*Yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of popular TV soap Neighbours. I don't think the forum should let this momentous occasion pass without mention. Here is your chance to share your memories about the world's favourite antipodean soap opera.
Favourite has always been Joe Mangel, when he presented the Big Breakfast it was alright to watch also. Him and the Love Doctor, Carl Kennedy - the man is unstoppable.
Best neighbours moment has to be when some joey character, er, Craig McCluaghccchougheran or someone, landed a tasty looking punch on Paul 'The Villian' Robinson - it looked very good for a tele punch.
I'm a classic man - want the people playing cricket and smashing windows with the theme tune.
As for hott neighbours, well, um, Natile Imrughlouw was nice, even with huge hair. I do remember one episode when Lucy, the little brat, was replaced with a teen brat - it may even have been her grown up, I can't remember - and there was a strange frission of excitement amongst the boys in my school, unsure if they should sound like nonces and call her as being fit, or just admit that she now had tits ergo she was what we were all after. In one moment she stood up off of the sofa, and you could see down her top. My mate had that on video. He liked that moment.

That's the one. She was chunky, and therefore had breasts in a way that automatically all teenage boys are drawn to.
Posted by Thorn Davis (Member # 65) on :
When i was 10, I used to have the raging horn for Kylie Minogue, so I was something of a trend-setter in that depratment. I mean, I really, erally adored her in that way that pre-teen girls get obsessed with guys called Cory (yeah, yeah Misc, I know that's a Simpsons thing get the fuck off my back you fuckstick). I even got unhealthily obsessed with the one where she got married. And erm, I used to write stories abotu her and me, getting into adventures. Ahaha. I still have these somewhere, i think (wank over them, still, every night). It'd get to the point where if I had a sex dream about another character (bronwyn, usually), I'd feel like I'd been unfaithful.
So yeah. Neighbours. At university i was a big fan of Amy, who used to wear hotpants a lot. She was a bit flat chested, but she looked like a fucking minx - 100lbs of raw sex, crammed lithely into exciting tight clothing. I remember one episode where she was doing the hoovering in these tiny shorts. I made sure I caught the 5.35 repeat of that one. I remember she had a geeky boyfriend called Lance and the gimmick was that she was a piping hot nymph, and he was sort of nerdy and sensible. What was the attraction there, I wonder? Maybe 'Lance' was just his nick-name.
I think Anne was in it at this time - she was a bit too lupine for my liking. Every time I saw her I couldn't help but imagine her with a fake bushy tail, and paw-like gloves and fake doggy ears, crawling around on all floors barking. Actually, that's not an unpleasant image.
My housemates used to fancy the Kennedy daughter, Libby, which I could never fathom. She seemed pretty unattractive to me, and she was a fucking irritating character, too. Every word that came out of her mouth made me want to smack her in the gob. I hated Libby, the sanctimonious bitch.

I really fancied her, to the point where I was like love, or some shit like that. I remember her being more attractive than in that picture though.
Later on, it was
Lauren, Lou's daughter. Mmmmm, tasty.

I saw Lauren in a pub in London, about four years ago. It was very disorienting, because I'd been drinking all day, and she was on the telly in the pub and in nthe pub all at the same time, my friends (who'd been to Ikea, and weren't drunk) had to explain it to me about four times. It must have been awkward for 'Lauren', too because it was a very small, quiet pub and I kept pointing and saying things like "So that's Lauren from neighbours on the TV, and Lauren from neighbours at the bar?" as i tried to get my head round what they were telling me. Her mate was fucking fit, too.

There was lovely Kimberley Davies, with her hugely uplifted breasts. Unfortunately, in trying to find a good picture of her, I've been hit with the message "You have attempted to access a website that is restricted because it may violate..." about 30 times, so you're stuck with the one from the good safe BBC.
Also, There were those Alessi Twins, Caroline and Christina Alessi. Didn't one have an affair with another one's husband?
Unfortunately for Neighbours, it will never match up to the beauties in Home and away.

Thorn, Thanks for that images of Anne, that'll be with me for a while. So, yeah Brooke Satchwell was a good reason to watch Neighbours but her relationship with Billy bugged me, he was a bit of a twat.
I know it's wrong but I quite fancy his mum though (Susan Kennedy) she seems to have divorced fuckwit Doctor husband Karl now so they need to give her a boy toy and sex her up a bit.

