I Predict A Breakdown

Getting yoghurt out of the fridge for breakfast, I found myself with the song 'I Predict A Riot' going around my head. (Something to do with those boistrous bifidus digestivus bacteria?) What confused me was that it didn't seem to be the Kaiser Chiefs singing - the voice was quite different. And then I realised that I was hearing Alan Fletcher, aka Doctor Karl Kennedy from Neighbours, and the version he performed with his band Waiting Room on a documentary I saw about Neighbours a few weeks ago. Witness, if you dare:



Karl Kennedy has taken up residence inside my head and is singing to me. Disturbing.

I'd be worried if I were you...
Karl Kennedy how very alarming. What is it with Neighbours? Do all the actors in it harbour musical pretensions?

I saw that documentary too. Karl Kennedy was the most disturbing thing in it. Why would anyone go and see his band?

One word: students.

Of course, we can't talk. We watched a documentary about Neighbours.

I've been meaning to ask (and sorry if I missed your long post on this): how have you been getting on with neighbours since its move to Five? With latest round of double-up trailers they're doing for N & H&A it occurred to me to ask! (and what IS happening with blind Susan! I remember when she had her fall/ memory loss far too vividly for someone who doesn't actually watch the programme...)

I now take an hour-long Neighbours and Home and Away break at lunchtime, the ad breaks are neatly placed to help me get my meal together...

Regarding Susan, her symptoms are so obvious that I guessed her problem weeks ago and have been bored out of my mind waiting for the show to catch up. I will not spoiler it here though!
