Friends was the most popular sitcom of the 90s, and it still holds a special place in our hearts today. 

The hilarious characters taught us so many life lessons throughout 10 wonderful seasons (that are ALL on Netflix now, so we have no excuse). 

Check out the 13 things we learned from our favourite New Yorkers…

1.Not everyone likes to share food, and that's okay.

2. How to charm the opposite sex.

3. The difference between breaking up, and being on a break!

4. Go easy on the fake tan for goodness sake.

5. How to lift furniture…

6. True love DOES exist!

7. Sign language for everyday use.

A reunion might be off the cards, but Friends fans may soon be able to recreate some of their favourite comedy moments with the launch of the Central Perk coffee shop chain.

The fictional New York hang-out played a huge role in the 90s sitcom, with Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe and Joey spending pretty much all of their free time there.

According to reports, legal documents obtained by The Blast state that earlier this month, Warner Bros. Entertainment secured a copyright to use the name Central Perk for "coffee shop and café services".

The production company have also filed to use the name for a number of different products including toys, board games and slot machines.

The news comes after a parody café under the same name was shut down in Toronto in 2016, following opposition from Warner Bros. legal team.

Meanwhile, a trailer for Friends: The Movie began doing the rounds earlier this month, showing the old gang back together again.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be a fake – but hey, a girl can dream!

As hard and all as it is to believe, there are people out there who have never actually watched Friends.

While the vast majority of us here at SHEmazing HQ have an encyclopaedic knowledge of all ten series, there are other people who have never actually understood the 'pivot' reference.

Eager to remedy this, Netflix announced that they had added each and every glorious episode to their streaming service, ensuring we were all on the same page when it can to the Manhattanites.

Diving head-first into a decade worth of trials and tribulations, new viewers have wasted no time sharing their thoughts on the six-piece, and it makes for some pretty interesting reading.

We mean, take a look at this.

Since Friends arrived on the scene in 1994, the world was hooked. 

As one of the most quotable, memorable shows on television, with a running span of almost 10 years, it' not surprise that Netflix has just added the series to its streaming service. 

The show catapulted David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox to fame, and now we can catch it whenever we see fit on Netflix. 

 

A post shared by Friends (@friends) on

While Netflix claimed that Friends was the show they had always been asked to add to their line-up, the reaction to the news was lacklustre from fans. 

Many complained that Friends is shown as a re-run so often on daytime TV that being able to catch it on Netflix wasn't really a big deal. 

However, for those who have never purposefully sat down with the intention to watch the show, they now have them all lined up and ready to go in chronological order. 

All of the episodes are currently available, so if you have some free time, there's a decade of TV ready and waiting.

Someone put on the popcorn.

If there's one show we can quote in our sleep, it's Friends.

And yes, that may be because we were devoted fans during its ten-year run from 1994 to 2004, but it could also be due to the fact that the hugely popular show is rarely off our screens.

With re-runs aplenty on TV, it's perhaps no surprise that Netflix was met with a relatively subdued response when they hinted they were about about to add the series to their service.

Using the show's title template for their announcement, they tweeted: "The One with the Show Everyone's Been Asking Us to Add."

Unfortunately, it seems that those who have been doing the asking weren't actually online when the tweet appeared as the response was pretty damn lacklustre.

"I fricking LOVE Friends, BUT it is literally on UK TV every single day. There is absolutely no need for this monstrosity," wrote one.

"Friends is literally on several times a day every single day, nobody is missing it. The Office US however…." hinted another.

"It's on TV all day, every day. KEEP IT and give us every season of RuPaulsDragRace All Stars please," requested someone else.

Well, that went down well…

Falling out with a best friend if never pleasant, in fact, it's kind of awful – and it's even worse when you're the one in the wrong.

However, no matter how broken things seem in the immediate aftermath, there are steps you can take to put your friendship back on the right track.

After all, it was Saint Francis himself who famously said “a quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.”

