    Crocodile Dundee
    Mel Gibson
    Home And Away
    Shortland Street?
    ...and the male "singer" who used to be in Neighbours. ummm... Jason Donavan! Thats right, Jason Donovan.

    I demand an apology for mentioning George Lucas on their list. I hold George in such high regard, that I'm prepared to die for him.

    Well, first things first...

    There's no way we should apologise for either Kylie Minogue or Home and Away.

    Kylie is practically English for a start, and she's got more fans over there than over here (kinda due to the fact that she's become so English-ised).

    You guys love our soaps. And don't try and tell me otherwise, 'cause I was living over there last year. Everyone was going on about how good it was the Home and Away was coming back (after not being shown for about 6-8 months). Even on one of those morning shows (like Today, or something), the people were going on about it. *And* Neighbours was one of the nominations for the British Television Awards (which, if I'm not mistaken, were about British Television shows... not Australian ones).

    So you'vce got to take them back. And Mel.

    And what the heck is Shortland Street? Sounds like a UK soap. A Coronation Street spin-off?

    Anyway, you guys need to apologise for David Beckham, the prices of Citadel Miniatures and the Spice Girls. You don't really have to apologise for Oasis, imo (they provide a bit of entertainment, even if it's not because of their music). Anyone want to add to that list?

    Australia should apologise for Kylie and Jason and all our soapies?

    HA!


    We exiled them all long ago.


    It's the Brits that are keeping them alive in this world!


    J'accuse vous, Brits!!


    Apologise for sponsoring the continued existence of Kylie, Jason, Home and Away, Neighbours, and all the other crap that we have been trying to get rid of for years!


    HA!

    Shortland Street is New Zealand's version of Home and Away and Neighbours - and yes, I'm very depressed that I know that fact.

    Kylie Minougue - I refuse to acknowledge this person's existence.
    Rolf Harris - Ditto.
    Crocodile Dundee - blame the Americans.
    Mel Gibson - same here.
    Home And Away - well, you poms are crazy enough to watch this garbage.
    Shortland Street? - blame New Zealand for this - we had nothing to do with it.
    ...and the male "singer" who used to be in Neighbours. ummm... Jason Donavan! Thats right, Jason Donovan. - if you can't remember who the hell he is, then you've succeeded in wiping him from your mind, no apology needed. You may however be able to make a fortune selling the secret to us.

    Ever since Kylie Minogue showed up on a Gerling album, I've been willing to cut her a little slack.

    I went to see Mercury Rev last night and in the foyer of the theatre was a poster of Gina G. It brought back all sorts of horrid memories, so I'm willing to say sorry for that. EVEN THOUGH she got her break in the freaking Eurovision Song Contest, so you guys should take some of the blame there.

    OK I apologise on behalf of All New Zealanders for shortland street, but its really just the New Zealand version of Young doctors (anyone here remember that grundy tv classic) and Shortland streets one saving grace is that it had a character in the early days called doctor Ropata played by none other than mr Jango Fett himself, Temuera Morrison, in fact i think jay lagaia was also in it at one stage too.

    "you're not in Guatemala any more doctor Ropata!!"

    Australia is simply reciprocating the policies of England in the 1700-1800's. We are sending all our undesirables back to England.

    No apology will be forthcoming.
