Frank lives next door to my uncle

Okay, I know a lot of people won't believe me, but Frank lives next door to my uncle. I'm not telling you where, so don't ask lol, and no I haven't met him. However, my uncle told me he was in the park with Frank the other day and this kid comes up and goes "Hey, aren't you that guy of Spicks and Specks?" and Frank just goes, "Hey, aren't you that kid that's standing in front of me?" It sounds kinda dumb, I know, but just imagine if Frank said that to you - I would be in hysterics!!

Actually, i do believe you. Stranger things have happened, and he has to live somewhere. And no, i'm not going to ask where you live. That's a brilliant reply ... just hilarious!

Lol, thanks. I've told some people before and they were like "Pssh, get stuffed."
And with the reply, I know!!! I would've pissed myself :P

I would have too! :D
I've had contact with famous people too, i'd be annoyed if people didn't believe me...

Yeah I know, it is annoying, it's happened to me several times...

Golly. a late reply!

Have you met Frank? Like, ever just gone to your Uncle's house and said, "I, er... I need to get the newspaper! From your nextdoor neighbour! Inside his house! I'll be back tomorrow..." sort of thing? I would. Really, an exploitation of a relative's location, but, who cares? It's Frank!

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

I have actually met him, but it was organised by my uncle. He knows I'm a massive fan and basically asked Frank if he was okay with coming over one night to meet me, and he was fine with it - apparently he loves doing the 'celebrity thing', and it really shows. He's got no problem just chatting with you and answering any questions you've got, and he's just generally a really great guy. He even brought me over a L&W promotional photo signed by himself and Col and wrote, 'To ______, thanks for liking all our stupid stuff.' I love it!

If I invented 6902 new synonyms for the word 'jealous' and managed to include them all in a single grammatically correct sentence, it still wouldn't come close to describing a fraction of how much I hate you right now.

[–] TheBlueBerk 18 years ago

'Course, he's got to have some friends, right? Like, obviously there ARE people who know him, and who knew him before he was Woodley...

I just wish I was one of them. *bottom lip trembles*

[–] Startanew 18 years ago

and he probably still does make friends even though h e's famous... he'd just have to make sure that people don't like him just for his celebrity status...

So... does he live with anyone?
And does he really have a labradoodle?

[–] TheBlueBerk 18 years ago

I was wondering BOTH of those things!

I was like "Aww, he called his puppy 'Dog'! Best name ever!"

And then I was wondering how he could possibly be single. And, if he is, and I find out, he won't be for long... *wink*

But I think Frank would be such a nice guy that you'd like him despite his celebrity status. You'd forgot that he was famous.

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

Unfortunately for you, no, he's not single (don't kill me! ^_^) And I'm not sure if he has a labradoodle :P

Nah, I didn't think he was single. I was just wondering if he lived with her, and stuff.

Check on the labradoodle!

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

As far as I know, Frank and his partner live together, and yes, I'll try and check on the labradoodle :P I'll come straight to this forum and post the results, so keep your eyes peeled!
What's all this stuff about Frank owning a labradoodle, anyway? o_O

"Elves are cool, man." - Orlando Bloom

[–] TheBlueBerk 18 years ago

He was talking about Dog, his labradoodle, when Lano and Woodley performed on Australia Day last year. They were frickin' hilarious! Obviously, no doubt that they would be; just confirming for you =D

If you missed it, search 'Lano and Woodley' on www.youtube.com.

Yeah, I didn't think he could be single, either. What a gorgeous guy.

Oh well, there goes that celebrity crush... *sigh*

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

Ah ok, thanks :P

AWW! That's so cool. I love them! I would love the oppitunity to meet them. Probably never will though! :(

I am a fish

[–] TheBlueBerk 18 years ago

I listened to Sing Songs, and - while I practically DIED laughing - I noticed Frank says his dog is called "The People". It was part of a joke, but it could be true, too...

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

Lol, I can imagine Frank living at home and going, 'I'm just going out to buy some food for the people,' 'I'm going to feed the people' etc. :P
Sing Songs makes me piss myself every time :P

One of my favorite songs is Bouncy Rabbit. I have it as my ringtone, and will make anyone in my general vicinity listen to it before they're allowed to leave...

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

LMAO, that song is hil-freaking-arious. They play it in Good Bye, I'm assuming you've seen it? Or going to?
I wish I could get it as my ringtone, my phone sucks ass...

By the time I heard about the show, the tickets were sold out here.

I am, however, putting my heart and soul into trying to get to Brisbane or Darwin.

I'm clinging to the hope that they'll at least release it on DVD. Not as good as the real thing, but it may be all I'll have... *sniff*

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

Aww, that sucks :(
I was lucky enough to see it at the Comedy Festival this year, and I'm going again in November :D

[–] TheBlueBerk 18 years ago

Oh, trust me. I know it sucks. I tell everybody, everyday.

Do you mean the Melbourne Comedy Festival? Are they doing their Goodbye show there?

Oh, God! Maybe I can go, after all...

