Bet she didn't say 'Liverpool'...

That's because heaven for someone from Liverpool is Talacre

The was a huge thread on pprune.org in the cabin crew bit about the worst celeb they'd had to deal with - there were pages and pages on her........

I read that whole thread.

Who comes out as the biggest CU Next Tuesday?

Robbie Williams.

How arrogant do you have to be to offer to pop into cattle class to see if anyone wants an autograph?

Would love to have seen Madonna lying on the ground at check in having a tantrum because she couldn't get seat 1A.

Wonder if it was because Cilla had already taken it?

Cilla got to the Pearly Gates. St Peter smiles and asks, "so, what's your name and where do you come from?"

I have to find the recent video of Stevie catching something. He doesn't appear as blind as people think...

Just remembered a story from a ex-PANAM colleague, ground staff at LHR.

Elton John and Stevie Wonder were on the same Pan Am flight from LHR, Stevie with a 1A boarding pass and Elton John with an aisle seat. Elton John approached one of the Gate agents before boarding and asked her:

"Miss, I requested a window seat but it seems that the plane is already full... would you mind changing my seat for Stevie´s seat number? He won´t notice anyway..."

Maggie was apparently nice to cabin crew etc unlike some mentioned on this thread.......

I'm actually not surprised about that, by all accounts 'Thatch' was polite & nice to everyone who deserved it. Driven & not about to be messed about admittedly. Interestingly the Tories seem to get the good reviews on that site.

I see Maggie gets a mention.

Dodgy should cocoa


good to see everyone was lying about 'our kid'!

Thought she was terrific on Blind Date. Probably the best choice of presenter they could have made. Best was when she gently took the mick out of those contestants who were a bit too full of themselves, especially the blokes, but without being nasty. Calling them Chuck etc.

Then of course there was the time she nuked from orbit an undercover journolist from Cosmopolitan:

Massive, massive 150 megaton pwnage, right there.

True but she is reputed to have been blooming awful to work with and disappeared from ITV as soon as a former junior assistant who had had the misfortune to work with her got into a position of power and exerted revenge....

I remember having to play "Anyone who had a heart" at a school concert. It was in some weird time signature that I couldn't get at all. Horrible song.

[eek]

A National Treasure according to the news on R4 just now.

One must assume that she's unlikely to end up in the Saville thread, but you can't rely on anything these days.
