aussie soaps plus Xena and Hercules.......that is very very mixed up. I remember watching Xena for the first time and cracking up with laughter. I can't understand why that was so funny to me but it was.

That's pretty cool though that so many Aussie's/Aucklanders are getting to playing in such a big film! Triology of films actually!:thumbs:

:elfqueen:

[Lord Raistlin]

Xena and Hercules is very funny. See them wearing funny dress!

[Eowyn]

I agree xena and hercules are funny! erm...... some of those mentioned were before my time I think :huh: but lionel was one of my fave characters.... this is goiung to be so funny.... have to tell my best friend she'll find this amusing (also watches shortland street and lotr both because I got her hooked) :grin:

[Catz]

aussie soaps plus Xena and Hercules

AAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!............................. ok....now that i have that out of my system....lol roflmao
it is a KIWI soap(i cant believe im saying this....i LOATHE Shortland St)...and they are KIWI actors that is NZers...you DO NOT call a NZer an Aussie.....thats like calling a Canadian an American....not a good look lol lol
NZers get a bit hyped about being called Aussies, mainly cos as soon as a NZer becomes famous they also become, to the Aussie press, Australian :rolleyes: lol roflmao lol
