture, hopefully it was able to bring you some Friday cheer 😊

I must admit I secretly had my fingers crossed you were a fan of Friends and I absolutely love the backstory to your Friends journey! 

I really hope you and your family are feeling a little better 💙
