I saw Paul Gallen at a grocery store in Burraneer yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Didn't they fat useless f**k richie callandar actually do this once?

Corey Payne pushing trolleys into their spot at the front of Woolworths Top Ryde(pretty sure he’s the store manager there).

Last Friday at Otto's deli in Townsville I saw Ray Thomson and Matty Bowen having lunch

Matty Bowen is the answer to who ate all the pies

He's put on some beef since he retired

This is going to be filed under "well, we never saw that one coming, did we"

I actually think he's now the Panthers CEO - was a bigwig previously at Woolies. I used to think he was one of the most un-balanced football players of his day - seemingly always into the niggle, lack of discipline but retired att a fairly early age to pursue a business career and it's worked wonders for him.

Was for about 5 minutes. Gus might poach him back though like Ivan.

One of my relatives used to work at the Panthers Leagues club a couple of years ago and saw Phil Gould there. She was serving someone and he was demanding service, she politely told him to wait a moment and he did the whole "don't you know who I am?" arrogant c0ckhead thing.

Can't say I was surprised to hear that.

I'd wager Gus drops the "do you know I am" routine at least once a week. Imagine him and Rabs together not getting service up to their liking holy shit!