1. Admit you were wrong

If something you said or did was to blame for your falling out, admit you're at fault and deal with the consequences. 

Don't make excuses, apologise sincerely, and grovel like your life depends on it.

2. Don't get other people involved 

Some people might suggest finding a mutual friend to mediate the situation, but in reality, this is a discussion that needs to happen one-on-one. 

The more people involved, the messier it gets and the last thing you want to do is fall out with anyone else. 

3. Be honest

Tell the the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Once everything is out in the open you can begin to move forward  – and who knows, maybe it'll all just be a funny story one day.

4. Let her be mad

If you're in the wrong, suck it up and don't retaliate. 

Sure, she might call you some terrible names or bring up every nice thing she's ever done for you, but just remember that emotions are high and she (probably) doesn't mean what she's saying. 

5. Sort it out ASAP

After letting the dust settle for a day or two, don't waste any time before sitting down to hash it all out. 

Leave it too long and you'll run the risk of entering that awkward state of friend limbo when you're both too afraid to text each other (even though you both want to).  

6. Laugh it off

If there is any funny side to the situation, take it and run.

And if not, try a private joke and wait for the reluctant smile to form before you both break out in a fit of giggles that'll leave you gasping for air.

Pretty soon you'll have forgotten what you were fighting about in the first place.

Sometimes we go on Facebook and blindly scroll through our feed.

By now, a lot of our Facebook friends are either people who were in our transition year class in secondary school, or our mum's aunt's best friend.

Yes, we have a real friends on there too, but how often do you commincate with them solely through the site?

Well, according to new research, we're all on Facebook just to judge each other.

Linguistics lecturers Philip Seargeant and Caroline Tagg wanted to inviestigate “incidents where online communication has gone awry – where people have accidentally given offence, or been offended by what other people have written or shared”.

They surveryed 100 FB users and found that the majority of people continue to use the site even though it often annoys them.

However, instead of confronting the users that are annoying you, many preferred to “silently watch them – and perhaps even take pleasure from judging them”. Eeek!

The study, which was published in The Conversationist, saw that as well as being provoked by extremist or ill-informed views (homophobia, racism, etc), people are also annoyed by the users who share their daily routines or constantly self-promote themselves.

The researchers found that many Facebook users simply don't de-friend an annoying person because it would complicate real-life friendships.

“None of the people in the study, however, said that they’d reduced their use of Facebook because of the frequent offence they experienced from using it,” said Philip and Caroline.

“Logging onto Facebook gives you the chance to be indignantly offended (or maybe just mildly piqued) by other people’s ill-informed views and idiosyncratic behaviour.

"And there’s a surprising amount of pleasure in that,” they concluded.

Can you believe it's been 13 years since Friends left our screens? 

Even though it's been more than a decade, it still remains one of our fave TV shows of all time.

Every utter of the word 'reunion' sends fans into a frenzy, so when we heard that FriendsFest is making a comeback in the UK we legit jumped for joy.

Because what better way to spend a day than celebrating all things Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe?

The festival travels all around the UK from July to September, so if you're across the pond throughout summer make sure to look it up.

During the festival, there will be interactive displays of sets from the first to the last season.

Monica's apartment will be on full show, as well as the Vegas Chapel of Love where Ross and Rachel got married and Monica's original workplace, the Moondance Diner.

But that's not all – there will be a bigger and better Central Perk, an 80s silent disco, and a full-scale set of Joey and Chandler's apartment.

Oh, AND you can enjoy a smelly cat karaoke sesh, a foosball table, food stall and a cocktail bar.

Could it BE any better?

Could this finally be the Friends reunion we've all been waiting on?

According to the latest claims, Lisa Kudrow and Friends co-creator Martha Kuffman are in "serious talks" about a Phoebe Buffay spin-off, and we couldn't be more delighted.

InTouch reports that the pair are keen to shoot a spin-off series and have even been discussing plot lines for the show.

