I have to admit that if I'd not been seat shifted you wouldn't have known that he was even on-board.
At the EDi end he quickly disembarked, no delay or anything and no huge entourage.

Admirable.
If he'd been around recently, we wouldn't have this Euro-mess - other leaders respect him rather than laugh at him.

A certain 'Beyonce Knowles' signed the guest book in T3 Galleries First.
I doubt it was actually her, but 'she' said she enjoyed London and was flying back to NYC (must have been on AA if true).

If true, I shall respect him [in grateful hindsight] a lot more. Certainly more that a certain uber-grease-ball who shall remain nameless, and will be hopefully forgotten by History other than for his skills in personal nest-feathering, whilst destroying UK traditions and institutions, and collaborating with One-Eyed Jock over the destruction of the UK's economy, Defence and ... [/rant]
Sorry ... went a bit political there.

At least BA haven't seen off their Gold reserves, still plenty of them on here.

I've just been sat opposite Michael Portillo in Galleries South at T5, he waited for sunrise with his companion before leaving the lounge. Which seemed like a nice thing to do.

His rap sheet on the minus side way outweighs any on the plus side IMHO but you are perfectly entitled to disagree.

In case any daily mail readers are around, I'm fairly sure he would have a gold card, it's unlikely he'd be travelling in J if it was for work purposes (hell the guys rotating through Libya last year only got Y (and then a camel from Tunis or Algeris). He certainly wouldn't be in F.
I do wonder in John Simpson gets a premier card for his HighLife contributions.
