Dunbar Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I was in the departure lounge of Antigua Airport about 5 years ago. My daughter was three and so I was keeping her entertained playing in the quiet part of the seating. A woman rushed past... she was quite attractive and so I kept an eye on her. Then she dropped her passport and I told my daughter to pick it up. We tried to call her but she was rushing away. Anyway, I picked her up and we ran a little way down the airport where said woman was panicking at the gate trying to find her passport. I casually told my little girl to hand it to her and we got a massive thank you. I did get a look at the passport and it was Natalie Imbruglia. And yes, for a very small amount of time I considered pocketing it as a souvenir! "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

JDINTHEHIZZOUSE Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Antonio Fargas ( huggy bear) A mate of mine was in a stage play with him in London in the mid 90's and, as mates are prone to do, I went down to see him. It was a bit ###### to be truthful, but I had a chance to sit and talk with him and his wife after the show and they were both very nice. On reflection, I should have asked them what they thought about head and feed but it was the 90's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glemiln Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Now, I guess some of these will get some flak! Late seventies, early eighties, first in Aberdeen, then again -in Aberdeen and Houston (Texas, not Whitney!). As Manager of the Company’s exhibition, I was selected to meet, greet and escort Margaret Thatcher and, a year later, Cecil Parkinson. I can only say that Maggie nearly hit me with her handbag, when I replied to her question with “of course Prime Minister”. She replied ”it maybe obvious to you young man” - note the latter. Denis only wished to get to the nearby golf watering hole. Cecil was charming and he never mentioned Sarah Keays. The other time at a “do” at The Houses of Parliament- meeting Professor Bellamy, Andrew Neil and Joanna Lumley. Suffice to say that the latter made the e-v-e-r-l-a-s-t-i-n-g impression.
