A Conversation for Life in Australia, According to 'Neighbours'
Rules One, Three, Five and Seven
AgProv2 Started conversation Oct 22, 2007
Before Neighbours, the only avenues open for finding out more about australia were
a) emigrate. If this wasn't a practical option there was always:-
b) Skippy the Bush Kangaroo
c) Other Aussie TV serials such as the tough-guy private investigator Ryan (featuring a very younger Pamela Stephenson in minimal clothing) and Boney (the aboriginal detective who spotted the clues white coppers missed)
d) the Monty Python Bruces sketch
ref (b) - are kangaroos really that bright, and can you go to night school courses to learn Marsupial Nasal Language? "Three kids have fallen down a coolibar, Skip?" (twitch of nose meaning "yes")
ref (d), are Aussie males really as super-macho as they're made out to be, with a corresponding emphasis on Rules 1, 3, 5, 7? (as well as rule two: "This term, I don't want to catch anyone not drinking") This might explain why Jason Donovan sued that magazine for calling him a pooftah, but where does Sydney Gay Pride fit into this super-macho image?
