Yep, I'd recognise that stalker anywhere



Did you go up to him and see if he remembered you?

Matt White??? on my QF flight SYD-MEL today. Wearing a 7 V8 Supercars sweater. Several pax said hello Matt as they boarded otherwise I would have no idea. (I had to Google "Matt", "Channel 7" and "V8" to find a picture.) Fortunately he didn't bother me on the flight at all.

Maggie Beer in the OOL DJ lounge about noon today. Such a lovely lady she is.

Wayne Bennett in 1a this morning. For a guy remarkably silent in press conferences, he was very chatty.

Next time you see him, ask if he's tweeted about our conference yet.

[Love to travel]

Last year saw Borat and Isla Fisher (Borats wife who kept crying baby in economy with us plebs and Nanny all flight from LAX to Syd, then glided in from front of plane to take her to get the "Look what a hands on Mum I am" shots as they got off (saw them in the paper the next day). A little hypocritical? Also saw Cameron Daddo and Alison on same flight - times must be tough for them at the moment as they were in economy with the rest of us and had to collect their own bags (unlike SBC family who left poor Nanny to deal with all that while they were wisked away)

Stu Magill was in the SIN J Lounge before the LHR services on the 16th.

Landed into SYD yesterday and entered the arrivals hall to much cheering and singing. I felt very DYKWIA!

(apparently some bloke who kicks a round ball for a living was on the flight too.... ESPN ruined my delusions of grandeur)

 

[QF WP]

Drmikki, the least you could have done was get his autograph . Might make me go to a couple of games this year, rather than watching them all on the TV.

Sorry Lindsay, I am not sure I'd recognise him even after reading the article and seeing him on TV, and had never heard of him prior to Sunday!

I remember once I run into Joanna Griggs in the J Lounge in SYD and said I remember you and she said most people only know me now from TV and I want no I remember you from swimming and a few girly magazine things.

I rang my partner and she told me that she is on Better Homes and Garden and I asked her when it was on she told me that it is 7.30 on a Friday night and I then said the only show on at 7.30 on a Friday night is the NRL(Rugby League)

Sorry Lindsay, I am not sure I'd recognise him even after reading the article and seeing him on TV, and had never heard of him prior to Sunday!

he's the God of the round ball game!

Penny Wong in J on DJ

Bill Shorten in BNE DJ lounge

And sat behind GEN Peter Cosgrove last night (Dash-8, poor man!)

 

[Sprucegoose]

Well, in a somewhat dubious honour I was seated near two cough stars on my way back to PER from SYD last night on DJ.
Don't ask how I knew they were cough stars.

How did you know they were cough stars?

Were they successful cough stars presumably seated in business or out of work cough stars seated with the unwashed?

Monday this week I was in the DJ Lounge in SYD when I heard a bloke speaking with a French accent on his phone, pacing up and down furiously. Meanwhile his laid-back companion sat in a lounge chair and made his calls "G'day mate, Pete Evans here." Worked out they were the two chefs from My Kitchen Rules. The Frenchman was on the dance show too apparently. Anyway it sounded like they were flying around the country preparing a new series. Both rather tall guys. Not what I expected.

Some dude in there (we were in the quiet part of the lounge) piped up with "The missus is a huge fan, can I get a photo of youse guys?" to which they agreed. Then he added he was a fan too.
