Apart from offering a good opportunity to waste a bit of time, blog memes are usually pretty tiresome and once I've completed them I usually decide against posting them.

With what shall hitherto be known as 'Aniston's relent', we've come a step closer to the possibility of a Friends film this week. The Guardian's super Anna Pickard asks quite rightly "What's in it for the fans?" All the loose ends had been tied by the end... hadn't they?
