Mr Jeremy Clarkson and James May recently were sat in LH C FRA-LHR. Why they took LH I will not know seen as though how British Clarkson is.
Also met Sir David Jason in LH C coming from LHR-FRA.
Also non LH but still Star Alliance was Mr Brian Connely. Very nice chap...lives around 5 minutes from where I am. Have known him for quite some time. This was in SQ First October last year.

OK these people are not at least a little bit important when flysurfer doesn't know them.
But sorry for saying that I don't know them either.
It is possible that these celebrities or semi-celebrtities are only living in your own world singapore321?

Never heard of that.

Didn't expect any car show on this planet to be "very famous"

It is probably the most famous one...... If you ever get a chance to watch it you should... It is great fun and very different from what you would normally expect.

Is it on BBC America?

Unfortunately, with about 500 channels and hundreds of ever changing VOD titles on digital cable, it's difficult to stay on top of things.

V.I.P on LH-Flights

Hi all,
I have had Vice-chancelier Franz Müntefering in the morning flight 8.10-9.00 from FRA to HAM on 2nd of March. His seat was 1A. No really prefered service/security for him. His bodyguard (btw. his revolver was given in a red-cover to the pilot) was on 2C and his PA on 2A. I have had a seat on row 6. I thought nobody was on 1C...but one of the last pax (a normal business-man) had finaly his seat on 1C. Before boarding he and his bodyguard and PA was standing in the middle of the other pax on Gate 42;-) But noboady really notice him ;-)
Any other V.I.P seen the last days on some flights?
Cheers
Prollo.
