*Red Simons lived at the end of my street and came into a cafe i worked in, right cockhead, would walk to the front of the counter through everyone demanding/expecting service b4 everyone waiting then w his feral son would sit w someone else on their table (if there wasnt a free one) using most of it w his newspaper letting his feral som annoy the shit out of the stranger and make a fricking mess...................did i mention he is a cockhead ?
*hoddle street masacre (sp?) was 1 ro 2 blocks away and could hear gunshots in our house. Cousin was a copper and got shot, the bullet grazed his back from shoulder to shoulder and is scarred from it. All the cops took their reflective hats off coz it was note. The big wig cop got there and made them put them back on. My mum's family fainlty knew the shooters family. i can point his house out.
*Met heaps of celebs from doing VIP functions and found out many interesting things in high class boardroom luncheons 🙂
*Dillan Lewis' wife workes with my mum, he's a cockhead aswell..............

Dylan Lewis is way cool.
My claim to fame is that I went to school with Anthony Mundine(St George NRL & Boxing ... hahahaha) and Lance Thompson(St George NRL). Won't tell you what I really think of them. Also went to the same school as the Smith's Gobbledock (sp?), well the person that used to dance around in the suit. Peter Coyne (St George NRL) was a substitute teacher at my school and coached me in hockey for a while.

The guy in the year before me at school is the Hoddle St massacre dude. I didn't know him though - my own year level had 300 students and I didn't know most of them either. My school has more people in the Australian Who's Who than any other school in Australia, so I wont drop too many names as it's simply not fair to the rest of you. 😉
