She dumped Daryl for Arthur Moses SC several years ago!
Yes it was very tongue in cheek.
She didn't look a day older since I last saw her on TV giving her daily Covid briefing: "Please know..."
 
Many years ago when Eddie Jones was the Wallabies coach, he was my seat mate on a SYD/CBR flight. It was only a short flight, but long enough for him to fall asleep on my shoulder which I thought was hilarious. When we disembarked, the first thing my dad said was 'hey, did you see Eddie Jones was on your flight?!'
 
Returning home from BKK last week, I was on the same plane as the Adelaide United FC players and staff (all in Y (from what I could see), as was I). They normally travel in Y (I see them on the planes quite a bit) - only once or twice have I seen one or two staff members in domestic J. Only once have I seen them in a lounge (or at least the same one that I'm in).

I was told by the passenger sitting next to me (but didn't see myself so cannot confirm with my own eyes) that the RBA Governor was on the same flight (in J) returning from the IMF conference.

(I did apply for a points upgrade but the J cabin was full, so no luck.)
