Out of the habit

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

Would you believe, we actually forgot to watch Home and Away last night? What happened?

Our great annual self-penned H&A episode

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

Now that we’ve all had time to get used to the gap that Home and Away has left in our lives, it’s time to ease ourselves back into a Summer Bay mindset by writing our own episode. We did this last year and it was amazing.

If it doesn’t descend into FILTH, that’ll be a nice bonus.

And now, without further ado………

FADE-IN INT. ANGELO’S POSH TAPAS RESTAURANT (IT’S VERY BUSY TODAY)

BRAX (polishing glasses):  Aww, I was thinking of getting another tat, what d’ya reckon?

HEATH (scowling): I wouldn’t do it, bro. It’ll take away from your ripper Blood ‘n Sand one.

BRAX: People will still know I’m a River Boy though, due to my toughness and muscles.

CHARLIE ENTERS

CHARLIE (looks suspicious): What’s going on here?

HEATH: Just a brotherly chat, Sergeant.

CHARLIE LOOKS CONFUSED

HEATH LEAVES

BRAX AND CHARLIE START PASHING VERY SECRETLY IN FULL VIEW OF EVERYONE

Wow, what a start – who’s next? Over to you………..

A day on the Home and Away set

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

Two friends of ours (the handsome Saul and a beautiful unnamed lady) went to real-life Summer Bay, and here are the results.  Click the photos to see them full-size!

Meanwhile, on telly H&A, Nicole had her baby and wants to keep it. It’s heartbreaking really. She’s a good wee actor, that one. Also, Indy was wearing MC Hammer pants and has a stalker.

I’m sorry, I’m driving through a tunnel, goodbye Dex.

 

 

 

Grrrr

Home and Away is on hiatus on RTE Two.  I think the song lyrics should be amended to “You know we belong together, except when we take a break for Punchestown”.

Best. Job. Ever.

Commenter Fitz mentioned this yesterday,  Channel 5 have started a competition to find a Home and Away reporter.  I’d say it would be nearly as good as writing for the Coastal News.

This might ease the pain…a small bit

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

Today’s episode

On today’s episode of Home and Away…….nothing happened!  Our beloved escape to the land of Oz is on sabbatical.  Forget the bankers and bailouts, this is a disgrace.

Intrepid reader Saul sent me this.  Isn’t it amazing?
I think my favourite item is the stoned crow.

Who was Rory?

Let me be the one…the great Home and Away theme song tribute collection

Friday, July 9th, 2010

The H&A theme song is one of those instantly recognisable ditties that will stand the test of time.  But which is your favourite version?  I thought mine was the Robertson Brothers’ effort, until I came across these little gems.  Which would you vote for? Personally, I think they’re all inspired.

Here comes the bride/horse/hospital orderly

Yay a Summer Bay wedding is impending!  I wonder what shenanigans will go down at Elijah and Leah’s nuptials?  They won’t be able to beat Sally and Flynn’s hospital ceremony!  Or Kim arriving at his on horseback.
