Businessman Geoffrey Edelsten dead aged 78

[lumen8]

I was on the same flight as him in 2014, LAX to Melbourne.

He went to the front of the plane though

One of his wives had a 351C -

I heard about it this morning...

Certainly a 'colourful' character.

No, not that far towards the front ... far enough forward where his ticket wouldve cost at least 4x more than mine.

[slowsnake]

When I was behind him at a drive through fast food in Cabramatta years ago, must of been the late 80's early 90's, I was driving a better car than him!...lol, it was just after he lost everything the first time, forget who the bird he married was, but he bought her a pink helicopter for Gods sake, must of been on the never-never, I know it was repossessed.

These dudes make me laugh, along with the Alan Bonds and Skases of this world of ours!
I always wondered what went wrong in their brains, what makes them so sure of themselves, especially Edelsten, I went to one of his surgeries once to get a deeply embedded brass splinter taken outta my finger, lol, and there was a "grand piano" in the waiting area?...it was a working class suburb in Sydney's western suburbs!...lol,...what was his plan?...First the Western Suburbs!...then the World....lol,...hahaha.


Cheers Billy.

No big loss.
We had business dealings with him back in the 80s when he owned the Swans.
He was a leech.
His first missus, Leanne, was a nice lady when he wasn't around.

[mondeomatureguy]

H Every one,
As much as i didnt like the bloke he was the first Doctor to open 24 hour medical Centre in Australia.
I know that you shouldn't speak bad of the dearly departed but he was a Big Poser.
His second wedding cost him 3 million dollars and i am not sure how long that lasted but it wasnt that long i dont think.

[jaydee]

Someone who lived life to the fullest (sometimes at other peoples expense).
The cars and the women, "Oh, I love him so much"
It's not the size of the wallet, but what you do with it, hahahaha

[shedcoupe]

Looking at the errr ‘dimensions’ of his various lady friends I’d say he always missed his mummy very much.

Apparently addicted to sugar daddy sites...

[slowsnake]

I always thought he was gay, and the busty or pretty and always young women were there to throw the public off!....lol.




Cheers Billy.

I see him as an “icebreaker”. 1980s excesses aside, to put in popular thought the idea of a walk-in medical centre was a New Thing. Migrant eyes see differently sometimes. Not unlike Harry Triguboff making a New Thing of “just get them up” high density, low project cost developments.

Don't you mean "Ice user"...lol...

I don’t know if he was, so wouldn’t suggest that.

He indirectly showed Ms Grecko to the world; she was an entertaining kidult. I often thought they suited each other, in a way.

Funny who you used to see around the Cross in the 80's, maybe I should of said "charlie"
Its amazing what doctors can get legally, just for research of course, but I don't know what he was on, maybe ADHD he was pretty well out there.

[Bossxr8]

He was a lowlife really. Hired Mr Rent o kill Chris Flannery to beat up an ex-patient. Went bankrupt, but somehow always had millions. ATO was after him for unpaid taxes etc etc. Many other instances of him being shady.

Grecko claimed they never even had sex. Weird.

[LG17]

I'd forgotten about Chris!

I didn't, and like I said in my other post, "its amazing who you see at the Cross"...lol...



Cheers King Billy

[jaydee]

Now his ex wife Brynne said they never had sex, never even consummated the marriage.
But I bet he had fun trying.
Surely as a doctor you'd have thought he had access to the little blue pill?

We met most of them through our "party boat" business on the harbour.

[snap0964]

I guess Rent a kill ended up a boat anchor himself. . .

[pottery beige]

would take leanne (the first one) back to my place and watch tv and listen some records

There is a story attached to that.
His missus ended up in Cairns with a certain car dealer.
They were trying to blend in...

And I always thought the story was that he (Chris) was attached to an old cast iron Metters oven!..lol...ya just can't believe everything you hear!...

[snap0964]

Yes, particularly when George Freeman is mentioned.
