Carry On Neighbours

Could Neighbours get any funnier? Karl & Susan are over in London on holiday - where Karl has planned both a proposal (on the London Eye) and a wedding (their third together, naturally). So far during their trip, not content with bumping into Izzy (who Karl left Susan for last time they were married and is now heavily pregnant with Karl's baby, though he doesn't know he's the father!) who is having a high profile affair with a married footballer, they've also come across Emma Bunton, who found the engagement ring when it went awry, Julian Clary, who lent Izzy his mobile phone to make a call, Michael Parkinson, who happened to be wandering down the South Bank, Neil Morrissey who was the vicar who married them and Jono Coleman and Sinitta, of all people, who were roped in to be the witnesses to the wedding, which took place on a boat on the Thames (so, given that it's not legal to get married outside in England it won't be valid anyway. You'd have thought the Rev. Neil Morrissey would know that. But then, he is just an actor). Then, obviously, Izzy showed up, at which point her waters broke and she had a precipitate labour (i.e. very fast) and gave birth in the middle of the service on the boat, caught by Karl who was still unaware he was the father. Shortly afterwards of course, Susan overheard Izzy telling the footballer so she now knows but didn't tell Karl. Yet.

Laugh? I thought my waters had broken too for a moment.

I got nearly to the end of this story thinking you were talking about YOUR neighbours (and given that you are moving around I was also trying to work out who were your neighbours on Thursday!), and also thinking that funny/interesting things always seem to happen to you, or in this instance your neighbours, and then it suddenly struck me (not being a soap fan).....you mean it was all on the telly!! Phew!
