Come on - who was it?
To be honest Eric, I can't remember his name. I met him in Las Vegas in February. He was wearing a Virgin Galactic bomber jacket, which was pointed out to all and sundry by his fawning trophy wife. He told me that he was to be the very first paying customer. I remember wiki'ing his name at the time at it checked out that he was on the list. Even mild mannered Mrs Blib go annoyed with the chap in the helicopter. When we landed to refuel, having spent 40 minutes cooped up with this chap, his wife made a point of approaching us to apologise for his antics. Mrs Blib cut her short by saying, "Well, at least I don't have to live with him"
On the flight back to the city, he actually asked the helicopter pilot to take his hands from the controls so that he could take a photo with the chap's humungous camera. The pilot pointed out that if he did that, we'd crash. At that point I just couldn't control myself any longer and laughed uproariously. He wasn't amused.
I wish no harm on anyone. But, really.
Hehe:

Hey! How very dare you! I'll have you know that I'm a powerfully built, goatee sporting, company director!
I've checked out the list and I can't work out who it is. When I checked in February I googled his name and worked it out that way. Oh well. He's still a twonk.
