I was once on the underground, and it stopped in the middle of the tunnel. All the lights went off in the carriage and all these guys in boiler suits got on the train. I was expecting one of them to say "Take this train to Libya!" but it turned out they were just the maintenence crew.

Ever been in a train that breaks down in the middle of the tunnel, forcing everyone to walk in the darkness to the next station? That's happened to practically everyone I know save me. I feel like I'm missing out.

The Thread That Would Not Die.

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

Don't be a thread Nazi.

Oh, I don't care, it's more amusing than anything else.

I don't care either. That was a subtle attempt to destroy this thread.

I've had to walk from the middle of the tunnel to the station before, it's annoying, but I found it funny, there's something so surreal about walking in a huge crowd in a dark tunnel in complete silence.

like an orgy of silence!

"Life Sucks, Then you Die. The bit inbetween isnt very funny either"

I was once on a train with what seemed to be a trainee driver. He overshot the platform by about twenty feet, so everyone alighting from the front carriage had to climb down onto the tracks, including one lady who looked about sixty-five, poor dear.

I was proud of my fellow Melburnians that day - I was going to help her, but I couldn't get past the small crowd who beat me to her.

This still doesnt excuse your fellow Melburnians from the heinous act that was the creation of "Neighbours"

No, not really.

CC28 - I swear, this is completely true! by DexX 5-05-01

Our story begins in an Australian TV studio... Bruce, I'm confused... your soapie is despised in this country and rates terribly. Why keep making it? Let me put it this way... the pound sterling is strong against the Aussie dollar at the moment. Oh, excuse me, we're ready to film... It's just no use, Barry. I used to be smitten with you, but... but... it's over! You can't do this to me! You can't! Ah, stuff it, time to split your head open. Gabba gabba hey! In a typical British home... Okay... the kids're locked in their rooms, the wife's tied up 'n gagged in the kitchen. Time to settle down an' watch my favourite telly programme... Tonight on Neighbours And Away...

While good quaility Australian dramas rate well over here, actual soaps have relatively low ratings. The shameful fact is that they are made to sell overseas, much like Baywatch. The companies that make them get a lot of money out of it.

and thus we are stuck with them forever more and the international hatred perpetuates itself throgh the medium of "your country is shit because of neighbours"

The only people to blame for Neighbours and Home and Away are the morons who watch it. ITV and Channel 5 are the only channels that are consistently shite and they both have Home and Away in common.

The BBC save their reputation with Monty Python.

Hey! EVERYBODY needs good Neighbours!

sorry.

I spent a summer in London once and was introduced to the fine art of Neighbours-bashing. That was in 1989...Is it still being produced? If so...egad.

Weirdest TV show to cross the pond (IMHO): The Waltons. One of the flatmates where I was staying really loved it. I'd never watched it in the US, and was amazed that it was even more cornball than I'd imagined.

I hate the Waltons, and Little House on the Prairie.

and The Good Life come to think of it!

hmm, I feel a new Christmas series coming....

Does anyone over here actually watch Home and Away? Surely it can't be too long before C5 cancels it.

Home and Away stopped being good when all the nice-looking girls left and were replaced with ugly ones.

Home and Away stopped being good when Mr Fisher became a good guy and turned out to be Bobby's father.

Fuck, I shouldn't have said that...

Home and Away stopped being good on the second bar of the theme music in the first ever episode.

---
"Life Sucks, Then you Die. The bit inbetween isnt very funny either"

Not that the first bar was up to much.

-BOBBY, I AM YOUR FATHER

-NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE, NNNOOOOOO!!!!!!

Excuse me, I think you will find the actual quote was:

"No, that's not true! That's impossible! You're a total ratbag, Mr Fisher, now rack off!"
