Neighbours- Elle- Middle East correspondent??

[Nibbly]

I know it's Neighbours and I'm not a journalist, but surely getting a fellow journalist killed, nicking his story and writing about the emotional impact would not get you a job in a war zone?

If you start trying to apply the realities of real life to Neighbours your head will explode.

I find the whole show hilarious. I am particularly enjoying Kate Ramsey throwing her arms in the air and spinning about doing crap dancing. Especially when she did it at the Deb ball wearing something I suspect may originally have been a nightie. She looked like she had escaped from some sort of secure unit - throwing herself about in her night clothes

This clip doesn't do it justice and is very poor quality without sound - but you do get to see the very special dancing. Enjoy!

I saw the dancing- it's terible- and who is that bloke? Is he a famous dancer in Oz? Back to Elle- It doesn't take a literary genius to make up something more realistic- like a fashion journalist or roving reporter- she would still be doing loads of travelling! Ok- I've just read what I have written, and I sound like a nutjob, so I'l just stop...

I think the guy does So You Think You Can Dance in Australia- they all act like he's famous outside of the show.
Re Kate (and yes I am a sad Neighbours addict) I cannot stand the girl. Don't know what it is but I just want to punch her- I hate the way when she got a bit of recognition with her deb thing (most boring storyline ever btw) she got so smug and up herself. And she treats her brother like shit, but somehow it's his fault?
Arghh.

Anyway can't believe I just wrote a rant about Neighbours of all things.

The dancing is special, isn't it? Elle can barely remember her own name, let alone be a hard nosed journalist. God, I love 'Neighbours'!

I know! That deb was so dull, I stopped watching for a while! And they all had to do 18th century dancing! do they not realise they're in a daytime soap, not Pride and Prejudice? Can you imagine teenagers here doing that? They'd just not turn up! I hate Kate, and that annoying Sunny- When's she going home? Thay must be the longest exchange progamme in history- and why is she doing exams in Oz? And why does she have an australian accent if she's korean or whatever? And why do I waste my time watching Neighbours when i could be watching Come Dine with me? ( or feeding my DS at a reasonable hour?)

One thing for certain... the man is no actor

And yes, fashion journalist is a much better fit for Elle. But then if you can write a couple of articles for the Erinsborough News (which Daddy owns) and the West Warratah (sp?) Star and be offered a job at a New York broadsheet then anything is achieveable.

anonacfr if it's making you cross you're taking it too seriously. Keep repeating the mantra "It is just escapist fluff... It is just escapist fluff... It is just escapist fluff" until the feeling passes

Ah but you must all admit the outfits were really special. I kept thinking they must have raided the wardrobes of Prisoner Cell Block H...

wot the hell did kate wear to the deb?? im addicted to neighbours its so not real life. I cant believe were so worried about neighbours and taking it to heart its just a drama..

ooh a whole thread on this. Elle Robinson- New york Times Middle East Correspondent was my laugh of the week. I turned off the tv after that bit as I felt nothing else could match that.
