There is nothing worse than the feeling of arguing with a friend. It does happen in most friendships from time to time, but it can usually be easily fixed, depending on the situation. Here are important things to consider when you want to solve a fight with your soul sister and partner in crime. 

Try talking it out
If you want to fix your friendship, don't be stubborn. Try talking it out and be the bigger person.

Try to see things from their point of view
Let them talk and listen to why they are hurt. You may not fully understand it but you have to try.

Don't back stab them
Don't start talking about them behind their back. You're emotional and vulnerable now, but as things cool off you'll regret ever opening your mouth.

Stay off social media
Don't share your current dislike of your friend with the world. This will hurt them further, annoy other people and is not a nice thing to do anyway.

Forgive and forget
Don't bring up past arguments or let this little argument affect your relationship for the next seven years. Learn to let go.

Know when to walk away
If you feel that in general the relationship is toxic, know when enough is enough and be strong enough to walk away and form new friendships.

Ross Geller and Rachel Green are our favourite tv couple of all time. Always have been and always will be. Always envied their relationship? That is because Ross was the definition of boyfriend material.

1. They started off as friends even though he always loved her deep down
Nothing builds a good foundation for a relationship as much as a friendship. He made it out of the friend zone. Ross, we salute you

 

2. He genuinely loved her
Soz Emily girl…

 

3. He chased her to the airport
Hands up who would immediately marry a man who did this for them? We would too!

 

4. THE kiss
If this didn’t win your heart, you’re made of stone

 

5. He wasn’t annoyingly macho all the time
We love him for his sweet nature and all of his different interests. Those dinosaurs though…

 

Now where is that tub of Ben and Jerry's…

We still get a little bit sick in our mouths when we think about that legendary Friends episode in which Rachel proudly presents a Thanksgiving trifle made of raspberry jam, ladyfingers, custard… and a good helping of minced beef.

The recipe disaster has gone down in history as one of the most memorable Friends moments, and now one brave soul has recreated the horrific dish.

Yes, Neil Killham stocked up on mince, custard, peas and all the other essential ingredients and set to work making Rachel's trifle as per her ill-fated recipe. Luckily for us, he live-tweeted the experience so we could see exactly how disgusting a real-life version of the trifle would be.

From the top, it looks grand. We'd happily have a slice:

Once it was all cut up though, it was a VERY different story:

*vomits into office bin*

So how did it taste?

Yup, that seems about right. Don't worry though, Joey will gladly finish it…

There are so many great TV lovestories out there that warm our heart and make us believe in true love. Then, there are these lot…

Destructive, annoying and just downright disastrous, here are eight of TV's worst couples:

Carrie and Big – Sex and the City
They may have ended up together but Big didn't have a patch on Aiden and treated Carrie so badly most of the time. Not that she was much better, mind. 

Rachel and Joey – Friends
Friends rarely got it wrong but this may have been the worst storyline of all time…EVER! 

Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian – Keeping Up with the Kardashians
Anybody could see they weren't meant to be but the lavish wedding went ahead anyway…only to result in Kim filing for divorce 72 days later. 

Blair and Dan – Gossip Girl
Now these two were pretty good together, that we cannot deny – but Dan isn't Chuck. End of.

Barney and Robin – How I Met Your Mother
The married couple survived a few years before getting a divorce – because we all know where Robin's heart ultimately lies (albeit controversially!)

Piper and Alex – Orange Is The New Black
Piper and Alex are very complicated and destructive so far. Their relationship is based on lies and betrayal. However, who knows what will come next season…? Could it be true love?

Jamie and Cersei Lannister – Game Of Thrones
No need to explain this one…*shudder*

Nick and Jess – New Girl
We waited and waited and then it finally happened but it just wasn't…right.

If Ross, Rachel and co. were still meeting at the Central Perk every afternoon these days, things would probably be a little different.

The folks over at Nerdist have re-imagined the popular sitcom as a modern-day show, iPhones and all.

Watching the gang ignore each other as they scroll through their social media feeds makes us a little nostalgic for the phone-free Nineties, and a little sad that this is the reality of life today.

It's enough to make us want to throw away our phones… almost…

Friends star Courteney Cox seems to be going through a difficult time in her life right now.

The actress was spotted looking visibly distressed and upset while talking to a pal in Malibu, California earlier this week. 

