Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

Someone famous in 1A qf465 yesterday but as usual can't remember the name. I strongly suspect he was playing in the 80's tribute at the MCG final today though. Or was he 70s?
 
I saw Michael Pascoe sitting at one of the Qantas computers in the Qantas Business Lounge today at 1pm.


And on the 8th September John Howard ( former PM not the actor ) was behind me in the security line at Sydney Qantas Domestic terminal.


:D :D
 
Mrscove had Stephen Smith on her flight to LAX.
Now there's a guy who if he had 12 watches on his arm would only give you the time of day if you could help him move from Defence to a higher position!

Saw little Johnny at BDT a couple of weeks back just before midday walking out of the terminal on his mobile probably trying to track down his ComCar driver maybe.

Saw AFL coach Leigh Matthews at BDT today.

This would be the airport where a bunch of people were able to engage in a small riot in the hall resulting in a death if I remember rightly? Glad a former PM is being given the once over instead.
 
Just now - one of our gold medal female volleyballers, think it's Natalie someone?? Kerri Pottharst's playing partner? She was coming into the QP at Bne Intl.
Sitting here in the small F lounge enclave now & also saw Dr John Tickell.

All this talk of riots & former PM's reminds me that rioting is not only confined to SYD airport. Not too long ago there was an altercation in the BNE CL involving a former PM's (2nd) wife & one of his daughters from wife 1st wife that got a bit physical. AFP had to be called etc. :shock:

Let me guess, the PM in question was the one who once uttered 'Any boss who sacks his workers for not coming in today is a bum'. ;)
 
Saw the media man for TAB Sportsbet in the J lounge in SYD last week, not sure of his name though.

He is on the betting show on Fox Sports News.

.....or referred to pilots as glorified bus drivers in 1989.

Then when the architect of the 'recession we had to have' had his eyes on the top job, before entering the CL he'd ask if the PM was in there & if he was avoid him by going to the QP. :rolleyes:

I've seen jockey Chris Munce a couple of times & didn't realise how tiny he is - guess it goes with the turf! :mrgreen:

Why is it that a lot of jockeys pair up with 6 foot Glamazon girls? :shock:
