Actually, that cleared just about everything up.

Dude, you got mixed up a bit with New Zealand, what with Russel Crowe AND Footrot Flats appearing.

And your forgetting we australians love to steal new zealand things and call them our own... They are my homage to this. Plus Russel Crowe is an australian citizen now.

I think we definately need to see more of Chopper on our screens!

Agreed. But not doing stand up comedy. Yeesh.

Very good summary

I can sum up the UK in 5 seconds, people complained about the "Visit Australia" adverts over here because the word "bloody" was used in the tag line. WTF. Oz here I come...

Neighbours Rules, the've just started to show it in widescreen over here

There was a big revelation on Neighbours last night... I can fill you in if you like...

I also did work experience in the same building they shot it in! Met Dr Carl, Sky, Boyd and Libby! Arent i the lucky one... And Ramsey Street (aka Pinoak Court) is about 10 mins drive from my house.

You're kidding. It's near Doncaster? Wow. I had no idea. I gotta go round there and film my own episode.

I know many people will deny it, but every single Australian has ties to Neighbours somehow. It's like a six degrees of separation thing.

My sister had a boyfriend who played a mailman in one episode of Neighbours. The story was like, Flick (remember her?) had a crush on a mailman, and she was waiting for him to turn up, and another one replaced him. So, he played the replacement mailman.

Not only that, but some TV show in the UK did a behind the scenes special on Neighbours and they happened to be filming that particular scene.

Dobbsie: How old are the episodes in the UK? I seem to remember Neighbours went widescreen quite a while ago. Like... years I think.

Yeah its filmed up near The Glen shopping center. And im sure i know someone who told me they knew that mailman too... Wasnt he a price is right model or something?

It was probably my sister that told you. He was an actor, thats all I know. They split up ages ago. Apparently she has/had friends who were regular extras too.

Nah it wasnt her! I think a friends brother went to school with him? Small world...

So what was that revelation on neighbours?

It was reveales that the young fat girl from the bogan family was switched at birth and her parents arent her real parents! Wow did i just blow your mind?

My mind is blown. What a completely ridiculous and unbelievable situation! That doesn't sound like neighbours at all. Are they attempting to explain this not popping up in conversation ever on amnesia. Because you know a good neighbours plotline isn't complete without amnesia.

It's in Vermont South. Six degrees of Neighbours eh?. I once went to school with a girl who dated the half brother (or was it second cousin twice removed?) of one of the girls sister's on Neighbours (I think it was one of the Blakeney Twins, but then again it could have been Harold's wife!) Anyway i got my first HJ from her down the bottom of the school oval in 1985. So you see there is a bit of Neighbours in everyone!

That's stretching it.

Beat this. My uncle lives next door to Lou.

I'm. Not. Joking.

I heard Lou is a punk in real life? That's probably a lie, because the person who told me that told me that Neighbours was filmed in Sydney.

How many chins has Harold got? And Bree, "the young fat girl from the bogan family", is a retard. I want her character to get killed off. Every time they give her I line I want to die.

Lou isn't a punk, he's an old man. Who told you that?

Oh, I just remembered another one.

I went to the same school as Kendal Nunn who was on the show for a year or so. She was kind of replaced by Holly Vallance.

Holly Valance thought she was good enough to quit Neighbours and make a name for herself as a singer. She was wrong.

I don't know who told me Lou was a punk, probably some idiot.

Dont knock Holly Valance! Shes in 2 movies coming out this year! One with...Paris Hilton... The other is a...video game adaption.

On second thoughs - bag away!

needed more food! and aussie music icons!
