Obviously (for legal reasons! ;-) these are 'alleged' incidents of 'nice' or otherwise pax. Based on many years exp!

Cilla Black...WTF...in the 80's BA747 (Classic, then) config. being sat in F/C seats 5+6 J/K. Seat rows 1-4 were like '90's config. In those days they had an extra 4 F/C seats on the right behind the F/C galley and next to the loos (Aft of D1R). (usually loads were poor in those days, so seniour crew used to sit in them to do the voyage reports/paperwork/puff on a ciggy and maybe a F/C beverage or 10!) plus a long snooze. However this flight from X to X was full and 'madame' above got sat there....before she sat down...the 'alleged' lines were "I ain't sittin there next tae the shit house". She travelled in said seats as there was N.O.O! (Maybe No Other Option?).

Bryan Adams (Sp?) (musician) allegedly ;-) in early 90's from TPE-HKG, only him and his 3 others entourage in F/C. Came downstairs for a walk-around as flt well empty. Got chattin' to B.A. (didn't know who he was) and as I was walking round he threw a bread roll at me; which I threw back to much amusement. He then lunged at me and gave me the best snog I've had (ever) from a pax and said let's go and raid the kitchen (F/C galley). So we made our choice from the ovens and I came back and sat next to him in 4b to eat a main course later. All he wanted to know TBH was where I got my hair cut. He shook my hand when he got off at HKG and when I saw him after that on telly/vid, he'd got a 'flat-top' haircut like I'd had...hehe! (Well it was the early 90's guys & gals!).

Princess Margaret (GRHS) (Maybe God Rest Her Soul?!). LHR-IAD upgraded with her Lady-in-Waiting and two fellow 'pals' of hers from 'J' to 'F'; all, again allegedly...those lawyers abound!

Headphones on from boarding to 1A, Lady-in-Waiting in 1B, friends in 1J&K. According to CC, totally 'bonkers' circa early 90's. Couldn't stand cabin announcements interrupting her personal vid player showing Naked Gun 33/and a third. Wouldn't accept 'premium' Scotch from F/C (She used to have loaded a personal bottle of Famous Grouse in the 80's allegedly), so she opted for 'y' class JW Red label. On asking her her how her flight was going on a walkaround...she said "The green beans were amazing". WTF? I just nodded my head and walked off to the next row (of normalty?).

Courtney Love & alive'then'b/f'Curt Cobain,baby & entourage). LHR-BGI. Allegedly (WTF) those lawyers again...!!!?? 90's.

C.C. from boarding at LHR until wheelchair removal at BGI was not cogniscent. Maybe not liquid drugs? C.L. asked after F/C meal service if she could borrow the grape scissors, which used to come out on the service trolley to cut the grapes served out of the ice bowl. (for culinary officionados; the grape 'blooms', i.e. natural grey matter on the grapes straight from harvest cause enourmous 'farting' unless washed or the 'bloom' is semi-frozen in an iced-water bowl)...how is that for an explanation?

C.L. Had her request met (grape scissors) only for the CC to see her remove C.C.'s socks and embark on cutting his toenails while horizontal and incognicent as to the actions). At the same time as this was in 'awe' action by the C.C., C.L. asked the crew if they could take her baby for a minute, which they duly did. C.L. then passed out until landing in BGI and C.L. duly asked on landing "did my baby vomit"? Of which the reply was, YES, all over the galley floor. The reply was, "geez you guys are great" as the crew arranged a D1R private 'wheelchair' exit for the party.

Had enough for tonight....just some blasts from the past for your amusement...bemusement....allegedly!
