My boss sat next to Simon Birmingham on a flight to ADL right after the election. QF of course.
The Senator was very quiet... unsurprisingly

I ran into him the day after that at a work appointment and I had to bite my tongue. I really wanted to give him a serve but he might come in useful again

I was in the VA Lounge in MEL last night with @anat0l and over the PA was an announcement for Glenn Shorrock - he was travelling back to home to SYD and must have been on one of the two cancelled flights

Speaking of politics I’ve run into Antony Green 3 times now. The first time in the Sydney domestic QP I actually walked into him while leaving the bathroom. He’s much shorter then I’d imagined.

Now what are the odds?!?

 

[vetrade]

Anthony or Antony from the ABC?

Sorry, Antony, failed to pick up on that.

In December while at the front of the TSA Precheck queue in LAX about to hand over my passport I had Patrick Dempsey and family get escorted in front of me.

June 2022
Christina Aguilera at LHR T5 First Wing being escorted through security by special services.

Didn’t stop some absolute DYKWIA from shouting out about “there’s a queue you know”
Obviously completely missed the special services accompanying her.
I was in the CCR shortly afterwards and didn’t see her so I assume that she boarded her aircraft after passing through security.

In front of you ?! DYKWIA…

after waiting in the queue for like 45 minutes (it was just before thanksgiving) it was a bit annoying, but thought it was also cool to see someone that I recognised.

Never heard of the chap

he was on Grey's Anatomy

Patrick Dempsey

he was on Grey's Anatomy

I thought he was with Mc Donalds. I saw comments about a Mc Dreamy.

While ascending the escalator to the SYD F lounge just now, coming down opposite me was one K. Rudd...maybe he had been warned I was arriving?

Quite possibly, if your username is anything to go by

Tony Abbott and daughter in the Sydney F lounge this morning. They got up when the AKL flight was announced and then I couldn't see them in J. So I checked and they were in the front row of Y!

No inclination to say hello.

He normally flys Y on private trips.

I guess legroom isn't an issue for him.

 

[sudoer]

Probably still CL, his upgrade rate must be quite high.

I am reliably informed that he normally turns down upgrades. And of course any former PM would be CL.
