Message: [QUOTE="dukey, post: 2427592, member: 2046"] I met Thurston out on the town in Newcastle in 07. He was waiting at the bar and literally had a line of blokes waiting to shake his hand. Yes, I was one of them. He greeted all of us with a huge smile and a firm handshake despite the fact that we were all drunk and probably annoying as hell. Great bloke, who hasn't let fame go to his head at all. Similar story with Dell, who I met at the Steelers club in Gong in 2008. The Dragons were all on their Mad Monday, keeping to themselves and not really keen on chatting to anyone, but as soon as Dell walked in he was swamped by fans and got a photo with everybody who asked for one. Not begrudgingly, either; I asked for a shot and he grabbed me round the shoulders and posed for the uncomfortably long time it took my mate to figure out how to operate his phone. Legend. And back in 2006ish the Raiders came to town for a day and all ended up at the pub that night for a few quiet drinks. Todd Carney on-song is just awesome. He's that hilarious bloke that every group needs. On the flipside of that, some of my mates later saw him in Civic off his face and shouting abuse at everything around him, so he seems to have a small window of awesomeness. [/QUOTE]
