nice try McElvar

[OwlHoot]

Wasn't some CUKer who regularly travels first class to the US pulled up the other month and told he would have to pay excess baggage charges for the dozen parkas they thought he was obviously wearing under his coat, until he showed them he was only wearing a T shirt?

Damned if I can remember his name.

Class idiot.

I thought you paid out £1000 per flight for excess baggage? On top of your first class allowance of 50kg.

Do you really have to take that many deep fried mars bars?

[MarillionFan]

He is Scottish. What did you expect, you idiot?

Sniff. Has someone farted?

The 19-year-old entertainer was told he was carrying too much luggage - a rucksack and small suitcase - when he reached the gate at Stansted Airport on Wednesday.

His only options were to fork out almost £50 for excess baggage, bin his threads, or wear them all.

Three hours later, he was in an ambulance.

Class idiot.

James McElvar passes out on EasyJet flight after wearing 12 layers to avoid luggage fee | Daily Mail Online

A member of a boyband who wanted to avoid an excess luggage fee passed out on board an easyJet flight after donning all his clothes so he didn't have to pay a £45 sub-charge.

James McElvar, a singer with Scottish five-piece Rewind, thought he was having a heart attack when he lost consciousness at 37,000 feet flying from London to Glasgow.

Little did he know he'd passed out from heat exhaustion - having dressed himself in six t-shirts, four jumpers, three pairs of jeans, two pairs of jogging bottoms, a pair of jackets and two hats.
