I've met Blond, I don't know who they are, apparently, they were before my time. I've met McMaster and James ( the whole group ). Nelly Furtado, Peter Pocklington ( he used to own the Edmonton Oilers hockey team ) All in all, they seemed like normal, everyday people.

best famous person: Melanie Sykes (FHM covergirl wow!) and her sister, who looks even better IMHO. Did I get her picture? Well I tried. Did Iget her phone number? Again, I tried.

worst famous persons: sad boyband A1. They're not old enough to drink are they?

I sat across from Roy Castle about 20 years ago and then met him again about a year before he died. A wonderful man who loved life and enjoyed talking and being with people.

Both Public Enemy & Aswad bands on the same flight, it was a real mess on board during boarding ! But cool guys. Seemed rude at first sight but not nasty.

My girlfried,AN hostess,slapped by Russell Crowe!!!!!!

Syd-Adl a few years ago,Russell nursed a VB for the whole trip.Come mid way through descent,my lovely girl removes his can of VB.Without taking his eyes of the overhead entertainment,Russell slaps her hand.

Consequently,she refuses to watch his films.Being a Darwin boy I tried to explain to her the sensitivity of removing unconsumed alchohol,a hangable offence.To ussel frm Fliss,you pr@ck.To the guys of the world don`t try at home!

Happy flying Chaps!

Had Peter Andre onboard (remember him) a few years ago, full of his own self importance. He sat for most of the 2 hr flight with a blanket over his head, 2 young girls had asked him for an autograph and he complained of being pestered, bless him, bet he'd give anyhing for that to happen now! Robson Green, a really nice guy and interesting to talk to.
