Ularooo! Neighbours memories

Does anyone remember when Lucy sneaked a bit of Ayers Rock home and then a curse befell Ramsay Street? Every time something new happened, she'd wail 'Ularoooo!'

Or wondering what lamingtons were and saying "you dag" to your friends?

My big crush was Paul, even though he only had a couple of facial expressions.

Anybody find the storyline when they suddenly decided Lolly wasn't Lou's daughter after all odd, did they just decide she was a bit boring?

BrianButterfield · 18/01/2012 14:08

Lucy fell in a hole and Bouncer found her!

IKilledIgglePiggle · 18/01/2012 14:08

Wasn't there an episode that was just Bouncer dreaming, or did I dream that.

AWimbaWay · 18/01/2012 14:09

There are some characters who were in it for ages but I can hardly remember anything about. Todd and Phoebe?

"And I still don't know what lamingtons are."

Basically, chocolate covered squares of sponge, sometimes then coated with dessicated coconut. They're bloody gorgeous.....

Daphne's last words (grunts ) 'I love you Clarkie '

IKilledIgglePiggle · 18/01/2012 14:13

I had the Neighbours sticker book, it doesn't get sadder than that. I had 13 stickers of Nell Mangle, I couldn't swap em' for love nor money Wink

MistyMountainHop · 18/01/2012 14:15

AWimbaWay · 18/01/2012 14:18

A fair few characters here I'd forgotten.

LadyGahGah · 18/01/2012 14:19

I know Karl and Susan's billy Grin my very small claim to fame.....

AbsofCroissant · 18/01/2012 14:20

Apparently the guy who played Harold Bishop was quite rude. Someone I know met him in a bar in Oz and said something about him being chubby, so he said "it's ebcause every time I f*ck your mother she gives me a cake". Though, in retrospect, he may just have been rude because some random 18 yo had called him fat while in a bar.

MistyMountainHop · 18/01/2012 14:21

oh and malcolm was fit as fook as well Blush

was it him who went out with that debbie girl i think she was called? he was SO out of her league!

HMTheQueen · 18/01/2012 14:23

Lamingtons are sponge cake squares, covered in a choclatey icing sauce and then covered in desicated coconut. Sometimes it is two sponges held together with jam and/or cream.

THE most delicious cakey lovely yumminess ever!

IUseTooMuchKitchenRoll · 18/01/2012 14:23

LadyGahGah, I have one too! My best friend snogged Toadie when she went to Australia!

Apparently, fame is a big turn on for her.

toddlerama · 18/01/2012 14:24

I used to collect Neighbours cards and swap them at school. Bouncer was the worst one, we all wanted Daphne.

I loved beautiful, beautiful Billy. Stupid Anne didn't deserve him with her selfish, arty ways.

ChickensGoMeh · 18/01/2012 14:28

I wish I knew Billy. In the carnal sense

breathedeeply · 18/01/2012 14:28

Des did not deliver Daphne's baby - she had it on a picnic (indeed without taking her tights off), but she also gave birth very quickly with only 1 or 2 mild contractions and so Des missed the event. Luckily she was picnicking with Dr Clive the GP, who simply moved the hamper off the picnic blanket and produced a serene 2 month old from under her pinafore. Not a speck of blood or goo. Amazing. When the NCT teacher told us that we could all choose how we gave birth, I asked to do it in the style of Daphne from Neighbours.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 18/01/2012 14:33

Didnt Billy end up in "House"? and Jim Robinson in "NCIS" or "CSI" or something?
Helens martial art was calle Chi Gung! I watched Neighbours from the very beginning.
I cried at Scott and Charlenes wedding, when Daphne died, when Todd died, and then came back to visit phoebe in the mirror, and when Helen karked it! I watched in wonder when Plain Jane was transformed into a beautiful butterfly, and confusion, when Lucy went away and came back a different person!!
Then funnily enough, about 8 years ago, I stopped watching, and havent seen it since!!

katz · 18/01/2012 14:34

I love neighbours, been a fan since the max and marie days. Todd and Phoebe, wasn't he run over trying to stop her having an abortion.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 18/01/2012 14:36

Billy

LadyGahGah · 18/01/2012 14:37

Jesse did indeed end up in House. He dated my housemate!

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 18/01/2012 14:39

Yup! Flattened! Splat! Grin
I was pregnant at the time, I was in shreds!

ChickensGoMeh · 18/01/2012 14:40

Phwoar. That Billy needs some rubbing. Tell me Lady, was he a nice sort of chap? And did you ever see him naked?

AbsofCroissant · 18/01/2012 14:41

Jim ended up in Ugly Betty and the OC. Thinking on it now, he was rather HAWT in both

"When the NCT teacher told us that we could all choose how we gave birth, I asked to do it in the style of Daphne from Neighbours."

Fnar.

LadyGahGah · 18/01/2012 14:45

Well being gay I probably didn't appreciate him topless on a Sunday morning...was more a "stick the kettle on, there's a love"Grin he was a lovely down to earth kinda guy.
