Here’s what we wanna happen this year:

• Irene to get hair straighteners
• Miles to get a nice girlfriend
• Bandicoot to return
• Ruby and Liam to record another song, building on the amazing success that was Kisses Hurt So Much
• Alf to bring some of his West End buds to the Bay
• Nicole to launch Tramp Chic in Paris Fashion Week
• Someone to remember Jai
• Annie to return from Japan
• Elijah to return from Africa
• Leah to stay in Africa
• Will to join Summer Bay Super Bods
• Gypsy to come back, kicking ass and taking names
• Roo to reveal her name is actually Kangaroo
• Charlie to stop looking scared

Any other suggestions?

Dear SummerBayWatcher,

No doubt you are feeling the pain now that “Home and Away” is off our screens. May I suggest that you watch “Fade Street” on the RTE Player. There’s an outstanding character called Paul. He’s no Alf Stewart but he’s a helluva man all the same.

Yours,
Ailsa

I must say it took a while but we now have over 1000 friends on Facebook.  If you are one of that happy number then we thank you.  If you are not then get liking here.

Right, Home and Away is on a wee break.  I think the only course of action is to write our own episode.

I’ll start:

FADE-IN INT. KITCHEN OF SUMMER BAY CARAVAN PARK – DAY

A HANDSOME MAN enters

CLOSE-UP: Alf Stewart

ALF (calling)

Hello?  Hello?  Strewth, there’s never anyone around when you flamin’ need them.

MEDIUM SHOT – MILES ENTERS FROM HALLWAY

MILES (mumbling with mouth full of food)

Oh, Alf, what’s with all the commotion?

ALF (hurriedly)

You’ll never flamin’ guess what’s just happened down at the bait shop, come and help or I’ll tan your backside!

Over to you, there.

Oh look, Rachel won out as the least craic in Summer Bay, with just over 100 of the 373 votes we received! Understandable really, as she fell to whiny, moany pieces once she had a baby.
Annie took second place, followed by Jai, Bartlett and Charlie. I’m surprised Kirsty wasn’t further up the poll (no pun intended).
Miles only got 2% of the vote, confirming what I’ve always suspected – YOU LOVE HIM!

We are away for a wee while, so we decided to leave this post open and hopefully you’ll tell us what’s going on. It would be very handy to return to. Thanks! You’re very good.

Lads, ye should do this quiz.  It’s deadly.  This is my result; I didn’t know Melody was a victim of voodoo!

“Melody from my perspective is a little weird!!! she just cant get over her ex boyfriend Geoff (who is to good for her anyway) being with someone else!! her hair is long and straight and is an A student at school. She is currently single because she is too ugly to have a boyfriend. she left her family becaus they were doing some voodoo thing to her. also she has random mood swings.”

So, my answers show that I am too ugly to have a boyfriend.  Bummer.

Finally, watch out, because “random mood swings” can land you in a mental institution.

..maybe you should read this first.

This is a great laugh – see Wordle.net. It looks like Morag and Miles are very popular chez nous.

I thought ye might be interested in a few H&A-related posts from my old blog:
