Kate Williams - you have to be a certain demographic to know who she is and if you don't know or don't care then I certainly don't care either

Some years ago I was flying MEL- BNE and sat next to him. A nice guy so I changed my AFL allegiance to Hawthorn. A little while later it was announced he was taking over the coaching of Brisbane.

The kid from Frankston has done well.

Don't forget he coached the Pies for almost ten years and indeed grabbed a GF in 1990; I'm pleased you didn't follow that dental-challenged rabble.

Not seen, but at CBR today Pauline Hanson (& another male passenger with the same last name) were paged, twice, to board a QLink flight. It could've been a different Pauline Hanson as well, you know ...

A few years back a woman in Qatar Business Class was convinced she was talking to the guy on the left.

That's Philip Seymour Hoffman (He had recently been in 'The Hunger Games')

Problem was he had died 6 months earlier!
