Stelios used to claim that his birthday was 14th February, and in the very early days of easyJet, used to give every passenger on every plane a box of chocolates. --scruss 13:42, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Stelios's success? what success is that? every single business he has started has failed with huge losses of £100s of millions. The only reason easyJet went ok was firstly because his shipping tycoon dad financed the operation and his brother and sister were co-owners. Please tell the world how successful easyInternet, easyCinema, easyCarRentals, easyWatches, easyMobile, easyMusic, easyBus, easyHotel, have been. I can inform you that they have lost a cummulative £300,000,000.00 since inception. The only reason he got his knighthood because of his donation to the Labour Party it had nothing to do with the queen. As Stelios is a Monaco resident and a tax exile he is only entitled to an honarary knighthood anyway and as soon as the newspapers catch on it will be downgraded. Or if he wants to keep it he can register for UK tax and pay millions to the Inland Revenue like the us commoners! Marc_Almond

I'd be interested to know in what ways Stelios is 'colourful' or 'controversial' other than by draping everything in garish orange. More accurate words are 'gauche' and 'awkward'.
