what an interesting post, really enjoyed reading it...
Not a CC story but a Pax experience - A friend of my flew business class from New York to London and sat next to Gary Barlow - he introduced himself before he sat down as "yes, I am Gary Barlow and no you can't have my autograph!" So my friend played Robbie Williams full blast on his IPOD for a few songs. Apparently he was quite rude to the CC and very into himself. He also sat next to Boy George on another flight who was apparently lovely, funny and talked about his legal woes candidly when he found out my friend was a lawyer!
