Took Shaggy from Colombo to Gulf - obnoxious - nose in the air and kept looking around as if he was expecting people to recognise him and fawn over him - so we studiously ignored him!
Also took William Hague and Seb Coe (who is TINY) to Colombo (dunno why they all seem to go there!). William Hague very nice, Seb Coe just sat back and got hammered! Started private flying out of Saudi and who was on my first flight only William Hague again a year later - and he remembered me! Very, Very nice man - quiet and unassuming.totally down to earth
Butrus Butrus Galli (not sure how to spell that) ex head of UN - and his armed bodyguard. Very sweet - about 70 - just like someones granddad - wanted a large whiskey but would not have it until he got confirmation it was bang on 5pm of whatever country we were flying over!
was supposed to have Gerie Halliwell from Gulf to London - had SPML for her and everything - no sugar or wheat. In the end she decided GF wasn't good enough for her and went on BA. Anoyed a lot of ground staff. We took all her crew though - good laugh. But alledgedly she suffers from delusions of grandeur.
Met Wesley Snipes this summer at Monaco grand Prix - nice guy but fugly in the flesh!! (sorry Wes) Also met Montoya the night he won grand prix.
Also met Punjabi MC, shook his hand and then said, "sorry, and you are?". didn't go down too well needless to say. :-)