The Cougar Town lead burst into tears and held her face in her hands as her friend sat next to her looking downcast.

It's not clear whether the pair were arguing, or if Courteney had received some bad news, but either way the actress appeared drastically different from her usual cheerful self.

Dressed casually and with very little make-up, Courteney looked stunned as she spoke to her friend. 

Later it seemed as if the meeting may have turned into a heated discussion, as she began to become more animated and upset:

The actress got engaged to Snow Patrol frontman Johnny McDaid last June and announced the news on Twitter by sharing a sweet photo of the pair with the caption, "I got engaged to him!"

Although she has yet to reveal the wedding date, Courteney admits she has begun planning – although her ten-year-old daughter Coco is the most excited about it. "Coco spends more time thinking about the wedding than I do," she told Us Weekly recently.

We really hope that whatever Courtney is going through is nothing that can't be solved with the help of a few good friends and family members.

Despite the fact that the last ever episode of Friends aired over ten years ago (we're SO old), Ross and Rachel remain one of those classic couples you think of when true love crops into question. 

Why? Because they were realistic, things were far from perfect, they made mistakes but in the end, it all worked out the way we needed it to. 

Here are 7 lessons Ross and Rachel taught us about love:

1. It’s always important to have fun together

2. A little jealousy is healthy…

3. But too much can lead to disaster

4. It’s not what you say, it’s what you do that counts

5. Things aren’t always black and white

6. You should always support your love's interests…no matter what they are

7. Just because you *really* want something to work out, doens’t mean it will

8. But at the end of the day, true love will always prevail

Aww! We love you as much as you love each other, Ross and Rachel!

What happens when none of your friends are around and you really, really want to go out for a dance? Or maybe you’ve moved to a new area and are having some trouble meeting new people, what then? It can be a lonely experience for many women.

Well, we have the answer for you … Or rather, GirlCrew does! With over 3,000 members in Ireland alone, and groups in London, New York and even Sydney, GirlCrew is THE way to meet new and fun friends.

If you want to go for coffee, the cinema, a night out, a run – anything you can think of, GirlCrew will set you up with other women who want to do the same.

Elva, the genius behind GirlCrew, explained why she decided to set the company up, explaining that all of her friends were busy one evening, and she wanted a night on the tiles (we can totally relate to this, Elva!) 

She explains: 

 “One Friday night in March of this year, I was at home and really wanted to go out and had no one to go out with. My group of friends is small but lovely, so this happens. I knew there had to be at least a couple of other girls who this happens to as well, so i popped up my search for some dancing buddies on Tinder, changing my gender to ‘male’ in the settings so i’d show up to other straight girls and gave it a shot.”

“I thought I’d find two, three, maybe four girls who wanted to go out dancing. But there were MILLIONS! (Well, a hundred within two days.) Since then it’s grown into these awesome little groups of women all over the place who want to just meet up and hang out – whether it’s for gigs, coffees, nights out dancing, running, eating, whatever.”

So, where can you find GirlCrew? A lot of places, it turns out! All around Ireland, GirlCrew numbers are growing by the day and you can now find groups in Cork, Limerick, Kerry, Dublin, Meath, Galway, Belfast, Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford and even more.

If your county isn’t there – check out the website to find out how you can start a GirlCrew group in your locality!  

However, GirlCrew isn’t limited to Ireland so if you have recently found yourself in a far off country and want to meet new friends, you will find groups in New York, Atlanta, Dublin, London and even Sydney!

So, get interacting, ladies and you will soon find yourself with a seriously fun-filled diary with lots of great people!

There’s sad news for Hollywood actor Matt LeBlanc and his partner Andrea Anders as the couple decided to end their relationship after eight years together.

The former Friends star began dating Andrea not long after his divorce from wife Melissa McKnight back in 2006. It has been reported that the relationship has been over for some time now and the couple have not been spotted together since August.

The couple first met on Matt’s Friends spin-off show, Joey in which Andrea played the role of Alex Garrett.

Matt is a dad to one child with his ex-wife Melissa, a ten-year-old daughter, Marina.

Friends star David Schwimmer has been cast as Robert Kardashian Snr. in a new miniseries about the court case surrounding O.J. Simpson. 

