(Sir) Steve Redgrave, last August. Sat behind my wife on our flight back from Athens.

Had his wife and 3 teenage kids with him.

Richard Blackwood and Mark Pugatch on the same flight to Manchester.

I would have had no idea who either of these two were but I always read the boards that people hold up in arrivals! Pugatch was being picked up Man City. Fascinating stuff.

when i was a baby (according to my mum) i was about 1 years old and flying back to england from switzerland and playing right up by all accounts, crying and shit.
my mother couldn't stop me crying so i was taken by members of the Bee-Gees who were also on the flight and apparently, they had me on their laps trying to stop and calm me down. :lolol:

Sounds to me like a case of the New York Whining Disaster 1941.

Or maybe it was simply a touch of Night Fever.

Didn't Richard Blackwood once release a song called "1,2,3,4 get wit da wicked"?

Hove, f***ing ACTUALLY.
I generally fly twice a week, sometimes more and these days its unusual not to see someone relatively well known at the Airport, however the most EXCITING person I have ever sat next to on a flight was David BUMBLE Lloyd, what a top bloke he is.

Marcel Desailly on a flight to Marseille, very much up his own arse.

Michael Portillo on a flight to Edinburgh, just as you expect but had some fit 'secretary' with him.

Had a beer at Heathrow with the Sugarbabes - I would.
Saw Warwick Davis (an Ewok and Willow) and he is small even for a dwarf, Rolf Harris and one of the girls from Blue Peter at Heathrow.