There was a character called Ann? I'm so relieved. I thought you were talking about Anne Haddy, who played Helen Daniels and who is now deceased.
But anyway....
Your favourite Neighbours characters? Scott and Charlene, Jane and Mike...the golden teens of the late 80s. I'm ageing myself now.
The best Neighbours moment?
The plain-Jane-superbrain "reveal". Listen up Extreme Makeover candidates. You don't need to have your tooth enamel removed with an angle-grinder and replaced with porcelain, your fat sucked out through a tube and replaced with synthetic pig collagen. You need to take your glasses off and get some of those bendy rollers . Mind you I was a bit gutted. I didn't have glasses to take off at the time, but I did get the silly rollers for Christmas.
Post-Neighbours careers?
Got to be Guy Pearce for his film career. Notably Memento and Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

Yes but I was still the spastic who went up to her mate to ask 'Is that 'er off the Telly?', whilst pointing in the startled Lauren's general direction.
Aaahhh Neighbours. How I miss watching you twice a day, and the endless debates over who we would rather roger out of Libby, Mrs Kennedy, Sarah or Madge, and who would win in a fight between Karl and Phil.

One of them had a wonky mouth. And didn't they both marry Paul? The best ever Neighbours moment was when wacky doctor Clive gave Lucy an emergency tracheotomy on the dining room table. Or was it Daphne giving birth with her tights on? At Des' grave or something. I was young, I can't recall.
Also, I was into neighbours before any of my peer group, due to spending 3 months prone on the sofa at age ten following a botched appendectomy. That was when Max had daily battles with Dan and Shane (later of Flying Doctors) Ramsey and Scott was played by shady character Darius Perkins. Who had dark hair and was mysteriously reincarnated into Jason Donovan after a small car accident and a few days off screen.

One of my favourite episodes was when Joe Manglez said something like 'awwww look at Bouncer asleep! He's plum tuckered out! I wonder what he dreams about?' and the camera panned in on the ozzie mutts sleeping face and cut to a Bouncer dream sequence of him running, jumping and carrying a bone in his mouth complete with vaseline around the edges of the lens. It was a classic moment in soap history.
About the twins boofing the same guy: If you were going to cheat on your wife, would you do it with the twin? I mean, she may be different in bed but it would still look the same. It'd be a real let down. Even if one was dirtier than the other it would just feel like your wife caved in after months of hounding. Or would there be a sort of 'got the whole set' element to it. Like Pokemon.

Favourite Neighbours character.
My favourite Neighbours character was either Mrs Mangoyle or Ramsay Streets.
Erinsborough's answer to East End villain Dot Cotton, Mrs Mangoyle ruled the roost with her steel-wool hairpiece and sex toy mouth. Bedding a procession of eligible bachelors (hotel porter Paul Robinson, cheeky Mechanic Kylie Bishop, and a memorable homage to Nine and a Half Weeks with Plain Jane Super Brain and a Kenwood breadmaker) she put the Lass in Lasseters and the tongue in both Pet Shop Boys.
Ramsay Streets put the beat in Summer Bay. A fella like Stella he sang of happy days. No Fonz, no Malph but a favourite blend. A loud, proud Mushroom Music cloud - everyone's friend Mental incidental. Dry your eyes mate...it's a wedding. Please don't cry mate - Harold's only in Reading. That cliffs like Richard, gonna make a comeback. Bishop's walking the earth…with only a bumbag. Good neighbours have the magic…and they're going to protect it. "Arhhh Madge!" [HAROLD SAMPLE] When you least expect it Violin sad: cry tears. Bippy bontempi "Cheers!"
Wouldn't have been the same without Mr. Shroom Music.
The best Neighbours moment.
For me, it had to be the boxing match between two skunks. Shane Le Pew and Pepe Ramsay were in the ring, all set to tear each other apart in a whole cloud of stink, when...it started snowing. In June! Those crazy All Blacks and their daffy climate. Balloons fell and Ramsay plucked some sexy, seasonal jingle from the Mushroom bank. Pure magic. Pure Truman.
Your preferred variation of the theme tune?
Ramsay's mixolicious jungle remix (complete with Madge's guttural "Oh Yeah!") can't be beat.
Hott Neighbours.
Summer 1987. 42 degrees. Hosepipe ban.
The best post Neighbours careers.
Doc Clive Caruso kicks arse in CSI.
The best Neighbours moment.
I feel like I've already covered this but...hey, maybe I forgot something… [BLURRED FOCUS, WOBBLY CAMERA]....Yeah, forgot something! Forgot like Mike, like that great moment when Mike lost his memory and tattooed his entire body with post-it notes from the hotel gift shop: "Don't forget to go to the gym"; "Take off Jane's glasses"; "never work with Terence Stamp!" When Mike followed that crazy thread back to episode one and learned that Madge killed Reg Grundy...Wooh! prickly hairs!
Everyone needs good ones.
'Word', Ramsay!