The series, called American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson will also star Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J. and Sarah Paulson as the lead prosecutor, Marcia Clark. 

As many fans of the Kardashians may not know, O.J. Simpson and his wife, Nicole Brown whom he was accused of murdering, were good friends of Kris Jenner and her ex-husband, Robert. O.J. is also Kim Kardashian’s godfather. 

We wonder what the family will make of the interesting casting made in their father’s name!

There is a common misconception that our beloved Friends characters Ross and Rachel were absolutely made for each. Yes, it took them a while to both get there, but when they did, it was perfect, blissful, a match-made-in-heaven and so on and so forth.

Eh, wrong.

Here are just five reasons we think this whole made-for-each other belief is totally out of whack.

1. Rachel decided she liked Ross when she saw video evidence that he was mad about her.

Did she genuinely like him or did she really, really like the fact he really, really liked her? Oooh, interesting decision.

2. He almost sabotaged her career by acting like a lunatic and constantly showed up in her new workplace.

Is that the actions of someone who’s ‘made’ for someone else? Dear God, no!

3. When did they actually seem happy together?

If they weren’t bickering about Rachel’s co-worker Mark, they were disagreeing about how they visualised a future together. Just a little something to ponder.

4. OK, this is kind of a biggie, but girls, he did cheat on her mere hours after they decided to take a small step back from their relationship.

Does the person who’s ‘made for you’ jump into bed with someone else after an argument? We hope not!

5. Em, girls, she agreed to marry Joey.

If you’re made for someone, do you accept what you think is a marriage proposal off their best friend mere hours after you gave birth to your supposed soulmate's child? Eh, we think not.

So, he wasn't her lobster, he did not have her best interests at heart, they weren't exactly fun to be around, he cheated on her and she said yes to someone else.

Sorry to say it ladies, but the Ross and Rachel fairytale is just that; a fairytale. Sob!

1. It’s okay not to get on with your ex
This may seem like an obvious one, but allow me to explain and rewind a little. What I mean by this is that self-respect is everything. Like many girls, I was a ‘fixer’. I was obsessed with ‘helping’ one guy in particular, and it did me no favours – to be truthful, it broke my heart multiple times.

It’s okay to decide that someone is not for you to help, that they will never change, and to move on. It’s a level of maturity and self-worth that, in hindsight, took me far too long to reach – but no regrets.

2. It’s never too late to make new friends…
When I was younger, I believed that a person made all of his or her friends at school or college, and that was that. Wrong! Every year of my twenties so far – and not just the college years – has brought new friendships with some of the nicest and funniest people I’ve ever met.

3. …but old ones are more special as time passes
As I get older and busier, the friends that I manage to keep in touch with are the ones that mean more and more to me. It can be really difficult (and I’m still working on it!) but the memories and understanding that I share with these people make it all the more worthwhile.

My oldest and wisest friend recently departed to work with a charity in India. Saying goodbye to her was an utter shock to the system. She’s always been around, my whole life, so waving her off and not knowing when she’ll return was no easy feat. Needless to say she wasn’t the first of my friends to emigrate (and she won’t be the last), but that didn’t make the goodbye any less bittersweet. I’m so proud of her that sometimes I see pictures on Facebook and just well up… it seems that another side-effect of getting older is that I cry more easily!

4. Nobody really knows what they’re doing
I’m just beginning to realise that this whole ‘growing up’ racket is a total myth in itself. One of the most difficult lessons I’ve had to learn is that age is by no means a measure of maturity – this is something I find myself saying to friends over and over again. Some of the most, er, memorable (and, in hindsight, hilarious) encounters and exchanges I’ve had with people have surprised me because I kept thinking ‘surely at his/her age, (s)he should know better?!’ Wrong again! Everybody you meet in life is kind of just bumbling along and winging it to some extent.

5. Super high heels aren’t worth it.
When you’re a bit more comfortable in yourself, you care far, far less about what other people think, and learn how to ‘do you’ with ease. For me, this means sticking to what I like to do, rather than what I think I should do.  I grew up believing quite subliminally that women wore heels for all smart occasions. Well, of course they don’t – they wear whatever they feel good in. Lesson learned: I hate heels, therefore I rarely (if ever) wear them.

Oh, and nobody cares, anyway. They’re all far too busy worrying about what others think of them!
