    After much deliberation I've come to the conclusion that Neighours is by far the best soap on telly at the moment

    REASONS WHY:
    (1) It's set in Australia! I mean which is more interesting, a soap based around a farm in Yorkshire or one down under?

    (2) The girls arent eyesores!! Which would u chose, Sky from Neighbours or Deirdre from Corrie?

    (3) Its world famous theme tune!!! Everyone knows it. Ok so Corrie and Eastenders have well known ones too but theirs dont have words to make funny changes outta. Im sure that everybody has heard some variation of the Neighbours tune at some point!

    Theres others I could mention too but I'll just rest my case.

    No. Home and Away kicks its ass. Its also set in Australia, the women are better looking (Sky is a little chipmunk) and the song is WAY better. Great storylines too, and two briliantly evil characters, Amanda and Josh. H&A all the way!!!!!!!!

    And Home & Away has Alf Stewart of course. The last word in any of these arguments.

    Without a doubt, the best story in recent times was in Neighbours with Harold trying to kill Paul. So unlikely, yet realistic. However, I started a new job a few weeks back and cant watch neighbours any more so I dont know hwhat happened:confused:

    That was a good stroy without a doubt. But the neghbours one for its unpredictable nature was better.

    Not for me, H&A is too movie-ish. Neighbours all the way

    Neighbours is by far the best soap around. Best acting, storylines and eye candy. ;)

    Both are rotten, but at least Deirdre can claim she's an aul wan.

    The one Boyd is with is far nice than Sky.

    Both Izzy and Ned leave later in the year. It's rumoured that Izzy is killed off.

    I've always been a big Neighbours fan, but H&A is ten times better at the moment. Neighbours has become consumed with young love and attempted murder involving Harold Bishop and Paul Robinson. (Never thought I'd be writing that).

    To Be Honest Neighbours Bores The Crap Out Of Me. Although Its Not As Bad As Eastenders...way Way Bad. Corrie Is Good Though With Good Actors And Stories. I Like Fair City The Best Because Its Got Good Scripts And At Least The Characters Are Real People..plus Its Irish!:d
