Thank you very much for your positive feedback. I hold you in the
highest esteem as a MM/JSW author, too (technically and graphically).

There's no way I'm going to give up the soap that gave me Allana
Truman! I have followed Neighbours faithfully since about 1988,
enjoying its combination of great plots, beautiful girls, "mongrels"
that you love to hate... heck, even the hundreds of silly plots
too! You can always tell from the music. ;-)

Not true! Australia has already given me:
* the Australian Open (and other tennis-tournaments)
* Jelena Dokic
* Neighbours
* Home and Away (another great soap, with more serious and dramatic
plots than Neighbours, which I started watching last year and now
find that I can't give it up)

Australia is a beautiful hot country where I would love to live if I
didn't have my roots in England.
