Have you ever been rude to a celebrity?Whilst at school we had a field trip to the Ironbridge Gorge museum. Oddly enough kids TV presenter Johnny Ball happened to pick the same day to make a visit. We were rather excited and crowded round asking questions. Johnny took this rather well and held an impromptu lecture. This was all fun and games until a kid at the back threw a small rock at his head. Silence fell for a moment then Mr Ball blew a gasket and did the whole "no one is leaving until I get a confession" routine. Er.. typing this out makes me feel rather sorry for the chap. Anyway - can you beat that?

Sad Prog Rock Has beensI write reviews for a magazine that specialises in classic/progressive rock, and I mentioned that a band called Arena sounded like Marillion, at which point my personal e-mail inbox, and the magazine letters page was flooded by hatemail from their fans,who are so sad and anally retentive that they live at home with their mums,are all 40,bald and speccy have no girlfriends and have fat beer guts,read teenage sci fi and spot trains and collect Blakes 7 DVD's.I then got the keyborads personal details and posted them on a gay friend finder site. I also pissed Ian Gillan from Deep Purple off during an interview when I asked him about some remastered albums and got a 10 minute rant about how he'd lost the rights to those albums during some court battle over what he had and hadn't paid his band,the interview finished shortly after that! And when steaming roaring blind drunk I managed to insult Andy Powell from Wishbone Ash by saying that its not proper Wishbone Ash,and another band once heckled me from the stage over a review I'd written (when pissed where I got the album title wrong 4 times! whoops!, I also said they sounded like Marillion as well)
