Sorry Nick, but netball is netball. Can't get too excited watching it. Plus I probably get too distracted to take any interest in the actual game itself.Ahh you get a good game and it is really good.. Gold medal match in Delhi was a heart stopper!
Dr Fiona Wood on MEL-PER last night.

Great flight even on the new A332.

Oh, and in terms of vague 'fame', I shared a flight with the NZ cycling team...
...No bogan behaviour, polite, well-mannered, quiet - a pleasant surprise from previous (AFL) experiences. Quite aesthetically pleasing too
Fiona counts?? Do we have a "Famous people seen at work" thread?
Also, technically she's Miss, not Dr - surgeons are traditionally Mr (and these days, Miss or Mrs) in recognition of their apprenticed barber-surgeon origins (as opposed to the university educated physicians). Yep, thats 15-odd years of study to gain the title "Dr" and then lose it again!
Hereth ends the pointless lesson

No! From another thread ejb was travelling business class and was sitting in 3A so she must have been in 3B.Did she have the middle seat?Dr Fiona Wood on MEL-PER last night.

Is that a WA thing? All the surgeons I know ( NSW) are "Dr ".
Mind you so are all the dentists, vets and chiropractors
I think it's more an in-profession thing, since the average punter would struggle with the distinction. Certainly all the Yellow Pages listings contain "Dr"! (Don't get me started on the vets/dentists/chiros!!)
It's more a Aust/UK thing, it certainly doesn't occur in the US and confuses them greatly. However, some surgeons, especially the more traditional ones, consider it an act of grave offence should an unsuspecting medical student call them "Doctor" not "Mister"! Woe betide anyone foolish enough to attempt to be more familiar than surnames... :evil:
It's more confusing for females, I know many stick with "Dr" however I know one rather ball-breaking general surgeon who was aiming to be called "Mister" - I sure wasn't going to argue with her! :mrgreen:
Sorry for OT wanderings.

It's certainly the same way in Melbourne. The surgeons are Mr / Miss / Ms / Mrs.

Obviously the exception is when flying, when almost all of us use "Dr" in the forlorn hope that it will get us an op-up :mrgreen:

Princess you must be very young.When training at RPA many years ago as soon as someone got their FRACS they immediately assumed the title Mister.Is that a WA thing? All the surgeons I know ( NSW) are "Dr ".
