The pie hats were just a small comedy piece

As for Pauls leg- I was wondering the same thing about how he managed to get in to the house. They do seem to forget about him only having one proper leg at times

It's better than being really depressing and miserable like Eastenders and other soaps are. Atleast when you watch Neighbours it is garuanteed to make you smile.

Neighbours is a feel good soap, live with it. You've complained about how bad it was once before. If you don't like it, why watch it and then come on here to moan about it some more?

The only reason I have to watch it now is that I have a sick wife who at the moment cant be left on her own and I stay with her when she watches it

I posted this at the weekend on the 'improved' Neighbours thread. Please feel free to play if you are interested. Just don't post the answers. Please PM them to me. There is a prize at the end of the month, nothing special it's all for fun.

Neighbours quiz 20 years......

Hello, I am Steph and I will be your host. I would first like to welcome our contestants...(Everyone is clapping and cheering, I hope you can hear them)

Yes, like I said welcome.

I am hoping this will be a weekly quiz where we can all have a little fun! Every week, I will post 10 Neighbours related questions on this thread (and the new one when it arrives!) It's going to be simple.

Now for the rule(s).......

1 - All answers are to be pm'ed to me! Username skf1
No answers/hints are to be posted on this thread. Of course you can PM each other !! (but can you live with cheating!) lol! Anyone who breaks this rule (on the thread) will be fined 5 points! NO EXCUSES!!!

2 - Each week there will be 25 points up for grabs. 2 points for each correct answer (Total 20) plus an additional 5 bonus points available. So the total marking is out of 25.
After I have received all answers (in a satsfactory time, agreed by you guys) I will post the answers and also post a table of rank. (The leader board)

3 - My answers are final LOL!! (OK, I'll listen to your comments!!)

4 - This isn't 'Who wants to be a Millionaire', It's all for fun!!! The winner and the current number one rank at the end of each month (4 quizzes) , will receive an e-card, and a $10 US download credit from Real.com (That's an album or 10 individual music tracks at 99c each) I have to make this work!!! lol In the case of a tie, I'll post a tie breaker when leaders are all online....

OK - Round 1
As we are only starting, I'm not going to be too tough.
(Anne Robinson I'm not!!! lol)

Question Number 1
1) What was the name of Paul Robinsons first wife?

Question Number 2
2) Name Nell Mangles' first husband?
BONUS: Name the man that softened that heart a second time ?

Question Number 3
3) Name Marco and Rick Alessi's sisters name. (Original, as given or adoptive accepted)

Question Number 4
4) What was the name of the infamous Aunt of Bronwyn and Sharon Davies?
BONUS: What was the name of the ACTOR that portrayed the young artist/graffiti expert that stole Sharon's heart.

Question Number 5
5) Name the original ACTRESS who portrayed the role of Cody Willis?

Question Number 6
6) Which character landed up on Ramsay Street after returning with Todd and Josh from a trip?
I will give you a clue on this one, as they may have returned many of times from a trip! I'm torn. I can't help. It would be unfair.
BONUS What was name of Todd's little sister?

Question Number 7:
7) Name the character of the niece of Madge Ramsay/Bishop, who came to stay and started a relationship with a Robinson, much to her Aunt's dissapproval.

Question Number 8
8) Who caught Lucy Robinson out in faking her blindness? (Well failing to say her sight had returned!!)
BONUS: What was the object that was being looked for, when she gave herself away...?

Question Number 9
9) On what substance did Susan slip on and lose her memory?

Question Number 10
10) What was the name of the lawyer nephew of Doug and Pam Willis?
BONUS: Name his mother.

So ends Quiz number 1.
I hope it wasn't that bad.

Remember, answers on a postcard...OK just pm them to me!!
DO NOT POST THEM (answers) ON THIS THREAD!

Stephanie Kathleen signing off, until next week...(I'll be back tomorrow!!!) lol!!!
Remember PM your answers to me. I have my gold stars and red ticking pen all ready.

Steph

Neighbours is so corny, everybody knows burglars don't dress in black. The Neighbours producers must have learnt all they know from comics.

Why don't you both shut it?! If you don't like it, don't watch it and don't yap on about it, talking crap in the process. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all unless you can justify your argument - you can't so stop talking. Children

The burglary was a joke. The alarm gives you enough time to disable the backup battery before going off ? And where did the scaffoling come from ?

And the fat woman made the mean business man fall in love with her instantly by pulling her top's zipper down half an inch. What a load of crap !

Uncle fester have a look at these Neighbours summaries, they're hilarious :

Neighbours has it's own sweet style. Everyone knows what it is, and like it or doesn't.

Theres nothing else quite like it.

Besides if you want to start picking on plot problems, I'm very sure there are thousands and thousands of them in our 'bigger' UK soaps.

I've just started getting into Neighbours again, after over 7 years, and it's just as ridiculous as before, but it's perfectly watchable teatime nonsense

LMAO brilliant!

“The Erotic Adventures of Harold and Madge,” “Lou Carpenter: A Sex Offender In Their Midst” and “Dr Karl Kennedy’s Liver Blending Diet.”

Something else is troubling me about this scene and I’m not sure what it is…. Can’t quite put my finger on it – oh hang on, yes I can! It’s the fact that Karl Kennedy is doing the diagnosis of the ultrasound, even though he is just a GP.

Oh come on. Anyone can tell from the opening titles...yeah it's a soap but it's light hearted and I know that. it's why i watch because I don't particuarly want to watch gripping drama at 5.35pm on a weeknight.

Because of the way it is, it actually makes me like it more than other soaps such as Eastenders.

I cant comment on Neighbours alot, as i dont watch it. It does seem a bit ''Happy'' all the time however it was brilliant when the cafe went on fire earlier this year - who set it alight as i didn't watch?

It wasn't just the cafe, it was the complex. Well Paul Robinson turned up out of the blue. That should clue you in! - Steph
