Emily and Phoebe

The other day, Phoebe was watching a TV programme called Kitchen Nightmares, starring sweary chef Gordon Ramsey.

Now, inevitably, she has shocked Emily by using Chef Ramsey's favourite Anglo-Saxon epithet.

"Phoebe, don't say that word! Say..." she pauses while her computer-like memory scans every episode of Friends for an inoffensive alternative "... darn instead!"

Oh yes, thanks to Star Channel (and a few series we have on video and DVD), Friends is a big part of Emily's life (Phoebe isn't so into it - yet). I gave up watching after about the third round of repeats (when was that - about 2006?) but Emily can't get enough of it. She even learnt how to work the video recorder just so she can record Friends if she's going to be out!
