My ex used to work as a grip on that old tv show "Fire" so I have a few from that. I once made an origami unicorn which Kym Gyngell used as a prop when he was doing a cameo, and told my ex I was brilliant.
I told Dieter Brummer at a staff party that he was worse than my butcher because while both had skills that I did not, at least my butcher could cut meat while his acting skills left a lot to be desired.
Last but not least I used to go drinking with Rena Owen (jake the mus's wife from once were warriors) and pmsl every time she would bale some poor girl up in the bathroom to warn her off the guy she was interested in.

 

[888lowndes888]

I am related to Charles Darwin and Dean and Craig Young. Thats about all I got lol

 

[channi]

Oh I forgot the best one. We used to live around the corner from Wally Lewis, so would see him all the time, but best bit is we had an awesome dalmation dog that had the build of a bully and would roam the neighbourhood when ever he could get out and reek havok. Wally asked my dad about 4 times to sell him to him. Dad never did, was seriously the best dog in the world.

I met Ray Martin while he was in town signing copies of his book. The shopping mall where I work security for had me keeping an eye on the crowd to make sure no one got rowdy and started tearing Rays cloths off. He was a very nice guy.

back in the eighties i use to be in a band called the valentines and we opened a gig at the annandale hotel where the hard ons were one of the main acts, if i remember ratcat and the hummingbirds were also a couple of the many bands on that nite. ray from the hard ons plays drums for another band now with a real good mate of mine,instead of the usual bass, doing pop songs rather that the usual hard ons hardcore. they played recently for my best mates at a local pub for a local studio my best mate manages. best mate also plays in a band called the alohas and they played only last week with celibate rifles at some gig in newtown.
who's your current guitarist? not Richard Jakimszyn is it? we use to be huge Lime Spiders groupies, i mean huuuge, would travel to any pub in sydney to watch them, them and the trilobites..huuugggee..
