I quit the relationship with my clothes smelling of marijuana or something equally suspicious. Does that count?

What have been your brushes with fame?

The wife and I met Gough Whitlam in a gallery in Venice in 1998 and had a chat, my missus said

"Hello Mr Whitlam, we are from Australia!"

"He said in a sort of condescending manner "I know that!"

Anyway overall the chat was friendly though!

You should have shirt-fronted him for being on a junket on the taxpayers' dime.

He was probably just using up his quota of free flights. Grin

You should have grabbed him by the lapels and head-butted him while your wife gave him a stiff kick in the gollywhoops with her Ugg boots ...

Interesting, but I'm sure you misread his body-language.

No, I watched him for almost an hour (while waiting for a plane) and not a single person spoke to him or even acted like they recognised him ....the look on his face was definitely disappointment .

It would be one of the major down-sides of being a celebrity

many celebrities crave the attention .
