One of the funniest things I have seen is Bill Hunter and another familiar Australian actor whose name I forget winding up a young shop assistant on grand final day a couple of years back. They were both dressed to impress if you were living in the 1960s (but this was two years ago, and they pulled it off wonderfully) and they were carrying on as if they were both handicapped with seriously impared speech. The young bloke had no idea who they were which made it even better to watch.
I've asked Mick Gatto to leave somewhere before (politely). He did, and told me I was a gentleman. I twigged the next day.
I've also met a number of medal winning athletes and been part of the tech/equipment support.
Also walked into Jason Donovan in Chapel St (literally), didn't give him the time of day.
Chatted to Sigrid Thornton in a supermarket. She's tiny!
Done business with one of the Fox boys.
i've done heaps of work over the years for celebs :D :D

Have been go cart racing with Lowndes and Seaton when they were both racing for Ford. Both easy going and down to earth, no big ego's even though they well and truely outclassed the rest of us. Even ate the BBQ that was put on.
We told Craig about one of the girls who was a big fan of his but wasn't able to go so we called her and he said hello. She thought we were having her on for a while..... then she realised who she was talking too! He signed a poster and made reference to the call for us to give to her when we got back... She was very embarrased!
