Friend of mine used to drive “celebrities “ too and from BBC studios many years ago

Always said 99% were normal, pleasant people and willing to chat and were good company

However, he did say that Geldof was a complete twat

Obnoxious, foul mouthed and not very clean a total tit

Surprisingly he also said Cilla Black was a complete diva and not very pleasant

How is Bob Geldof allowed live in the UK and receive a knighthood? He's not a British citizen.

I think you can get a knighthood but you aren't necessarily a "sir"

Cilla Black isn't surprising. I think she had a reputation of being awful.

I remember reading that she'd always complain on planes, but make her assistant do the talking while she sat refusing to make eye contact with the plane attendants.

Never forgive him for mocking fishermen on the Thames. He's the epitome of what is wrong with left-wing politics nowadays

This was money that never got that far allegedly.

She always had great stories as worked as a contractor doing PI work. Was contracted to get copies of James Whatshisnames biography before it was released to see what the scandal was about Diana.

Became employed by his cleaning firm and copied the entire thing and handed it to the services whilst he was at a gala.
