I think I may have a bit of a thing for redheads, my first boyfriend was a ginger, my ex boyfriend was a ginger, my best friend is, my brother is and as much as he tried to deny it (why? why? be proud of the flames boy!) my favourite ever Big Brother housemate was a ginger — I am talking about you, Sexy Rexy Newmark.

Randomly I came across a social networking site especially for Redheads at Redhedd.com — it’s for use not only by fellow redheads to socialise and chat, but is also open to redhead appreciators such as myself

Imagine my surprise a few days ago when tuning in for my daily dose of Neighbours, only to see a strange woman in place of Libby Kennedy — who is she and why is she pretending to be Libby?

At first I thought I was either drunk or still sleeping, but no, they really did just change the actress who plays her without warning. Scary!

Well except there was a warning, at the start of the episode there was a little addon to note that; ‘In this episode the part of Libby Kennedy will be played by Betty Bob*’ — only I always fast forward that part so I didn’t hear it, that’ll learn me.

Google reliably informs me that the actress who usually plays the Libster got a bad case of pneumonia very suddenly and it was too late to write her out of the story lines for a few months (she has a wedding coming up don’t you know!) so they made the decision to just replace her temporarily.

Fair enough.

* Not the actress’ actual name, it’s something much more normal than that, I just don’t remember it off hand.

You know what I hate? It’s hard to find good forums to discuss reality TV on, hence part of the reason I have this blog — every thing is so bloomin PC these days that you can’t say any thing even remotely controversial without getting people report your posts or moderators slap you down for it.

I just joined some political chat rooms at ArgueWithEveryone.com, the site is very liberally moderated so hopefully I will be able to get into a good debate or two over there
