On the NY apartment, it was the Gellar's aunt who owns it, it's protected by law against rent rises. I remember one of the red top bus tour guides explaining this to us, she said she was living in a huge 3 bed apartment there, she had wanted to move state for a while but was waiting until one of her nieces turned 18 and took the lease on.

Everyone seems to go to bed without taking off their make-up.

Back to 24...

If you're stabbed or shot , it only takes one hour of grimacing before you can completely forget about it and move on with your life, pain-free.

In Fair city, nobody cooks at home or has a kettle. Coffee in vinos in the morning, coffee and sandwiches in McCoy's at lunch time, Hungry pig in the evening, then back to McCoy's for a few pints. Do any grocery shopping in the local Spar. They must all be pulling in some high wage to live like that.

If you need to park somewhere in a major city, there is always a free parking spot right outside the building you're going to. Major cities don't have parking issues.

Unless of course you are running late to be somewhere important, then there is no parking within 100 blocks and you have to abandon your car and walk, leaving it unlocked, with the windows down. It'll still be there when you come back.

Your doctor will be only delighted if you pop over to his house for some free medical advice .When you go home he'll spend the rest of his day staring into space with a worried expression thinking about you.

If you ask a stranger out you'll never need to exchange numbers or arrange a time or place to meet. You'll just say "fancy a drink sometime?" , they'll say "awrigh'..", and you'll both by magic turn up at the local pub together in the next few days.

If you so much as mention a long lost relative they'll arrive on your door within a week and they will invariably be big trouble.

And no matter how chronic or awful your money worries, even if you're about to lose the house or can't feed the kids, you'll still go out for daily crossaint and coffee, chips in the chipper, pasta in the bistro and make several visits to the pub over the course of the day... because you have to take care of the essentials.

Not noticing ambient noise in conversations.

That's true. You never hear in Fair City a dog outside starting to act up. Or the character's conversations are never interrupted by a roar from he other side of the room or whatever.

Noone in soapland can have the same name as another character.

In EastEnders there was Billie Jackson and Billy Mitchell in the square at the one time but the former was killed off.

This actually drives me mad!

They are apparently so engrossed in their conversations they completely ignore the food in front of them.

In TV land when 2 people start kissing for the first time they are taking clothes offto have sex within 10 seconds, and then they both climax at the exact same time.

Whenever someone is typing something they have to read out loud every single word they just typed.

No matter how serious your marital difficulty, no matter how delinquent your child, no matter how serious the charges are in court or what natural disaster has tragically befallen you, all your problems will not only be solved but you will also have a new and improved perspective on life having learned some valuable life lessons, and all within the 30/60 minute runtime of the show.

That idyllic rural villages have homicide rates comparable to Chechnya. *cough*Midsomer*Cough*

When you're pregnant by the local priest and he doesn't know yet you'll see no problem with having a stand up argy bargy with your parents over the counter of the local caf about the merits of telling the priest v's not telling him.
So what if the place is full of customers, sure they'd have no interest in that sort of news. Not one of them will look up from their coffee.

Also amnesia is rife in TV land and paralysis from complete spinal cord sever rarely lasts longer than 6 weeks.

Half the cast of Eastenders are street traders living in very decent gaffs in London.....

No one goes into a room and forgets what they came in for.

Despite living in an all-electric mansion, whenever a woman in a nightdress goes outside to investigate a scary noise, by law she must carry only a candle

When helicopters or airplanes are attacking a giant monster or even just normal heros they get up close and personal. At which point they can be taken out by swatting or throwing something in the rotors.

The whole point of modern weapons is to be able to kill from a distance.

An A10 can put 80% of it rounds in a 12m target 1.2Km away, and it uses explosive shells so near misses can still be lethal. Other aircraft would be able to the same from a little closer in, ie. way outside handgun range.

Cruise missiles and Guided missiles are more accurate, and from further away.

They just order ''a pint'' and the barmaid knows exactly what brand it is. Also, there's a shocking murder every other year, crime stats must be through the roof.

I just order a pint in the local every time and always get what I want. A Guinness. Barman knows me this years.

The whole soaps thing to be honest.
If eastenders or coronation Street was real no one would be living there

After so much that's happened to everyone you'd think the place was haunted...
