I intend to go. Though I've been getting concerned about the dedication people are showing. The other day I heard people saying how they'd go at about 2 and stay all evening to avoid queues. If it's a long queue I ain't going. I dislike queueing.

Well I went to Walkabout in Sheffield the other day to see the great Fletch and all I can say is that is was absolutly spiggin' awesome!
Me and the ladies of NAS (Neighbours Appreciation Society) arrived at half 7, 2 hours before Karl was due on stage thinking we had allowed plenty of time. We were wrong. The Neighbours dedication is astonishing, the queue already went all the way round the club and halfway up the street again, there were hundreds of people. We had emailed to get on the guest list, there was a problem but luckily seeing, the dissappointment on our faces and our NAS tshirts, the bouncers let us skip the queue anyway.
The people in there were absolutly amazing. I met a guy with a didgereedoo (which obviously I played), who I had a long discussion with about how Stingray has his own vocabulary. There were hilarious neighbours related signs everywhere e.g Free As a River and I met some guys with T-shirts with pictures of Karl in his doctors get up with a speech bubble saying 'I'll give you the right prescription'. Genius. Someone else also had their DVD with them, so obviously we discussed our favourite episodes including how hilarious old school David Bishop is.
And then the great man himself. It was utter hysteria it really was. He began with let me entertain you which was unintentionally hilarious. Among other classics played were Living on a prayer, I come from a land down under and Footballs coming home rather randomly. And then the best bit. Karl asked the crowd who was better, Sarah, Izzy or Susan. Cue lots of Susan shouting.
Fletch; 'If you want someone to kiss its Sarah
Crowd; 'Boo'
Fletch; 'If you want someone to go out with its Izzy
Crowd; 'Boo'
Fletch; 'If you want someone to do everything with its Susan
Crowd; 'Hurrah!'
He then proceeded to play McFly's Obviously but changing the lyrics to be about Susan - potentially the greatest moment of my life. And yes, he held my hand - how spiggin' awesome.

Karl K on tour sounds like a blast. I'm always suprised by Neighbours dedication. Considering it's one program that's always about to be dropped it has a very dedicated following. I wouldn't actually like to know what would happen if the BBC did drop it from the schedules.

I don't think Neighbours is always going to be dropped. If it was gonna be dropped, surely they wouldn't be showing it twice a day.

There are always rumours its going to be dropped, but they are hardly based in truth. Fact is Neighbours wins the tough 5:30 timeslot every day against Richard & Judy/Weakest Link/whatever and fills two tricky scheduling holes for the BBC. OK it's not as popular as its 80s/early 90s hayday, but then hardly anything is nowadays.

It was heaving with RAHs, I was quite literally blinded by pashmina.
They were horrible.
And Karl's band weren't much better. They ruined loads of good songs and I shuffled off upstairs to be alone with my anger when he started singing Three Lions and waving a Liverpool FC scarf around.
They did the whole Sarah/Izzie/Susan thing as mentioned by Dirtypop which was met by the orgasm en-masse of what was essentially hundreds of people from Cuths, Grey and Collingwood, plus me and a few of my select charves.

If you're gonna slag us off, at least know your colleges. Cuths, Grey and Collingwood are the Durham bastions of non-Rahness. You even get people like me, who went to comprehensives and everything. |
