A few years ago now and probably not as impressive as many before...
Walking down Adelaide Street in Brisbane circa 2006 and coming towards me are three guys, 2 tall guys in black suits and a smaller older man in the middle. It looked bit odd so I was staring a bit and as they got closer i noticed a distinctive mark on the older guys's head. There was nobody else in the street ( I was at the business end so no shops) and the 2 big guys are now staring at me, as they get closer they are not big guys they are HUGE! both have coiled clear wires coming from their ears, as we approach i say (for some reason still unknown to me?) "G'day" with a courteous nod and get a slight nod in response. We past without further interaction and for the rest of the day it was bugging me to who that guys was, he looked very familiar but I just count put a name to the face! The big guys would have been called "SIR" whatever there names were
Later that day when reading the local newspaper, there he was, big article about him being inBrisbane to co-chair the global forum Earth Dialogue ....Mikhail Gorbachev!
I told anyone who would listen, with a mixed response to be honest! But for me, just a ordinary working guy from a small town in Scotland and to bump into a world leader just walking down the street, was impressive to me.
