brushes with fame #2

A while back I talked about all the "celebrities" (i.e. people who have at least once, appeared on tellie which apparently is all it takes in Australia to be considered a celebrity) I have had seen out and about in their normal lives.Last week I saw Dicko at Ikea in Richmond, or as the Cricketer referred to him ("that fat #$#$ from Australian Idol". Have I mentioned for a well raised, nicely educated boy, the husband swears a lot? He'll swear more if he sees the photo on the left as it appears Dicko is wearing a shirt that hangs in the Cricketer's own wardrobe).Apparently, Dicko has the need for a desk and the ones he saw gave him "somewhere for me computer, but where am I gonna put me other stuff?"I have to say tellie doesn't do him justice. For someone middle aged, slightly paunchy, slightly short, and grey haired, he's actually quite handsome, and I do like an accent.Update: Wikipedia says Dicko was born in 1963, which makes him 45 and not quite middle aged. I take back the not bad bit. He's actually looking pretty rough for someone of 45. Must be that rock n roll lifestyle.Source
