I have to wait for someone to talk about something Howard Jones or Nick Kershaw might have referenced. It's a challenge at times I will admit. The one and only Nick Kershaw , that's a name I've not heard for a while 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's assume we don't use nuclear weapons. I am sure that our military would give a damn good account of themselves. But would the general public flock to the cause? How many foreign nationals would fight for us? Would people seek refuge in Ireland and/or France? How much of the UK would we be willing to lose? Would we leave the Falklands and Gibraltar unprotected? Which celebrities would grab a rifle? Who would shell St Andrews first? I think some foreign nationals would want to fight for us, but in all honesty, by the time they get a sponsor and a visa and prove they have a regiment to go to they could be too little too late. Though on the plus side, the Russians would have to go through the same process and wouldn’t be allowed to exchange currencies on the ferry so unless the petrol stations of Kent are happy to take rubles and cabbages, they’d be ****. On a slightly more serious note, don’t let the hype about non binary vegans fool you. I think we’d be ok. Nobody can possibly know if their own reaction would be fight or flight. But several of you would be welcome in the newly formed state of Cymruski. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just random lines it's got to fit the message you're trying to relay, but you say the exact line in the voice or accent from the film. Ever since Kevin the teenager was able to emulate Peter Higgs and say bollocks when he burped I have done so, my eldest lad does so now as well. I hope his children do as well. Mrs not overly impressed but that used to doing it could never stop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it before Friends or a lazy TV exec stealing the format cause the MO seemed to be identical It's the anti friends. If I had to say a sitcom it was furthest from, it's Friends. That said Courtney Cox appears in an episode from the same year she started in Friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working with machines that break down all the time I use 'Have you tried turning it off and on again?' and 'Are you sure it's plugged in?' in a dodgy Irish accent a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they’re basically the same concept. Group of friends living in New York, a couple live in the same apartment block across the hall from each other. Seinfeld did it better, but the style of sitcom is extremely similar. I’d wager if Seinfeld didn’t exist then neither would Friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
