Famous Model/Actress/Whatever forgets who she is at BA Checkin

[overstress]

According to today's Mail on Sunday, a famous model/actress/whatever (MAW for short) is ditching BA's services for a timeshare in a bizjet. She is fed up with 'disclosures' whenever she flies with BA - such as the story that she allegedly romped with her boyfriend under the covers in First.

Recently at checkin she was trying to get the bf an upgrade to First (from what seat the article does not say).

"Do you know who I am?!" she was heard to utter.

"I demand you upgrade him to First - he's a millionaire you know!"

Presumably millionaires like him didn't get where they are today by spending part of their fortune on First class tickets.

The article does not record if the famous MAW subsequently recalled her identity.

"Do you know who I am?!"

God i hate when celebrities say that.

[PIK1967]

I believe it was Liz Hurley!!!!

Acting classes

If it the aforementioned person perhaps she should apend the money on acting lessons. Better still why doesn't she get herself a PPL and buy an aircraft. Forgot, all legs and no brains.

Notice they always say ' do you know who I am', not ' do you know what Im on', 'do you care who I am' or 'please'.

celebrity is just a polite word for tosser.

A standard reply to Muppets like this should be (quite loudly) " Excuse me Ladies and Gentlemen, this person doesn't know who she is. Can anyone help her?"
Edited for spelling!

A few years ago someone said to a purser I was flying with:
Do you know who I am?
So the purser picked up the PA and asked the other passengers: Does anyone know who the gentleman in row 2C is because he seems to have forgotten who he is!!
Went down a treat!!

You forgot to include "Now, this is no sh*t..."

Son, this one is older than you are...

Little Jimmy Dickens has been telling a variation on the Grand Ole Opry for many years (he could use a little new material <g>).

And do you know that you should be paying death duties on an old gag like this.

There's a similar tale about the Duke of Edinburgh, who apparently became lost during the ceremonial opening of an old folks' home: when the cleaner he had approached declined to give him directions, he asked, " Do you know who I am?!". "No" said the cleaner, "But if you ask Matron, she'll probably be able to tell you."





I'll get me coat..............

But surely Liz Hurley would have fully researched the airline business as part of her pivotal role in "Passenger 57", wouldn't she?

Another...

Well, one of my colleagues was seated next to her on Concorde (She was in 1A) about 6 or 7 years back. Allegedly a very pleasant chat on the way to JFK, though my colleague had no idea who she was. According to him, shortly before landing, she said "You don't know who I am, do you?", and supplied her name. My colleague, who is very English indeed, did think he seemed vaguely familiar.

Stop it all of you! She's allowed to be rude, she's the most gorgeous woman in the World

[Binoculars]

Amazing how far a pair of tits will get you.

The perfect ending to Momo's story would have been if his colleague had been a heart surgeon or something similar off to collect a Nobel Prize, who in response to the question (You don't know who I am, do you?) looks blankly at her and replies, "No, I'm terribly sorry, I don't. Should I?"

Advance Warning!

There was a C.130 at Kemble over the last few days with
"Drop the Celebrity" stickers down the side. Apparently ITV were making a programme(s) to be shown soon.

I can't say I fully understood the gist of it or recognised the celebs although I saw one of the Beeb's weathermen (retired?)
looking ......umm, apprehensive!

I think the idea was not to get voted out the back - but I saw a few fail

[Dop]

"Drop the Celebrity", eh? Is that with or without a parachute?

"You don't know who I am, do you?",

This happened to me once, sitting next to Bill McLaren, the rugby commentator.

And I have to say that he was a total gentleman.

Well, check this out!.

Click here for the Beckham's story.

WHO ARE SHOE GUYS?

Victoria and David Beckham were refused Hollywood star treatment when a shoe shop owner told Posh: "I have no idea who you are."

The former Spice Girl and her football star husband were snubbed when they asked a Los Angeles store to close its doors so they could shop in private.

The couple made the request after turning up at the trainers shop with an entourage of bodyguards.

But the owner told a fuming Victoria he did not have a clue who she was, The Sun reported.

When told by minders the couple were famous in Britain, he snapped: "They might be in Britain - but they're not here.

"I'm not closing for anyone! We get Britney Spears here all the time and she never asks for me to close.

"We get other stars all the time, they just get on with it."

The owner eventually agreed to the request and closed the doors for 30 minutes.

When Victoria emerged with several carrier bags "she had a face like thunder", an onlooker told the paper.

Now there's someone I'd like to spend a few hours chatting to.

Actually I may just set up a thread on that very subject...

[PAXboy]

Now there's someone I'd like to spend a few hours chatting to.

I agree, it would be fascinating to hear her speak for herself. However she might be on guard, her basic approach would be instructional. If only I had the time for such fripperies.
