Pretty certain I’m seeing Des Hasler in the Môvenpick Hobart foyer/lounge just now.

So he hasn’t had decent hair cut yet?

My dad would absolutely approach him just to ask when he's finally getting a haircut

I think he was watching the Titans Vs Panthers match on his phone, so I opted to leave him in peace.

In the BNE VA lounge today, Mabior Chol, Key Forward for the Hawks. He's a bit hard to miss.

I flew with Sir Ian McKellen on Thursday’s QF161 in J from SYD-WLG. Sir Ian is in NZ to start shooting on The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum.

I tried not to bump Sir Ian’s seat too much, even as he failed in what I thought would have been his natural duty to prevent Y people from being able to pass into the J lav

Cheers,
Matt.

“You shall not pass … here!”

I recently flew on the same flight as the current federal Leader Of The Opposition, Angus Taylor MP, on QF1522 MEL-CBR, in J. He was in a different row to me, so no communication took place.

Interestingly, it was quite an empty J cabin for that flight. On the QF A220s, there are 10 J seats (staggered) and only 3 were filled (AT, me, and one other person).

N.B.. I'm merely stating a name, not trying to start a political debate.

Later that night, completely separate to the above, I caught up with @Ade.

So you actually caught up with someone really important?

No denying that. It was a lot of fun catching up with @Ade.

Haha I’m flattered and humbled - both at the same time

It was super fun catching up with @MG1

Little did I know that our very own @MG1 was the quite the entertainer at Karaoke

The whole club was pumping and jumping to his performance

Post event there may or may not have been fans from the audience swarming around @MG1 to take pics or ask for an autograph
