Airport StoriesBack when I was a moody teenager I took a cheap flight that involved changing planes and having to go through security again. My bags were pre-checked so, when I set off the metal detector, I honestly said to the security guy that I had no idea what had set it off.
Until, that is, he searched me and found the metal knife and fork stamped "KLM" I'd nicked off the previous flight.

Edinburgh Airport, 1999Was in the newsagents browsing the magazines when I spotted One Foot in the Grave star Richard Wilson. After briefly perusing the newspapers, he strode up to the counter and, in his perfect narked-off-old man voice, said, "Haven't you got any Guardians?". They didn't.
Perfect time to bring out the "I don't beleeeeve it!" catchprase, you'd think, particularly as I was standing right behind him... However, I didn't. Why? Well, the very night before I'd watched the Father Ted episode when Ted creeps up on Richard Wilson, says the catchprase and gets twatted by the great man as a result... Definitely a missed opportunity though.
