The Open isn't open for Summer.

Hehe sorry I couldn't think of a better headline!

It's always good to have an excuse to write a Neighbours article. So here's one. According to DT, Marisa Siketa (who is guest character Summer in Ramsay Street) decided to wander into the Australian Open in Melbourne (not too far from Erinsborough) and got thrown out for wearing the same t-shirt as a rogue element that caused headlines across the world for violence at the tennis.

Now, the only violence I get at the tennis is the strain in my neck from the ball going one side to the other. Other than that why would you go to the tennis to beat up people?

As spelt out in the article, mobs from Croats and Serbs have been at it at Australian sporting events for some time (I can remember that there was violence at a soccer match as well), but what can we do about it?

Maybe if they watched more Neighbours and decided that the only way to get back at people who annoyed you would to be more like Summer and plan a sneaky scheme to dump water on their head - maybe they would learn that life is about going down to Lassiter's and having a beer.

And that's when good neighbours become good friends.
