Superb fella, friendly, charming and responsible. Completely rescued an evening where a drunk boorish ex team mate of his offended a whole group of people with lewd comments and grotesque behaviour
The said boorish idiot

Just a quiet guy.
What did Cilla do on a BA flight?Easy game. One celebrity who was absolutely lovely, one who was shit. Don't need a lot of detail and hopefully @Bozza can't get sued.
Example
Molly Sugden
Lovely - source, local newspaper photographer
Cilla Black
Shit - source British Airways air crew
(God we need this City game desperately)

No danger of libelling the dead, so it’s widely known Cilla was an absolutely awful person to be around in those heady days of being alive. She got through 7 PA’s in a year at one point.
I don’t have my own personal story about her, despite working in the biz (she was before my time thankfully) but colleagues have described her as an absolute tyrant and deeply unpleasant person.

Here is a clue. One of these is a bloke who understands working class rhythm, and is completely lovely. The other is a pasty faced old ****.
Lovely
Source: My sister, GamesMaker during London 2012, he was on a train out of London late one night during the games and was genuinely interested in hearing what it was like, seemed a genuine guy
Shit
Source: Friend of my parents who worked for HMRC. Even before all the recent stuff back in the 1990s he regularly told stories about how he was arrogant, rude and treated the plebs like shit.

My mate Bob remembers Cilla from when she worked as a hat check girl at the original Cavern.
According to him, she was a bit of a ****.

Fair play!Come on JC, you must have a lovely and a shit
Dame Judi Dench. I was covering stage sound for a friend, so was crouching in the wing next to the mic monitors. Dame Judi stands beside me waiting in the wings for her entrance, looks down and sees a very nervous young man crouching at knee level.
“Oh, you’re new! Where’s (my friend)?”
“Oh um, I’m sorry… I..”… (I panicked). She let out a little giggle and said “hold that thought”. Then went on and did her scene, came back and had a ten minute conversation with me in the wing while I neglected my duty. It was a bit like being spoken to by the Queen, it overrides protocol.
She asked me how I was, about my family, my ambitions. Genuinely interested in other people and thoroughly disarming. And of course a wonderful actress.
Don’t often get starstruck but you were in the presence of a star who was also a wonderful woman.

Evening.
She was legendary rude and was the subject of many a thread on the airlines industry version of NSC.
Having scouse in laws who were around in the 60s, not that well liked up there either.

I'm dealt with a few shits over the years, but a big big snoopy loopy call out to Steve Davis the snooker legend.
Lovely, lovely man. A gentleman even in his just his underpants which were the circumstances under which I met him.

Nick Hancock. Spent a day making a video with him. So funny
Not so much fun
Spent an evening with Sharron Davies who spent all night talking about herself. John Virgo was also in attendance and was a top man
