They have an academy for Swans? Shock. Strange behaviours of you southern folk.

Steve Waugh on my flight today from Syd to Mel this afternoon. He didn't look too happy with being seated in 1F. Not sure why?

Not sure that the people we saw are famous, but they both know some famous people on here !!!!

Monday we were on our way out of the SYD 1st class lounge and saw Shrek , who is married to Princess Fiona. He sat across the aisle from us on QF1 to DXB.

On QF 9 yesterday from DXB talking to a young guy, and started talking about status credits. I asked if he knew about AFF.

Said he had been at a gathering in Melbourne , AFF8 that we had also attended and although not a member himself is a friend of PENEGAL who is very famous !!!

Wonder if his wife thought sitting in whY was funny?

At least you won't have the reclining dilemma with the business suites in the new config.

Incidentally did you choose not to recline because of him or was that purely coincidental?

 

[clazman]

if I got SWMBO in Y and I was in J I wouldn't be here now.

didnt recline the seat as I was comfortable

currently in the Sydney lounge and Melbourne rebels are here

Considering Luc is 2.18cm tall, I think he has all rights to sit in J.

Not disputing his right to J just questioning why someone who was on a handsome NBL salary would book SWMBO in whY.

He would have made some money in the NBA, but he wasn't exactly a marquee player, although BRW estimated his wealth at 35 million. Maybe no room in J. She is his second wife, so maybe some type of prenup? In some divorce settlements, some partners claim living costs they have become use to...

I got a text message to that effect when you landed in LHR

 

[clazman]

Seat along side him was empty

?

Really upset booked this flight specifically for the new business suites and plane got switched.

Wasted 4 hours in the lounge waiting for this flight if I had known the switch I would have been home slot earlier

Presumably they have separate bank accounts?

 

[whatmeworry]

Well this is his second wife, he might have learnt a lesson from the first one!

 

[clazman]

isnt she a famous cook / chef in her own right?

 

[alieninperth]

Yes, Anna Gare. I think I read somewhere that her own net worth was considerable as well. She has fronted a few tv shows and written quite a few cook books.
