They are MEPs by choice. I doubt they would earn anything like that if they had real jobs.

Sir Clive Woodward in the F Lounge this morning. Also a few bottles of LPGS fleetingly appeared, the real celebrity as far as I'm concerned!!!

The only Scottish winner of the US tennis open final, his mother is in one of the T5 lounges and is bemoaning the demise of kettle chips from the BA food offering.

Have all the kettle chips been stolen by named/un-named FTers? Or have they been enhanced?

I saw the start of the invasion of the Spaniards now Iberia have come over, man and a woman with 12 packets of cookies on their table and scooped into a bag

I saw Pierce Brosnan in LAX check-in area the other day. He was only there briefly while a BA agent printed his BP before being whisked away to the VIP area. Despite living in L.A. for 8 years, that was my first-ever celebrity sighting!

Two!

Geoff Hoon (see him often) and Lee Dixon in T5 GF. Not as one, I hasten to add.

Matthew Bellamy (lead singer of Muse) and his partner Kate Hudson plus their two children in F on the BA205 to Miami on 21/2, fresh from his appearance at the Brits the night before.

We were in CW and the only reason we saw them was that the cabin crew made a bit of a hash of getting the F customers off first. Consequently we left the plane at the same time as them.

Rather refreshingly, they declined SS help several times and walked the 2 miles to immigration along with the rest of us.
