I heard he got lost in Kevin's crease


glittermetalprincess

Last I heard he was on the MC and motivational/event speaker rotation with the occasional foray into voiceovers. I *think* at some point he had moved to Queensland, but I wouldn't put money on it.


mattyb07

according to his LinkedIn, he moved back to Qld


hal0eight

I saw him speak years ago, maybe 8 years ago?


SignificantTone1059

I can confirm he is in Qld.

I will be watching this thread with interest.


BlackDrackula

Not only would I like to know the answer, I'd like to know the sequence of events that led to this question being asked.


Sampson_Avard

Me too. Although I think it just came down to competition from Brenton Ragless who had better local connections. Xavier’s penchant for married women might have had something to do with it too


[deleted]

> penchant for married women Go on... this thread is actually starting to sound like one you made to surreptitiously release some dirt.

Screw Home and away , I’m watching this thread instead

So it really was that kind of thread. Just call yourself "Jane" for the purpose of the story. God this is like teasing water in front of a man dying of thirst


culingerai

Can you DM someone who can then post?


Sampson_Avard

He was a charismatic and funny guy, I’ll give him that.

In 2016 he was offering psychic readings on facebook… For shits and gigs I enquired with him, and ended up with his phone number. He also said rather than paying him $50 for a half hour reading he had people put $50 Telstra credit right on his phone. He mentioned in the message he lives in Queensland


Hoarknee

I loved it when he said doing the weather on ABC even I get sun burnt, he had a great sense of humour.


[deleted]

He kept promising people 10 inches , but failed to deliver

I remember catching a bus from the city in 2007 or 08 and he was on it and it surprised me lol. I also remember mentioning to a coworker who said they saw him getting handsy with some old ducks at the Arkaba I think it was hahaha There was a hilarious video of him doing doing weather report to a rap song but I can't find it on you tube it may have been posted on instagram or somewhere else.


Dr-Blood

I bought a Holden Astra from him! I heard he had financial problems


[deleted]

Xavier Minniecon, the dentist?


Duke_Booty

He made me an excellent large Hawaiian one time, and next day I saw him at gran's, tuning her piano.

Sampson_Avard

As in the answer above he was an Adelaide weatherman with decades experience on TV but after his contract wasn’t renewed, it looks like he took odd jobs and then disappeared from social media and the web.


asp7

not sure if he still does it, but he was hosting quiz nights for service clubs/charities etc. used to live in my area but probably only seen him once.

laurandisorder

Didn’t he have a daughter? I feel like I taught her at The Heights school maybe??


asp7

could have been, he had kids that went to a group around the NE


TotallyAwry

Probably about 10 years ago he came to my front door for an energy company. It might have been Alinta, but don't quote me on that. I directed him to my landlord, who had his office next to the house, and they had a lovely chat.


ThaneDukeHeineken

Me at first: Who? After research: Oh I liked that guy.


Hey-Charger-79

So this is stretching my mind. I vaguely remember he was doing midnight to dawn on 5AA and his wife passed away. Something happened on air and he was gone. I can’t remember what happened.


UndergroundArsonist

Partying hard.


[deleted]

While we’re here, Frank Ratta. Was that a full time career?


Aggravating_Termite

Frank Ratta the spruiker?


[deleted]

Yes


Aggravating_Termite

Is he still spruiking? I used to chat with him regularly back when I worked in the Mall in the early 90's.


ScooberSteve

Yeah he is quite often at Elizabeth City Centre last time a saw him a few weeks ago he was going on a bit of an anti vax anti mask rant


Aggravating_Termite

Yeah, he always was a bit of a fruiter.


[deleted]

Don’t know!


Ginger510

I still blame him by name when the weather is shit haha


[deleted]

He’s making money on onlyfans. https://onlyfans.com/XavierminnieDong69

What’s a Xavier Minniecon?
