General Chat

Do you mean the farm where Sid and his family live? It is only rented. When the owner died, his two grandchildren moved in with Irene and Martha had the farm - and worked it a little. She then walked away from it and left it for Alf - who rented it to Sid. At least, that's how I remember it. Can anyone correct me?

At the time that would have been built, land was cheap and people worked the land, but had no money. They built the homes themselves, whenever they could afford building materials - or come by them whatever way they could. That's why it is small. They only built them for shelter. No Council specifications in those days. Actually, that one is quite splendid compared to the "humpy" style which was better known in the old days.

Hi all.

Berona yes the 'John list' has been done.

Julie the farm must be like the tardis.

I think there is supposed to be a shopping area not far from the caravan park, although we have never seen it - just the occasional couple of shopfronts when they need to go to one specific building. There must be a general store close by, as they often go for a walk and come in with ONE carton of milk - to feed that lot!? I've never seen them with bread, although they seem to eat a lot of toast.

Xavier is in his first weeks of police training and already he is sleuthing after Harvey to see what he is up to.

Hello All. couldnt keep away, nice to catch up on H&A
Ruby has the hots for romeo at the moment .nothing new then .& another lad now a *surfer* .do they not have jobs in summer bay ? were do they do there shopping its a mystery
:-)

It is nice to see you back Barbra. Same here Marion, I liked him when he played Brendan Jones in ACP.

Berona there is something not quite right with Indi's new "friend". He gives me the creeps.

They don't build farm houses like they used to Julie. ;-)

Hope you are all well, Kim :-)

It amazes me that with a big farm & farm house that the house inside is so little.....Kitchen, eating, living & sleeping in the 1 room lol


Berona.......Just got to that bit

Haven't you reached the part where Marilyn and Roo make a list of John's bad habits? Drinking out of the milk carton is only one of them. Always reminds me of how I used to have to stand guard over the fridge when my eldest son came home after high school - for the same reason. Took me ages to get him out of the habit. John hasn't got out of it yet!

Indi and Romeo are playing up - on each other. Harvey is up to mischief again, using his position on the Council, but so far, Roo is happy with him. Will it last?

Barbara - I thought you had left us. Great to see you back again.

Hi all.

Nice to see you back Barbara.

I Iiked John when he was in A country Practice.

You got triffids Merlin?hope they go soon lol

I'd be in loo for ages if i did my crossword in there Kim.

Just getting into the mood Allan. You set me off, lol. I thought it was a nice turn of phrase actually. Do you think they might give me a job?????

Merlin I'm sure there's a few old Triffids lurking in the bushes!!!!

Yes Barbra he's got dirty habits, I can remember my brother doing the same thing when we were kids. My father always took the crossword to the loo and no one could get in there. :-S :-S

Some people must be gluttons for punishment :-S :-D Is it anything like the Day of The Triffids? :-S :-S :-D

John is doing my head in .please go back to gina .did you see him drinking out of the milk bottle .straight from the fridge .yuck. ~~~~Hello all H&A lovers x :-D

My Goodness MEgirl,

With expressions such as 'transfixed in this wonderland of woven mastery'
I can't help but feel that the vampire has struck.

I would hardly describe the programme in the terms you have employed.

Mine would have been 'a load of old tat' :-P

Allan

Can feel the trance coming on :-S Will soon be slinking passively towards the screen where I will sit like a zombie for 30 minutes and be drawn into the propaganda of the screenwriters transfixed in this wonderland of woven mastery.

:-S :-S :-S :-S Never to return :-S :-S :-S Fare thee well >..<

lol Berona

I trawl the GR boards looking for ideas which I secretly send to the scriptwriters for padding out.

The amount of material is endless (as well as in some cases being pointless) :-D :-D

Allan

Don't believe him, Merlin. Allan is not a part-time victim - he is a full-time addict. He not only watches it, but he sends his ideas to the writers - hence their excuse for not doing any research (which is obvious).

Merlin, it is known as a 'vampire' show.

It crawls out of its coffin during the early evening, feeds off its victim, or in this case, collective victims ie viewers, and then crawls back!

The victims then become passive slaves to the creature and meekly await its return each evening.

(except on a Friday night in West Oz because Aussiie Rules football is on!)

Allan

(a part-time victim)

Yes, Merlin. The version Marion sees is only a couple of weeks behind the latest here in Oz. I think she has been watching it for a longer period than I have, although a new TV chanel here has started from the beginning. I don't watch the old version (heaven forbid - that acting!!), but I record it and run it quickly through to see if I can see any actors who are still with it, to see how they have changed in 22 years.

I also am very cynical of the speech the writers make them use. It is not the formal English which I learned at school. Obviously, the producers don't know any better, to allow it.

Is this thing /Show? still around, ? Thought it had died the death years ago. :-S :-S :-(

Me an all .nothing changes x :-)

I hate to admit it, but I watched tonight's episode and I am thoroughly :-S :-S
