News and notes from around the interweb:
- Roger Moore at the Nice airport. Legend.
Perhaps the greatest celebrity story ever here, about ROGER MOORE. Give yourself a treat if you've not read it. pic.twitter.com/gwKpUd5OlE

- Woman books American Airlines tickets on Orbitz, her booking details are improperly sent to sent someone else and that person – fearing identity theft – contacts the police (at American’s suggestion). Cops arrest the passenger in Dallas during a layover and now she’s suing.
- Tom Stuker has now flown 24 million miles on United. He crossed 23 million last year. I wrote more extensively about him when he hit 22 million during the pandemic and first covered him in 2009.
- Mile High Club attempt gone wrong
At one point, the hot water got turned on and started running down her butt. …people knocking on the door caused Josi to accidentally bump into the flusher of the toilet.
…his feather boa ended up getting sucked down with the flush, making for a dicey situation thanks to the fact that he had double wrapped it around his neck. He was essentially being choked by the toilet…
His difficulty breathing along with the pain forced the plane to make an emergency landing. He then ended up in the emergency room where it was determined that Ruby had a partially fractured hyoid bone and was having an anxiety attack.
- Maintain. Your. Planes.

- Wut.
Always good to find a well known person who isn’t so full of themselves that they are impossible to be around. Fame can be fleeting, but people remember who is decent–and they usually like themselves better too!
With clear conditions and the desired wind direction, landing at NCE makes the aisle-seat lover want a window seat.
Whoa! Packed stories…
That belt is genius for not waking oneself from a wayward head! Should’ve explained to and asked the passenger behind though.
Roger Moore, a very underrated Bond. Sure his movies were campy, but they were also playful and fun, and during the height of the cold war no less. Of course his movies now also trigger sensitivity mobs, but that’s just a bonus.
Even more reasons to avoid American Airlines. I don’t blame the police as they were just doing their job. I hope she gets her lawsuit money before AA goes bankrupt once again and has to be bought out by JetBlue.
I hope the belt was an extra one otherwise emergency exiting may be complicated by having to hold up pants.
Met Sir Roger at two of his NYC book signings. Very nice man, despite the very long line of people waiting to get their books signed, he took the time to say hi, answer a Bond question and offer a thanks for buying his book. First time I was ever really starstruck was at his signings.
That was a great Roger Moore story. Made my morning.
