Okay - confused.

In WOLP, at the Anger Management Session in Wuthering Heights, Thursday is surprised to recognise Heathcliff as the film star Buck Stallion.

But in LIGB, she reads about Heathcliff's 3 year stint as film star Buck Stallion in her copy of the Jurisfiction instruction manual.

So why is she surprised to recognise him?

Is that his porn star name?

I must admit to having wondered just what sort of movies he'd been in, when I first saw that given as his Hollywood name, myself.

Auntysassy - typo? Editorial stuff-up? It had to be the editors fault because we all know that Jasper is perfect and wouldn't make any mistakes.

What mistake? This is so funny, it had to be intentional. Good job, Jasper! And a little porn never hurt anyone, anyway.

The mistake would be the fact that Thursday read that Heathcliff was Buck Stallion in LIAGB, but then was surprised to realize it in WOLP. That strikes me as something Thursday would recall having read.

Unless the bit about Heathcliff in Hollywood in LIAGB was in one of the chapter headings, in which case Thursday might not have read it, at least not yet.

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

Ah. But was it a pleasant surprise or a nasty shock ??
(No don't answer that one.)

I dunno... it seems plausible to me. A few weeks ago someone emailed me to say the VP in 24 is <insert actors name which I've forgotten>. A few weeks later he appears on the show and I'm surprised to discover he was Jason Donovans dad in neighbours.

Thursday may not have made the connection when she read the name, but something clicked when she recognised him.

rob, who thinks its plausible, anyway

That statement is either so deep it would take a lifetime to fully comprehend every particle of its meaning, or it is a load of absolute tosh. Which is it, I wonder?
Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Terry Donovan

Could it be a side-effect of Aornis' attack on Thursday's memories?

no - jim robinson

nggy

oh. Sorry. Never watched Neighbours. Had more importnat things to do. Paint to watch dry; grass to watch grow. That sort of thing. And I don't watch 24 either. Bit of a sad case, aren't I?

Kaz: I think you're right. I'm sure Jason Donovan's real dad played his dad in Neighbours. No idea if his first name was Terry.

Having said that, Jim Robinson was played by Alan Dale who may be in 24. I saw he was in some american TV thing the other week as his piccie was in the TV listings.

Alan Dale was in ER briefly, and I believe he's done a few other US programmes, but I can't tell you which ones. Jason Donovans real dad in real life is Terry Donovan. Mel Gibson is not Australian, he only grew up here but we're gonna claim him anyway. And more questions about Aussie actors? Am ready and willing to answer.....

Alan Dale played Jason Donovan's dad in Neighbours (Jim and Scott Robinson), but Jason Donovan's *real* dad, Terry, played someone else in Neighbours. They lived in the house the Kennedys live in now, and I can't remember their name...Doug, his character's name was Doug.

Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) is now in BBC Scotland's dodgy soap opera, which is odd. Going up in the world?

Kaz: Paul Hogan - why?



:--

Do something pretty while you can...

Why what? Why did we love him/ why do we now ignore him? Why did anyone give birth to him in the first place? Sorry, but I need more information.

Just why... why does he exist, why was the whole world subjected to him...

He was really popular Down Under in the 70's and 80's. Back then he was actually funny, but probably only to Aussies. I don't think his humour would translate very well. Too Ocker. Then came Crocodile dundee, and the rest, as they say, is history. Unfortunately. He's considered a bit of a traitor these days. Divorced his good Aussie wife to marry a skinny Yank, went to live in America, got a face-lift. All the greatest crimes an Aussie icon could possibly consider.

They actually showed 'The Paul Hogan Show' on Britland's Channel Four a few years back, late at night on (I think) Fridays. I found most of it pretty funny (sketch of ex-English convict released into modern Aussie society was a definite winner).