Lisa and Martha are currently working on Netflix series, Grace and Frankie, together, so these "serious talks" could be more than just rumours.

An insider close to the pair said that Phoebe "would probably be divorced now and living back in NYC."

The source also teased a Friends reunion as "it's only natural that she would occasionally bump into her old Central Perk gang.

"It would be an epic TV moment. If there’s anyone that can make that happen, it’s Lisa," added the source.

It has been no secret that fans of Friends want the show back on air, but this could be just the thing we need to fill the void in our hearts.

Breaking up with a significant other is hard. And being friends with that person after a split isn't easy either.

However scientists say that there are seven reasons why we're drawn to staying buddies with our ex's.

According to a study by Justin Mogilski and Lisa Welling at Oakland University published in Personalty and Individual Differences, there are a list of reasons why former partners stay friends.

The study asked 348 volunteers to list why they might do so, and they came up with 153 reasons.

A second group of people were then asked to rate each reason on a scale of of one to five. They were also asked to complete personality questionnaires.

And from that, the researchers were left with seven main reasons:

1. Sentimentality – "They made me a better person" or because you went through a lot together, good or bad.

2. Pragmatism – "They have a lot of money or offer transportation to certain places."

3. Continued romantic attraction – "Still having feelings for one another."

4. Children or shared resources such as a pet, property or a car.

5. Diminished sexual attraction which makes it easier to have a platonic relationship.

6. Social relationship maintenance – "Having friends in common and minimising drama."

7. Sexual access – "To keep having sex with them."

In most cases, friendship wth an ex was described as more tense than other friendships (obvs) and each person had more negative feelings towards their ex than another friend.

So, you can be friends with an ex, but it clearly comes at (some sort of) a price.

Stop everything.

Rumours of a Friends reunion have been circulating for years, and now our prayers have finally been answered.

Friends! The Musical is happening.

Yes, that’s right. Prepare to get up close and personal with some of television's most loved characters –Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, Joey and Chandler are back, only this time they’ll be live on stage, belting out a tune or two.

According to The Huffington Post, the song list includes some hilariously titled hits such as:

  • We Were on a Break!

  • How You Doing, Ladies?

  • The Only Coffee Shop in New York City

  • Oh. My. God. It’s Janice!

  • Could I BE Any More… in Love with Monica?

  • We’ll Always Be There For You

Although the show is not officially endorsed by the creators of the sitcom, the script will focus entirely on the original gang and is set to include some of their most memorable hijinks.

The stage show was written by Bob and Tobly McSmith who have had off-Broadway success with their musical parodies of 90210 and Keeping up with the Kardashians.

Friends! The Musical will open in New York’s Triad Theater this autumn, and with no further shows scheduled, we can only wait in hope that the spectacle will make it across the pond!   

Oh, and while we have you; don't forget to have your say in the inaugural SHEmazing Awards this May! It's time to vote, and you can do it right here!

Is this a case of life imitating art?

Friends star, David Schwimmer, who played Ross Geller in the iconic 90s sitcom, has announced that he and wife, Zoe Buckman, are officially on a break.

The couple, who married in June 2010, confirmed the news in a statement to US Weekly on Wednesday.

 "It is with great love, respect and friendship that we have decided to take some time apart while we determine the future of our relationship."

The pair first met when David was directing the 2007 comedy Run Fatboy Run, in London. Zoe moved to Los Angeles shortly after to be with the actor.

According to The Daily Mail, the Friends actor had previously spoken of the personal difficulties that fame brings and admitted that stardom has impacted his relationships in the past.

David and Zoe confirmed that the well-being of their five-year-old daughter Cleo was their main priority going forward.

 "Our priority is, of course, our daughter's happiness and well-being during this challenging time, and so we ask for your support and respect for our privacy as we continue to raise her together and navigate this new chapter for our family."

We can’t help but see some similarities between the current situation and David’s famous on-again, off-again on-screen relationship with co-star Jennifer Aniston, and we can only hope that the pair will have a happy ending.
