How Long You Been a Fan?

[HOTMAILBABE]

I started watching regularly in 2000, i watch it when i was a kid with my mum but when i hit my teens i stop watching it for a while

[D B Louise]

Hmm....I can't even remember it was that long ago! Lol I was only a kid and I'm 17 now so it's been a while.

I can remember Shane and Angels wedding, that was like 1993 i think. So its been heaps long, almost 14yrs

Ive been watching since the pilot episode in 1988 as a 5 year old. I watch it religously. Now I have my own children crowded around the tv watching the show.

My earliest memory is Bobby coming out of the frige. I remember it simply because I was so terrified at the sight of it. I would have only been 5 or 6 when it aired as well.

I also vividly remember Selina drinking from the can coke which had a bee/wasp in it.

As part of Bobby coming out of the fridge did Ailsa see an imprint of a hand coming out of the wall? I remember that but I'm not sure if it's Home and Away or not.

The day I started watching regularly was the day after Josie slept with Marc and also the day that Robbie stole Kim's surfboard, lost it and then jumped off a cliff. I do remember an earlier episode from Alf's brain tumor storyline and he saw dozens of Ailsas on the beach.

I do remember an earlier episode from Alf's brain tumor storyline and he saw dozens of Ailsas on the beach.

I don't remember that. I remember the Alf tumour storyline obviously, but not that scene. Damn me for skipping episodes!!!

I wasn't exactly a fan at this point, but I remember quite a lot of early scenes.

* Shannon, Alf and someone else were on a boat and there was a mine in the water, I can't reemmebr what exactly happened, but it definately exploded.

* The earthquake, this episode is heavily available on the internet, so you probably think I'm making up that I saw it on its broadcast, but I did I distintivally remember Angels house swaying, because it was the only time when the camera kept still and we could actually see the walls moving, and it really scared me as a child. I remember Alf having a heart attack, but I remember it differently. He was wearing his trademark hat and there was loads of sand and dust pouring on his head, and he was standing up staright whilst having his heart attack. Oh and it was in daylight. Those were probably just afterthoughts and my imagination playing up. Do I remember his shop actually disappering down a hole though?

* Angel being run over, ofcourse, as children, we are heavily lectured on road safety, so this is the kind of scene that stays with you. Again, faulted memory, as I remember her spinning as she was walking, at the top of a hill whilst Shane was at the bottom and she couldn't hear him shouting to her. It never actually happened like that......

* Sam being hit by a firework. He was with some other people in the dark, and they let off a firework, it went up, came back down and didn't explode. After a while Sam ran up to it and it exploded in his face. Afterwards he had all these purple blisters and burns on his face....

* Alf being electrocuted when he was working on a boat and Ailsa just sitting in a wheelchair completely "Not Bothered", Duncan was trying to help him, but Ailsa wouldn't let him. Dark Ailsa at her worst methinks.........

I also have a vague memory of Pippa falling over infront of some students, I only remember it because I felt sorry for her.
