K is for …

April 12, 2012 By jbmumofone 13 Comments

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.

Kings of Leon

The really stupid thing is Mr B apparently had two of their albums at home.

    Was their sex on fire?

    Hang on, is that even them?

    What a good tale, I wouldn’t have recognised them either!

    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

    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 !

      You feel kind of lucky they even have seats on an Aer-Arann twin prop!

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
