Oooh celebs. Good guys:
jimmy hill. Carried him loads. Top humour and top bloke. Was going LGW-MAN to speak at someones funeral (forgotten who) and in the day when you could put him in the flightdeck so he could get off quickly due to delay. Was boarding loads of frenchies on a flight, me saying bonjewar, and he comes up in the middle of them all and says bunjowar yourself. All the little milk couplets were off that day too.
Anthea Turner. Mmmmmmm. I fancy her. She liked the egg sarnie so much I gave her one. I mean another sandwich. Top girl. People love to knock her, but she was fab.
Susan dando, discussed effective pain relief for period pains. Davina mcall and hubby, ben kingsley (nice girlfriend ben), geri haliwell, couldn’t manage to carry her own boarding card (don’t care who you are, ain’t getting on for i see it!), she was ok tho, her scottish assistant much better looking tho. Atomic kitten. They’re all well friendly. David bellamy (he’s dinky), gordon brown. Annoushka hempel and lord weinberg, top couple.
phil collins top bloke too. Gary rhodes, ken hom. Them blokes that present channel 4 driving program, they were well funny and got slaughtered. Funny thing was we only got talking to them cos we told them to shut up during the demo.
Barry Grant off brookside. He was a top bloke. Going to watch footy in milan. Think he’s on ‘the bill’, but don’t watch it. Alex ferguson, dead nice. Anna ryder long name richardson.
Jean claude van damm. SCCM said he was boarding. We all thought she was joking. Never saw him during busy flight. Went to help out at the front before landing, and this tiny bloke kept getting in the way. When the seat belt sign came on i bundled him into his seat. He looked well bemused. Then after the SCCM says that WAS jcvan damm. He was tho, very polite, and cool. Oh and Ronan keating.
The other half:
mandelson, ok he was a really nice bloke. Just didn’t want to like him. Many footballers. None of them from my team so i don’t care. Some thrash metal band boarded in MRS and asked for an upgrade. I said no. When i popped down the back later, they had been chucking screwed up newspapers at each other. They were well funny. I wish i had upgraded them now.
Heard as said that cilla is speechless. Doesn’t speak to crew personally, used to speak via bobby, and now seemingly thru her agent. Notice how she always has a go at anyone she considers ‘posh’. Yet she doesn’t even talk to commoners like us! Still till i meet her, reserve judgement.
My fave occurrence was a divorced royal and special friend. Seated 8A and 8C. Seated in 8B was an obese american who needed an extension seatbelt. German ground staff. No one can tell me the germans have no sense of humour now. Asked for different seats! No upgrade tho. Surely they could afford club?
My main conclusion is, majority of them are cool. And few of them eat much, and just want a bottle of water. And Anthea is my favourite. Jimmy hill as well, but i don’t fancy him. Are these sort of topics created by the people who write Mile High on Sky TV? The ones that cause trouble are usually has-beens/sliders.
