Timothy spall in the T4 lounge pavillion terraces eating and drinking everything in sight, a lot shorter than I imagined.As we left I saw he was sat with Miranda Richarson she really does have that high pitched queeny voice.

Sat next to Declan Donnelly on a 757 from NCL to LHR back in July. I was on the aisle seat, he was in the window, middle seat empty, must have been blocked as the rest of the aircraft was full. He said nothing, slept for most of the flight, as flight was late leaving LHR, a Virgin cabin crew was brought forward to sit between us as she had a tight connection and needed to get off quick. Talked a lot to him, (most interesting some of it!) even took a photo at the end as I stood alongside and smiled, etc.
Walked with him to arrivals although didn't say anything (more a case he seemed to be following me!).

CLE to FLL. He was very polite. Signed an autograph for my daughter who had a bad day the day before. It made her day when I got home.

Ray Fiennes was stting in F on the same flight as me where the engine failed prior to take off from LAX and we had a lightining strike prior to landing at LHR. Maybe he is also thinking of writing to BA for compensation for the 3 hour delay:
Thiery Henry in F to Miami; Henry Kissinger in F back from JFK; Sven Goran, David Davies &c in CE on the way back from Lisbon; and Prunella Scales in CE down to Toulouse in the summer. All lovely people and not a hint of DYKWIA.

Being a Spurs fan I probaly found Saturday's events more amusing than many. Although I will still concede he is a very, very good player and kudos to him for laughing about it on MOTD.
He looked like he was on deaths bed and couldn't stop coughing and wheezing. I thought they might have to bring the oxygen out at one point in the flight. We got off at SIN, but I presume he made it alive to Syndey

This was a while ago...
Easter 2001 IIRC, Naomi Campbell in HMV North Terminal LGW, and on the BA flight to FAO I sat next to Charlie Dimmock in ET (Exit row seating ) and Trevor Macdonald was in CE with his family, it was Friday 13th April too
Henry Kissinger in F back from JFK..... All lovely people and not a hint of DYKWIA.
Shouldn't think he wants to be recognised. Witness the illegal bombing of Cambodia which left a peasant economy in ruins and open to the overthrow of the Lon Nol government and subsequent madness of the Khmer Rouge. Lovely fella that Henry.
Location: LGW, LHR, SYD and a variety of 1W lounges in between.

I saw the one and only "Sheep" at the Avianca check-in in Bogota being bounced from a confirmed ticket booking! After his discussions at the ticket desk the excuse was:
Foreign credit card transactions take 5 hours to clear when making bookings over the internet.
That was despite the confirmed PNR and seat OK, the confirmation e-mail and the credit card showing a debit on-line. Go figure. A bit like the booking engine option of "English" which then reverts to Spanish on the next page.
What was noticeable at the time was that his "skin tight fleece" was nothing when compared to the skin tight jeans of his local interpreter. I have photographic evidence. Of both
Was in a bar in NYC when they were having the UN summit. We were 1 door down from MOMA where a huge bash was going on....suddenly Henry K shambles past the window without a care in the world. Bizarre!
Programs: Back to BA Silver and heading southwards!!, several other less interesting cards...

OK - Ill join in!
Keith Wood on a LHR - EDI when we were off to see Ireland v Scotland last year
Terry Wogan was sitting with his good wife in 3A & C on the way to TLS
Both didn't show a hint of DYKWIA and Fester was happily chatting to all!
On another note and not strictly BA I saw Gary Rhodes booking into a Go flight at STN on the first and last time I flew Ryanscare to Preswick. Don't know where he was off to but Master srbrenna who was rather young at the time ran up to him and said "I've seen you on the telly - you're Gary Rose" to which the great chef replied "that's right, I'm Gary Rhodes" and shook his hand. Mrs srbrenna and I found this rather amusing
and kudos to him for laughing about it on MOTD.
