Just what you always wanted to know....

I was INSPIRED by Mark's blog about Wikipedia (for once he had a blog that wasn't about TV)!

You know what, even though Wikipedia doesn't get everything right it sure got one thing right..... NEIGHBOURS!

"Hoooorrraaahhh!" I hear you yell! Yes, you read it right Neighbours is important enought to be on Wikipedia! Whoo - hoo.

So settle down kids, let Wiki' tell you all about those lovely Neighbours........WAIT.... No! you don't need to know the history (I know you're all closet fans), how about we remember the pets of Ramsey Street.

  • Dahl the galah (1994 onwards) - A galah that originally belonged to Lata Chatterji. Lata gave the bird to her boyfriend Brett Stark when they were forced to break up by Lata's brother Vikram. When Brett left, he gave Dahl to Libby to look after and it has lived in the Kennedy house ever since. However when Karl used to live in the house, Dahl sometimes made him angry.
    ( My favorite bit was went Dr. Karl got angry- he made me laugh)
  • Casserole "Cassie" the sheep (1995-2006) - Cassie the sheep is to die this year, a funeral to be shown in the next few months.
    ( This was Billy's sheep. When I was in year 5 I though Billy was a babe)
  • Audrey the dog (2002 onwards) - originally owned by Libby Kennedy, named after Audrey Hepburn. Ran away a while ago only to be found when Mal Kennedy accidentally ran her over. She survived, and now lives with Libby's mother Susan. Joe Mangel claims that Audrey has a romantic interest in Bouncer 5.
    ( When Libby moved away Audrey came back to the good place- Ramsey Street!)
  • Bob the dog (1997 onwards) - originally belonged to Sarah Beaumont. When she asked for him to join her in her new home abroad, Toadie and Stu duped her by sending a lookalike in his place. However, Sarah recently revealed in Annalise's documentary that she knew all along that the dog Toadie sent her was not the real Bob.
    ( Ahhh, Toadfish.... he's great. Bob is cool too BUT he does poo alot.)
  • Harvey the dog (2000 onwards) - The Scully's family dog. Joe Scully accidentally ran over Harvey, a stray dog, on his building site. He brought him home and it was decided that they would keep him.
    ( The scully are a crap family and the dog sucks too)
  • Bouncer 5 (occasionally abbreviated to B5) (2005 onwards) - A lazy greyhound that Joe Mangel is unsuccessfully trying to train to become a racing dog. Joe also claims B5 has a romantic interest in Audrey, as the only time B5 moves faster than a slow walk is to chase Audrey. As his name suggests, Bouncer 5 is the fifth incarnation of Bouncer, Joe's original Labrador from earlier in the series.
    ( ANYTHING associated with Joe Mangel is great! Long live bouncer 5)

The Original Bouncer was the best, in one storyline they follow "BOUNCER'S DREAM". Damn fine Australian Televsion!
