The Lost Weekend, part 8

[jamesq]

Home again, home again.

On the plane, there were three minor Canadian celebrites. Having a bit of a tiff apparently. One was pissed off at the other two. So much so that when the flight attendents moved them to the emergency exit aisle (where I was sitting, by myself, which is against some regulations), he flipped them off. All was well as they exited the plane though, As he got a hug from one of his costars.

I will say that actors' abilities to charm anyone gets on my nerves (lacking this ability myself). They had all four attendants eating out of their hands, and one cute girl ended up going with them after the flight for drinks. Nice.

So that was my brush with fame. Didn't talk to them at all - mostly because any conversation would have started like this: "I love your show, even though I've never watched it". That just seems a little stupid as conversations go.

I've worked with actors, some are nice, some are wankers and some just need a good slap!

"some are wankers"

ah how I miss the phrases of my mothertongue! ;) I keep having to explain what "chuffed" means!

I'd like to know what the difference is between "some are wankers" and "some just need a good slap".

[spanglespangle2.livejournal.com]

umm, you got me there. Of course they need a good slap if they're wankers! I'll rephrase it - "Some are nice and some just need a good slap (because they're wankers".

Hey Mallt, whereabouts in England do you hail from? My brother lives in Montreal. Must be annoying having to explain everything. Canadians tend to have a pretty dry sense of humour though, so you should be OK.
