Bono Pays£1,000 To Fly Favourite Hat To Italy
http://www.sina.com.cn 2003/09/24 13:03  金羊网-新快报

  Bono reportedly splashed out£1,000 to have his trilby flown first class to Italy.

  The U2 singer had forgotten to pack his favourite hat for a charity gig with Luciano Pavarotti. So he organised an epic journey to ensure it arrived safely from England, reports The Sun. First a cab took the hat to Gatwick Airport from West London, running up a£100 fare and tip. Once there, stewards collected the trilby and put it on Monday's 1.40pm British Airways flight to Bologna, costing Bono£442.

  But even though it had its own first class seat, flight attendants were concerned it would go missing or get squashed so they moved it into the cockpit. On touch-down, a£150 hired driver grabbed the hat and sped to Modena, Pavarotti's home town and the venue for the concert. An insider told The Sun: "Including£200 insurance and tips, he spent about£1,000 flying it out - but that's nothing compared to the amount he'll have raised on the night."

英国乐队U2:一顶帽子的昂贵旅行

  英国著名乐队U2组合的成员博诺去意大利参加一个慈善活动,可是,他在出发时却忘记把自己最喜爱的软毡帽带上。为此,博诺策划了一个“毡帽传递仪式”,让他心爱的软毡帽“坐”头等舱从伦敦空运到意大利。博诺为这一活动支付了1000英镑。

  他的帽子首先由出租车送往伦敦的盖特卫克机场,车费和小费花了100英镑。抵达机场后,帽子被飞机乘务员接送到星期一下午1时40分起飞的英航班机上,飞往意大利博洛纳。博诺为此支付了442英镑的费用。

  尽管这顶帽子在头等舱有一个自己的位子,但飞机上的服务员还是担心它会丢失,或者被压坏。于是,他们把帽子安置在了驾驶舱里。飞机降落后,一个司机将帽子接往演唱会举行之所——帕瓦罗蒂的家乡莫德纳,这名司机的工钱为150英镑。另外,为了保证帽子的安全,博诺还为它支付了200英镑的保险费。(公律)