Nice Work, jonesy999.
I just went on Craig 'Henry' McLachlan's discussion board and read a couple of threads. One of them made me really really happy:
quote:
Did anyone see his standup act on the NRL footy show i can safely say that was the worst stand up comedic act I have ever seen. I felt bad for him it was so bad, especially when the crowd heckled him and eventually booed him off the stage.
Re: worst standup act ever by - hammerfall__79
Dear Mr McLachlan,
In year 9, I was involved in a high school class play that could be described as a bit of a train wreck. None of the props would stay up, our costumes were a shambles, our acting wasn't even close to par, and I managed to get a C- for my part of the effort. Though it was only a class play, I did feel slef-conscious of the entire performance, and it has weighed on the back of my mind. That was, of course, until I saw your performance in trying to do stand up comedy.
Thank you Craig, because you have just renewed faith in my own abilities. The next time I find myself in a bit of strife with whatever endeavours I am pursuing, I can now calm myself by saying "Atleast this is better than Craig McLachlan's standup routine".
Re: worst standup act ever by - marvin-67
He was Funnier during his Neighbours days with Mark Little. Those two were the ultimate funnyman duo back then.
Re: worst standup act ever by - champion_air_guitar_girl
His standup routine was one of the best performances i've ever seen. It was so bad i could not stop laughing at how awful it was. Now that's entertainment for ya. We need more peolpe like craig doing standup.

Here's a taster, though I think it'll only whet your appetite for the whole thing...
quote: ANDREW DENTON: Which leads me on to The Footy Show experience. For somebody that wanted to shake the Neighbours tag and gain credibility as an actor, why did you choose to go on The Footy Show doing a routine about your time in Neighbours?
CRAIG MCLACHLAN: What an idiot.
ANDREW DENTON: What was the thinking?
CRAIG MCLACHLAN: Do you know, um...I should never have done it, firstly. Obviously. Big, big mistake. Do you know what, touch wood, I haven't made too many in my nearly 20 years, but that was a doozey. It seemed I saved them all up for that one thing. And just so that our audience knows, The Footy Show would ordinarily be broadcast from the studios of Channel Nine in a situation, I guess, much like this. I've never been, and I'll tell you why I've never been, because they broadcast this particular show from a sporting arena at Homebush, home of the Sydney Olympic Games. So instead of having a studio audience of 60-100 people, I don't know how many thousands of people were in there. And I just knew - I knew in my heart - this was a mistake. But ever the professional, I stepped out to "Poofter, poofter, go back to Ramsay Street." And the rest is history.
ANDREW DENTON: Well, for those that didn't see it, here's a recap.
(VIDEO STARTS)
CRAIG MCLACHLAN: My life BC, long before the English tabloids suggested I was secretly gay. And that I frequently sodomised my friends' pets. Which is a complete nonsense, I have to tell you. I only very occasionally sodomise my friends' pets. And that's when I can't get my hands on my friends. Anyway. What's worse than poo?
AUDIENCE MEMBERS: You.
MAN: Get him off.
CRAIG MCLACHLAN: Oh, come on!
AUDIENCE: Off, off off!
(VIDEO ENDS)
ANDREW DENTON: What was it like out there?
CRAIG MCLACHLAN: You're kidding, aren't you? I walked off and people are coming up saying, "Tough audience." And I was physically unable to speak. What I wanted to say was "No. You're shitting me!" I couldn't speak. I got in the backseat of the car curled up in the foetal position and stayed there until I got home.

