Met him once, at Malaga airport when the planes had all been grounded due to the Icelandic volcano.
Just said hello and talked about being put up in hotels by the airline. Nice chap.

I slept on the floor for a while in the airport with wifey and was interviewed by the press.
Told them I was just a bit tired and had a hotel to go to later.
The big news channels and newspapers later showed pictures of hundreds of people asleep in the concourse.
Not true.
I was there and there were maybe 6 other people stuck, the rest had been given free accommodation.
An Arab paper actually showed me and wifey and said how sad and unhappy we were.
Nonsense!
