I love people-watching. Correction, I used to love people-watching. Before I had a toddler. Now I daren’t take my eyes off him for a second incase he accidentally causes some formidable catastrophe by way of his ever-jiggling arms/legs/feet.
Airports are the best places ever for people-watching. Mr B and I spent two years commuting weekly between Cardiff and Dublin so we spent a lot of time doing this. While waiting for our normally delayed Aer-Arann twin-prop we would often pass the time looking around at our fellow passengers and trying to guess what they did, or where they might be going.
One weekend we spotted a group of very skinny american boys with long hair and the TIGHTEST jeans you have ever seen. They looked as though they had been painted on. “Do you think they’re in a band?” we sniggered, while mentally making a note to steer clear on the plane if we could. We figured they were probably annoying students on a gap year.
We actually ended up sat right behind them and, fortunately, they seemed really quite pleasant.
On arriving in Dublin, after passing through security, they were greeted by their fans.
Turns out they weren’t annoying gap-year students.
And they actually were in a band.
This one.
The really stupid thing is Mr B apparently had two of their albums at home.

LMAO oohhhhh dear… see, it pays to keep up with what the ‘kids’ are listening to nowadays…
I know, I just can’t be bothered most of the time.
Was their sex on fire?
Hang on, is that even them?
What a good tale, I wouldn’t have recognised them either!
LOL, yes it is theirs! 🙂
Years ago my stepdad was annoyed by a lot of very loud girls on Eurostar. Turns out it was the Spice Girls at the height of their fame – and he had no idea
That is hilarious! Thanks for commenting x
So funny ! I am also a big people watcher, I have my people watching window in the kitchen which is right onto a busy street. Problem is I think I know the people who regularly pass by. Then when I see them in the street and say hi they think I’m a nutter !
Mahaha, I am sure they don’t 🙂
I take it they don’t have first class on Aer-Arann twin props then?!
You feel kind of lucky they even have seats on an Aer-Arann twin prop!