You see, your mistake here is thinking that jumping up and down and shouting like a 12-year-old makes you right. It doesn't.
Just like putting a hand on your heart, grimacing out a tear and saying you have "issues" doesn't make you interesting and being the only person in the room not being styled by Ralph Lauren doesn't make you "edgy".
But hey, you could always dye your hair blonde and move to Hollyoaks and no one would notice that you're a cardboard cutout with the emotional range of Barbie Crystal Tips (She laughs, she cries, she takes yer eye out with her pointy plastic boobs).

Jim had his second fatal heart Attack on the OC, the poor bastard. I'd agree though, that the show overall is a miserable chunk of shit, full of morality lessons and over scripted adu-teens. It's probably not as bad as Dawson's Creek, mostly because it has ok music on it sometimes, and the guy who plays Seth's Dad is an alright actor. It's just too languid and slow though.. Even when there are action/tension moments, it still feels like it's doped to the max on prescription painkillers. And all the women are ridiculously, painfully thin, barely inhabiting empty and tedious characters. And Ryan is from the David Caruso CSI school...of..looking...sideways...and....talking...really..slowly, which is funny on CSI, but NOT on the OC.

I once dated a girl who resembled Ruth Wilkinson but Susan Kennedy remains closest to my heart. Watching her bloom from the awkward young inmate in Prisoner Cell Block H to the sassy school ma'am in Neighbours was a glorious thing. She don't take no shit.

As I am at home revising, I can't scan and upload my amazing photos of The Real Ramsay Street, what I visited in Melbourne. You can also see Scott & Charlene's wedding cake in the big national museum, in a room made to look like the Ramsays' kitchen circa 1990.
My favourite cliffhanger moment was when Helen painted a portrait of Mrs Mangel and when it was unveiled she did a Massive Shock face, and then the music started. We had to wait a whole day to see how bad the picture was!
In a moment of thread linkage, I once got given The Neighbours Game by my nan. It was possibly the most boring board game ever.
Posted by Pearlie (Member # 853) on :
I had the Neighbours sticker book. I think it may have come free with The Sun although someone must of given it to me since Ma and Pa wouldn't allow tabloids in the house.
I liked the Jane the dag to Jane the 80s big haired stunner storyline over Scott and Charlene.

my favourite moemtns (best jelly-fingers typo ever!) are these:
- harold bishop having a conversation with stonefish about the beastie boys. which ended with harold wobbling his jowls in confusion and bellowing the beeeaaaastie boyyys?. i swear to you no shit. my life, that was one of the funniest things ive ever seen. noone but me ever seems to have witnessed it though.
- the time henry discovered that mrs mangel had cannabis growing in her garden. noone else seems to have seen this but me.
_ the time jim and his buddy went hunting in the forest and ate magic mushrooms by mistake and jim thought he was going to be attacked my a murderous truffle pig. help me out here guys
- when that woman, the annoying sexy wife with the permanent erect nipples problem- BUTTONS MUM- she decided that here and her hubby's sex life was in need of an injection and she decided to dress up as a naughty school girl.
- paul's face when he discovered that his leg had been removed. i didnt actually witness this but ive seen a screengrab, although i cant find it at the moment. its the business.
-henry called bronwyn a bastard once. i do have corroboration on this one.

I actually feel sorry for Craig, not only wasn't he unfunny he also has some form of mutated square head going on..
Oh man, it's like watching a car crash in slow motion involving a family member..

Ooo. DD just reminded me, There was one episode with the Pet Shop Boys in it, where they asked some elderly woman (madge? ann?) where the recording studio was as they were meant to be recording their new album there, and obviously this woman had no idea who they were. The hilarity upon her being told!

Check you out accusing Thorn of just rehashing other peoples jokes, when I linked to this and provided you with a picture of Bouncer to head the most embarrasing moments of Neighbours. Throw in a few question marks to throw your readers off the scent. You're a fraud SG5 and I think you owe Thorn an apology.

