Flaps... just had to say, what an excellent post.. on so many levels. Kudos....! One of the best I've seen in this forum.
Since I preach sticking to the topic....
The Scene... top of Climb, out of Copenhagen. The time... etched in my memory forever!
Purser (to me): "We seem to have some kind of "model" on board today. Someone Christensen. Helen, or something like like that...."
Me; "!" (...stunned silence, mouth agape, difiiculty breathing.. )"You mean....Helena Christensen is down the back...?"
Purser: "Yes... she's nothing special, by the way...." ( I shall refrain from comment here, but the phrase "wouldn't crawl over her to get to you..." may have been not very far from the surface...)
Co-Pilot: "Who's Helena Christensen?"
There then followed 2 hours of education for this young gentleman (actually, he was the same age as me so unforgiveable!) starting with Chris Isaac's "Wicked Game" video.... Miss C unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately for her) has fallen asleep otherwise the standard pre-Sept 11th visit would have been arranged faster than a scalded dog chasing a rabbit....
End of flight.... co-pilot, who's sector it has been, anounces "Well, I'll go and say goodbye to the passengers, then...."
Me; "No, no, nooooo.... Sit right there, my friend. I will go and say goodbye to the passengers.... there is no debate on this point."
....and she smiled at me! :o
I can be very easily pleased sometimes! And for the record, the crew thought she was charming....
