I presume that has changed these days
I see him most weeks, either in the lounge or on the plane, and he definitely doesn't get special treatment anymore. Maybe that's why he's always bumping his gums about something.

A legitimate complaint (although of course any complaint should be made in a polite way).

Im not saying she's shallow, but she was throughly disgusted about the whole thing until I pointed out that it was Orlando Bloom and then she was suddenly fine with it...

Almost identical situation at the Waldorf in Rome.
"That dirty old man keeps looking at my chest."
"That's Michael Douglas."
"Ooooooooh".

Was at the bar in the CCR last night, chatting to Hugolover, when he pointed out that Kate Moss was standing behind me. Brief discussion about cocktails ensued, she took our advice and ordered mojitos ^

Well, you all know his wife. Michael Douglas is certainly a "chest man".

Former Scottish rugby player Gavin Hastings flying down to LCY last Friday and then the similarly-titled Chris Patterson flying up to EDI yesterday morning. BBC reporter/Deacon Blue drummer Dougie Vipond on the same flight.

Didn't he claim to have some form of throat cancer from too much, umm, tipping the velvet?

Ade Adepitan (wheelchair basketball player, was on the BBC idents in the early 2000s) in the T5 Flounge just now. Had a camera crew with him, from Wikipedia looks like he is now presenting a BBC travel show so no doubt a trip for this.

That's right, my last 2 Glasgow flights on 767's were from an international gate; think it was 28.

Kirsty Wark on the BA1474 today complaining to staff about T5 security (as were a lot of people). Looks like she connected on AA flight which I also did and got from T3 to T5 thru security in 35 mins which I thought was not bad!

Bob diamond in the CCR earlier this afternoon. On the phone for most of the time pacing around (though not disturbingly so).

Mika Hakkinen (F1 ex-world champion) at the fortnum & mason bar below the lounges. Met him a few times before at corporate events and a throughly nice chap.