In my defense, I didn't actually click on your link as I assumed it was all about the Bouncer incident which I remembered and didn't realise that it included other stuff. And clicking on links is quite a lot of effort really, it involves moving the mouse hand and moving the index finger to cause clickage, which sounds a bit stressful.

discodamage, I saw the Mrs Mangel cannabis storyline, you are not imagining that one.
Is the Paul/amputated leg thing recent? I noticed he'd come back when I was off work sick the other week.
I'd love to see how Neighbours handles amputee continuity. Almost as much as I'd love to see Kath and Kim crop up on Ramsay Street. I'm pretty sure that Lassiters is just around the corner from Fountain Lakes.

I accept that as an excuse. Except the bit where you try to kid me into believing that you thought Bouncer's dream could take up a whole webpage. I know it's the stuff of legends, but a whole page? Posted by SilverGinger5 (Member # 49) on :
It could have included lots of fan fiction about what Bouncer's dream could/should have involved. I bet that's out there somewhere in the weird internet world. Probably written by ralph.

Check you out you checking out SG5 about his accusing Thorn of just rehashing other peoples jokes, when this:
quote:she put the Lass in Lasseters and the tongue in both Pet Shop Boys.
clearly suggests you should be checking out yourself.
My version was obviously in Neighbours Nights but hey...

I know it was only this morning, but those laffs seem like an age ago. I was quite happy for Thorn to steal his jokes. You can't break the victim triangle. Who'll defend Thorn then?
Anyway! I didn't rehash any jokes at all. I was first in with the Bouncer dream sequence. You don't want to have a go at me do you Jonesy? You just want everyone to know you are completely down with the neighbours facts. Don't worry. We totally know how much you know about neighbours. And the Pet Shop Boys.

That's alright then.

I can't believe I used to watch this shit, but lunchtimes were otherwise pretty dull. It was all early to mid 1990s for me.
- Favourite character: Paul Robinson - he was a nasty piece of work, wasn't he? Well, as nasty as a mid-afternoon television 'bad guy' can get. Paul is closely followed by Gail Lewis's father Rob. Memorable because he had a face like a rabbit. I couldn't find his a bio on the site so it appears that no one else remembers him. I used to laugh when Harold mentioned his name, and could never pronounce the 'R' - so it always came out 'Wobb Lewis'.
- Best Neighbours moment. I was thinking about the street cricket match - if only all the Aussie bowlers had that round-arm technique - but then NWODs recollection of the Bouncer dream sequence brought a tear to my eye. This is closely followed by Mrs Mangel falling off a ladder. The close up of her lying there on the ground lifeless was rather funny, in a Larry Davidesque sort of way.
- Theme tune. They were all crap, weren't they? I've heard the original one, and that is a lot better that the current version.
- Hott neighbours... I am in strong agreement with Darryn about 'Ren' - grr. She was also in some other Aussie soap - I found this pic of her as a police officer.
Arresting, no?
My ex looked a little like Raelee Hill, but with curlier hair. Funnily enough, she was also a hippy environmentalist who had a bag with anti-fur logos on it. Later on, I discovered that perhaps I should have forgotten about the 'environ' bit.
O, and Bronwyn was also nice. Until she married that twit Henry Ramsay.
Post-neighbours careers? Jim Robinson being resurrected from the dead to become acting president of the US in series two of 24 tops the lot, I think.

What I like about that picture is that it is supposed to be of a beautiful woman. So what do you get when you draw a picture of a beatiful woman and fail to do her justice? Zara from Hollyoaks.
I don't think I'm wrong:

sometimes I like Zara from hollyoaks. It's like smelling your girlfriend's used underwear. It's a dirty thing to do, but sometimes, in those dark moments, it's unstoppable.Right, kids? Posted by Ringo (Member # 47) on :

The twisted reality, the recognizable face distorted beyond all reasonable need, the strange unproportioned balance between the hair and the head, the eyes that follow you not only around this room but the one next door, the slightly schizophrenic central line that divides the almost human accurate left side*(1) of the face with the disturbed evil alter-ego right side*(2), the simple penmanship - a glorious 'praise be' to the biro cross hatch, the haunting giant mouth with which the artist seems obsessed (see other pictures by the same artist of Brooke) the sheer fucking beauty of the piece.
THAT'S what I like.
It's art though, so it's subjective.