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

They did do their Good Bye show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival - it's already been and gone, sorry.
They are doing three more shows in Melbourne in November, however, so if you want a ticket you'd better get one fast, 'cause they're going quickly!

[–] Startanew 18 years ago

yeah i didn't think he'd really call his dog 'the people' (though he might...) but i was just wondering about the existance of labradoodle.

so... what does his partner look like?

[–] TheBlueBerk 18 years ago

Guess who got tickets? *grins maniacally*

The seats suck - as I assumed they would after waiting so long - but I'm going. I'm frickin' going.

Startanew, I was wondering the same thing! I thought asking might look a bit... you know... tactless and obsessed? But, I was wrong.

The partner thing, not the labradoodle.

So, what does he/she look like? *sits and listens intently*

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

You got tickets? That's awesome!! What night are you going on? My seats aren't brilliant either, but they're on the bottom level and semi-close to the stage, so it's awesome all the same!
Don't know what she looks like, sorry. I haven't seen her.

"Elves are cool, man." - Orlando Bloom

[–] TheBlueBerk 18 years ago

I'm going on Friday, because I have to be back on the weekend. I can't WAIT! Best birthday present ever.

Well, except my dog.

Your tickets are six BILLION times better than mine; I'm up the top, almost at the back. I want to buy some else's tickets off them. Not just in general, I mean someone who has better seats.

Although, who would sell their Good-Bye tickets?

I'm pissed off about the seating, but hey! I'm going to see Lano and Woodley! =D

And 'she' is definitely a she? Because every other celebrity I've had a crush on ended up being up gay.

I mean, not 'ended up' gay. It's not like I turned them gay, they didn't 'end up' being gay because of me, I meant I discovered they were gay after I liked them.

Actually, how do you know he has a partner? Maybe I'm still in with a chance! *awkward chuckle*

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

Ah, ok, I'm going on the Thursday.
Lol, well my uncle's pretty good mates with Frank and he said they're a she :P

[–] TheBlueBerk 18 years ago

Dang.

But how cool is that? That you have immediate family who's good mates with Frank Woodley! What I wouldn't give... *sigh*

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

Lol, aww *hug*

Yeah, 'tis pretty cool. The only thing that sucks is that most people I see in day-to-day life have no idea who Lano & Woodley are, which I find incredible, as they're so brilliant ^___^

Which i guess is what makes them so beautifully down to earth, because they're not being constantly mugged by fans. :D

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

Very true.

--------
"Elves are cool, man." - Orlando Bloom

[–] TheBlueBerk 18 years ago

I was horrified at the number of people who had never even heard of Lano and Woodley! Like, people my age not seeing their show is understandable, but not hearing of them at all? Disgusting,

But it's true, they are so very, very normal. They're so Australian! I heart them.

Which reminds me... I read an interview in which Col and Frank both said they were single. P'raps he's hiding said partner from the public eye? *tries not to hint that Frank could be single*

Yes, OK, I know I'm nagging, but it just makes me so sad that he's not available!

I'm just assuming Col has a girlfriend, too, or I'd be after him so fast...

[–] eldon-10 18 years ago

I saw an interview with them both and Col said that the reason that the two of them 'broke up' was because Frank slept with his wife! (Jokingly of course.)

But, it just goes to show that they are very clever when covering up their private lives, and very creative! I never know what to believe!

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

Makes sense that they'd want to cover up their private life.
I'd have thought you'd be after Col already, Lano_and_Woodley? :P

--------
"Elves are cool, man." - Orlando Bloom

[–] TheBlueBerk 18 years ago

eldon-10, I know what you mean! I was reading an interview with quick facts, with stuff like birthdays and stuff, but I don't know if the answers were genuine or put there to stop people asking!

starpossum, I would never go after a taken man! At least, not that he would know of...

I just assumed both Col and Frank would have girlfriends. How could they not? However, I read an interview where it said Frank was single, so that gave me a little hope, but it said nothing about Col, so I assumed he was taken. And, as obsessed and desperate as I am, I wouldn't try to hit on a man - not even Colin Lane or Frank Woodley - who had a girlfriend.

Lol, I just realised I was speaking as though Frank or Col would automatically leave their girlfriends if I suggested I'd like to go out with them! Can anyone say 'conceited'? =D

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

Lol! Keep trying, Lano_and_Woodley ;p

[–] TheBlueBerk 18 years ago

I... I... It's so hard! I LOVE THEM! But, they're taken.

Oh, well. I can cling onto the possibility of their singledom... Oh, wait! Obviously, not trying to split them up! BUt, you know, if it happens to happen, I am SO there to console them... *wink*

[–] starpossum 18 years ago

LOL =D

[–] mikala_the_human_ 17 years ago

Colin has kids doesn't he?
Though I guess that doesn't mean you are married.
Still, they both have "partners" coz n the andrew dentoninterview (well the one I read) andrew asked something like 'isn't it weird to go to your partners and act normal," or something.
So yeah.

[–] starpossum 17 years ago

Well, according to their Good Bye Q&A, Frank is married with no kids, and Col is not married with kids (presumably divorced? Who would want to divorce Col? :P)
