Ok 2 more.
I lived on a street which an Aussie rock leg sang about.

And I don't care who believes this or not but I dated a supermodel before she was famous

BS.

Why is living on a street which was featured in a song so unbelievable, pray tell?

Jenny Kee's Mum was my mother in law's next door neighbour.

So we got to see both her and her daughter a few times.

My ex mother and father in laws lived a few doors down from Luke Ricketson's parents and they knew him as a little kid. So I got to meet them a few times too.

Remember Johnny O'Keefe? Well he has a brother who was a Supreme Court Judge. His name? Barry.

I got to meet him through my ex husband who was also a lawyer.

And finally, I went to uni with 1 of Paul Keating's daughters.

Oh I've got a PK story. He was at the auction in the Double Bay rooms when I bought my place. (he's a regular there)
He bid bought on one of the first listed and bid on the one before mine. I was bogging myself he'd bid up my place.

This may come as quite a surprise. Her name was Leanne Dick, (from a South Kolan cane farming Family. Great people,) introduced to the Melbourne Cup crowd in the presence of the pissed GG Kerr by Ch 7's Sandy Roberts as, Leeanne Cock.

All 100% true.

There were better links than that one, which has edited the *bloop* out. I have not looked for more, 'cause that'll do.

One I forgot was hanging out with Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs at Surf City, Kings Cross in the 1960's on a couple of occasions.

Crikey. I didn't think you were THAT old Huh

spiteful... one day..

if you are worthy of the privilege of getting OLD....you may reach a grand age.....a lot of people never do.....perhaps you would care to bare that in mind.

next time you wish to take a swipe.

Huh?

1. I wasn't talking about or to you.

2. I honestly thought Gordon was as old as I was.

3. Bugger off.

I have a 9 yr
