WHAT A RANDOM STORY! It’s actually funny AND scary at the same time. James Blunt’s sister was desperate to get to Ireland to attend a funeral. She had no method of getting there. So what does good ol’ James do? He puts an auction up on eBay asking for someone to give her a ride. In the end, she made it via helicopter and is now scheduled to marry the guy in a few weeks. Luckily for them, this story has a happy ending. But I would be too nervous to get into some guy’s random helicopter! You can take the girl out of Queens…
“I came back to the flat where my sister was staying and she was crying because she couldn’t get to a funeral in Ireland. The planes were on strike, the ferry was out of season, and there were no trains. I ended up whacking it on eBay: ‘Damsel in distress seeks knight in shining armour! Desperate to get to a funeral in southern Ireland, please help!’ The bids flooded in and the guy who won had a helicopter.
“He flew her to the funeral. That was three years ago. This summer they’re getting married. That was the stupidest thing I’ve ever sold on eBay – my sister.”
i agree with CatsMommy, otherwise it would be a very stupid atitude of him !
