About 10 years ago i flew Liza minelli from Berlin to LHR in a Lear35. She had been taken there by another one of our Captains a few days earlier and had said to him to be careful with the presurization as she had at some time in her life burst her ear drums.
She was a very nice lady and whe she arrived at the airport in Berlin, she climbed aboard the Lear with a really nice smile and said to me,
"Hi, remember me, i'm the one with the ears!"
I really wished in hind sight that i had paid more attention to my colleague when he told me of her problem because i managed to come back, as quick as a flash and say to her,
"oh, i thought you were the one with the nose!!!"
I thought he had told me it was sinus problems she had.
Her first reaction was to have a sence of humour failure but when i explained that i thought it was her sinuses, she had a real good laugh about it with us. Classy Lady!

A while ago I did the flying for Rod Stewart on his European tour, really nice bloke, very easy to please. His only requirements for catering were Big Macs and Caffreys beer.
I've also flown some senior politicians, they are worse than you could imagine - egos the size of Sussex.............

Shanwick,
I've told you before, you really must get a grip of yourself - you know Caprice is only interested in me.
Hows it going - any developments?
All the best.

Flew Elvis to Memphis last month, but I don't think I am meant to tell anyone, so keep it to yourself will you.

Fine thanks, how are you?
Not much on the development front. I'm tempted to apply to JMC. They've got a 757 based up here permenantly and need pilots.
Cheers

When I was a humble coach driver I used to shift, Blackburn Rovers, Wimbledon(when playing north of Watford), and Man United.
Could'nt tell the other teams who I had moved around they are a strange bunch...
But who wants to know which players smoke, and drink like fish?
