The song is called "Only Time" by Enya. It's one of the singles from her new CD "A Day Without Rain."

excuse you? I'm new here you ignorant S.O.B Who the hell are you to question me. I had never been to this Mofo'in newsgroup and its was 5 in the morning.

newsgroup

Don't mind him, he's new here too. And doesn't appear to understand much about this group or how to be polite to people either. (You might not want to call us a Mofo'in group either, if you want to get along happily.)

It's not definitively "The One With", so the [address] on him. TO is "The One" but the W can be Where, When, With, Without... it changes. There have been too many episodes for there to be a definitive answer to that one.

Remember the statement that people are human on the other side. Well, this comment was a little mean. Some people are new to this and just don't know what the abbr. mean. You should be the one to get a clue.

"The One When".. All friends episode titles start with "the one when".......

It was a joke by the makers, because when someone talks to other people about a programme they've seen they always says "did you see the one when......."

As for the issues... well there are plenty here with issues <bg>

TOW stands for either "The One With" or "The One Where", depending on the context. More rarely, there's also been TOA for "The One After" or "The One At", TOI for "The One In", TOO for "The One On", and TOT for "The One That" or "The One The".

I'm not quite sure what you're referring to here, Christineee, possibly the latest issue of American magazine "Entertainment Weekly"; which has a big feature on "Friends", which we Europeans are hoping to receive.

If you look carefully, you'll see I did include "TOT".

That was not a proper episode title, just a promotional gimmick that was used for video sales, and then seems to have escaped.

The TOT was a play with words...it was meant to be read "the one that was left out...The One Hundredth", anyways, probably wasn't that funny.

Are you sure about the title "The One Hundredth"?

I use the Warner Brother's Episode guide as a reference http://www2.warnerbros.com/web/friendstv/episode.jsp?season=5 And this is where I find the title. Also, It may help in clarifying the counting issue. I assume the WB knows how they counted and titled them.

Ah Robert, the hazards of plays upon words. :)

I am, the official FAQ is, the TV listings magazines at the time the episode was first aired in America and then later in Britain were, but since the video came out some people have not been so sure at all.

Huh...does the same go for the pilot? I have seen it referenced as the pilot and TOW Monica's new roommate. Which one of those are the correct official title?

That's a tricky one, as originally it had no title. It was and always will be the pilot episode, but it was never "Pilot" or "The Pilot".

A number of invented titles are in circulation, but most of them do not truly fit the style of "Friends" titling for one reason or another.

However, the most popular choice is "TOW Monica Gets a Roommate" which fits in nicely. I like it, I'll use it, but it has no true standing.

You try and help people. Try and impart a bit of experience. Try and join in on the group and you get labelled as a troll. Thanks very much, it's nice to see we all except criticisms so gracefully.

All Friends episodes are named "The One With/Where (fill in blank)"

Issues? I dunno. I have no issues. "AngelicPsycho xo" wrote in message news:[email]...
