(He's Austrian actually.)<br /><br />I was on a BA flight once from London on my way to meet V. in Rome.<br /> A very nice young, English, handsome, black, male flight attendant asked if I would like a glass of wine. I replied "yes", to which he enquired further "and will you be having wine widja meal?" To which I enquired "Who's Jameel?".<br />Honest...no kidding...the truth.<br />One of my funnier blond moments.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728645243327906117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-69065744751632501782010-08-01T07:26:58.563-07:002010-08-01T07:26:58.563-07:00P.S. - No, they don't have the house in St. Iv...P.S. - No, they don't have the house in St. Ives, Moll - they live in Bremerhaven.

What a slut I am. Only one real Thomas in the house, Moll! (my real name is Cecil)<br /><br />What a life the Coopers lead, what a beauty Diana was. When in Farnham, I flashed past a sign on the end of a lane which read, "To: Runfold Palace and the Towers of Jocasta". When we went out to inspect this fabulous place, the sign actually read, "To: Runfold Place, The Towers, Jocasta". Three nice little bungalows.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-80992187592068560232010-08-01T06:02:36.333-07:002010-08-01T06:02:36.333-07:00When quite young, the late Lady Diana Cooper saw a...When quite young, the late Lady Diana Cooper saw a sign in Kensington Gardens which said 'No Birdnesting'.

Is it their house, in September that you're going down to St Ives? I like the bit where his girlfriend translated 'no hard feelings for 3 smiles'. It's usually the alternative highway code hand signals you come across round here. Have a great reunion all of you. MollMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604864977387798470noreply@blogger.com
