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 notorious (allegedley). 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 girlfriend. 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. Asks 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.
these topics, are they all started by the people that make mile high on sky tv? we're just givimg 'em free stories.

1) In 1978, two weeks into her flying career, a Dan Air hosty who I knew very well was on a 727-200 that landed back at LGW. When the aircraft came to a standstill she dropped the rear airstairs, and walked down them onto the ramp - as you do. Upon realizing that the aircraft was still over a mile from the terminal building, she mounted the stairs again and was only half way up when the aircraft got underway again. Apparently by this time there were two passengers at the top of the stairs about to follow her down. Unbelievable but true - anyone else remember this? Her name - God Bless her - was Liz, and she's still flying today (or at least she was about 3 years ago). When they were on stand the FO came back, but was told by the Number One that "someone had touched the rear door".
2) October 2001, flying to LAX on a VS A340, I joined my neighbour at the back of the cabin for a drink of water. A minor bit of CAT shook the plane, whereupon the toilet door right in front of us slowly swung open, to reveal one of the cabin crew admiring herself in the mirror at point-blank range, with her kit round her ankles. She was so self-absorbed that it was 15-20 seconds before she realized she was providing the most memorable sight I have seen in over 2,000 sectors flown world-wide. Having been an archetypal exponent all the way across of that unique brand of self-assurance(?!) that only VS staff can display, we thought it was only fair to stay exactly where we were until she eventually emerged, some 10 minutes later, but no longer naked from the waist down. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person, and I only hope she enjoyed it as much as we did. If you're reading this, thanks for the memory.
