21st December Mel-Syd Mrs Pvc sat behind Curtis Stone, he declined a meal service then proceeded to pick off his assistants plate. Kept reclining full speed during meal service nearly knocking Mrs Pvc's wine over twice, twirled a teaspoon constantly for the duration of the flight. Upon waiting to disembark attempted to try and remove the toilet sign on the bulkhead, when it remained firmly in place started to fiddle with the toggles on the bassinet position, luckily the doors opened and we could deplane. Very agitated behavior.

Cutis Who?
 
Had a retired senator on board who had the nickname "the toe cutter". Clearly there is life after politics.
We get a chance this year to advance some political retirements in both Federal and State elections in WA.

Yes Sprucegoose you are correct plus you know about Romans chundering so they could eat more. Is there no end to your knowledge!
 
Actor Gary Sweet picking up his golf clubs - he's actually shorter than I always thought, seemed 10 feet tall in Police Rescue days, Sandy Coates the Olympics guy at Syd airport in early Dec and in the Exec Lounge of the Syd Hilton just before Xmas - Steve Waugh - I had to tell hubby to quit staring at him, thought he was going to do the "we are unworthy" salute to him as he's rather sports minded

OT - Steve Waugh and I shop at the same butcher. As my childhood hero, I have to remind myself not to stare!

Quite related topics Sir!!

Lets bring on those electoral changes.

My wife flew back with John Howard from honkers, as usual calm and no fuss.
 
Whilst standing at the buffet in the flounge sometime ago someone next to me started singing. I thought who's that pretentious git and it was Billy Joel.
 
A few weeks ago I was on a flight from LAX-CUN and the Dog Whisperer was on board. Apparently that's a show on Foxtel - I had no idea who he was or that the show even existed until I was told. He was in Y with one dog and his kids were in F with another (must be the rule of only one dog is allowed in each cabin on any flight).

Also coming back from LA last week the group LMFAO were on board QF94.

Somewhere at home I have a photo of myself and John Howard in a Tiger Moth.
Will have to try and find it.
 
Stayed at Henry Jones IXL Art Hotel in Hobart on Jan 11. As we were being escorted to our 'upgraded' Henry Jones Suite Rm 222 we passed some dude in corridor hiding under a baseball cap. Cruiserette spins and whispers did you see who that was? Me towing like 13 suitcases - have I ever told you guys how light Cruiserette travels - replies nope - that was Ricky Ponting.

Oh ok - Punter dives into Rm 217 just 3 doors down.

We shower up and get all licketty split ready to head over to Muirs for dinner - but we gotta have a coughtail or 2 in the coughtail bar on ground floor the Long Bar.

Lo and behold here is Punter again in the bar hiding under his baseball cap enjoying a quiet beer in a quiet corner with a mate of his.

Then this woman pesters and pesters him like 3 times over an hour getting her arm autographed - some magazine type publication autographed - then a cap.

Jeez how could you not get sick of this - to Punters credit he was a perfect receptive gentleman the whole time. She finally left and I gave Ricky a sly wink - huge grin on his face then back to just enjoying a beer and being a human being again.

Not much into this whole famous people adulation concept - I bet many of those famous people aren't either - goes with the territory though doesn't it.
