Envious, moi?

One of the co-workers has just returned from a holiday to Mexico. When he was checking-in at the airport he noticed a group of vaguely familiar looking young men checking-in at the next-door desk. Their luggage was piled high around them and everything was covered in 'KC'. He continued to ponder who they might be as he was ushered to his Economy Class seat, only to discover that the same lads were sitting behind him and on hunch he asked them 'Excuse me, are you the Kaiser Chiefs?'

*sigh* Honestly, these opportunities are wasted on the clueless :) Anyway, they apparently were all very nice and polite if looking rather bored at being stuck on a plane for 13 hours. They said that yes they were, they'd just played a gig the previous night in Mexico, and the co-worker got them to do a personalised set of autographs for his nephew's upcoming birthday.

His description of the band was: 'Well there was one with lots of curly hair. And another who was very tall. And another one who was shorter...' He asked me which one was the lead singer and I discovered it's actually quite hard to describe the guy, though we got there in the end when co-worker exclaimed 'Oh yes! One of them did sign his name Wilson!' *facepalms*

In other news, there was a poll run by the charity Beating Bowel Cancer to find the Rear of the Year. This year the winners were weatherlady Sian Lloyd and one Lee Mead. Have to say, if I can reach 49 and still have a behind like hers, I'll be content with my lot =)

At least he did better than I would have done, they could have gotten up and sung their greatest hits and I still wouldnt have known who they were.

Well to be honest the Kaisers are probably one of only three bands I could actually recognise on sight, normally I'm clueless when it comes to music, but in this case I was popping out of my chair going 'You met who?!'

HAHA! That story is the best. Non-fanboys/fangirls are more prone to encounter our favorite bands than ourselves. ;)

It's just so unfair. The co-workers often have to go to different cities for conferences and I'm just waiting to hear that they unwittingly bumped into a Torchwood/DW star *sigh* :)

I've seen the KC's in concert and don't think I'd recognise them if they sat behind me on the plane *is useless* lol!

Well to be honest the only one I could recognise by himself would probably be Wilson, but when they're all conveniently grouped I can put a name to the collective. And also if I remember correctly you and BM wound up eyeing regions slightly south of the face when you went to that gig ;)
