Thread: Name Dropping

Went fly fishing for a few years with John Waters, and played pool once with Mel Gibson at a pub in Yackandandah, except I didn't know who he was at the time.
Also played a game of snooker with the late Eddie Charlton for $50,000:00, cost me $10 to play with proceeds to the RCH, I got the break and he finished the game.
I might add too that John Waters is a civil engineer I know, not the actor

Had a yarn with Slim Dusty at a rodeo in Mt Isa Slim Chance LOL

Talked with Peter Carey while he signed a book (doesn't count I suppose) Why Not?

I'm sure there's more, but oddly enough, it doesn't really mean anything to me. The only person I'd really like to meet is Leonardo da Vinci, and he's long gone.

Same here Leonardo used to read his works in the library.

Carry Pine

SWMBO is the queen of meeting celebs

Mark Philippoussis helped her break into her car

She bailed up Pauline Hanson and interrogated her in the bathroom at Doyles during a boozy business lunch

she has served drinks to Alice Cooper amongst others (including Sir Elton),but apparently Mr Cooper was the nicest.

She has procured visa's for Fifty Cent and Snoop Dog (the first time)

She met Amanda Vanstone while she was Immigration minister....Ms Vanstone had actually heard of her. SWMBO was pretty chuffed about that.

Just to mention a few she has told me about...

In Mt Isa I once had a friend named John Minogue. He was from Melbourne and he had me absolutely convinced that he was Kylie's cousin. I told a range of people this interesting fact, and it became known far and wide that John was related to Kylie (and quite close to her according to what he told me). I actually reached the stage of jokingly introducing him to people as "Kylie's cousin, John".

When he returned after a holiday in Melbourne, I asked him if he'd managed to catch up with Kylie.

"Kylie who? he asked.

"Your cousin Kylie, you idiot", I replied.

He roared with laughter: "You didn't believe that crap did you? I've never met her in my life!"

I did a good thing. Took a drunk driver off the road but not soon enough.
I shoulda gone out to his car while he was inside and got the keys.

Leone Jones lived with me. One and a half yrs. House share.

You would have read about him nxt day in some crap , Melb pictorial that is suitable to be read ( pardon me, pictures looked at ) on crowded trains.
