Celebrity Encounters III
I once stood next to Ian Beale out of EastEnders in the gents' toilets at the BBC. BEAT THAT. Tell us of celebrity encounters that went well, or meetings with the famous that ended up as a complete disaster. (And we'll take it as read you've just made up a "I got touched up by Jimmy Savile" story, OK?)

I was at a pub in Cambridge recently
There was an old guy at the bar who was stuck on his crossword and I'm a massive crossword geek so I asked if he minded if I had a look. He was stuck on T_R_ with the clue "Bitter sweet?" and quick as a flash I got it - "tart". He chuckled and winked, saying "I thought it might have been Tory." I sort of shrugged and left him to it.
Afterwards, my mate said "You know who that was, don't you?" I had no idea, but turns out it was Norman Tebbit. Never thought I'd help Tebbit with his crossword. Huh.

Are you one of those intellectual supermen that Boris wants us to worship as gods among us?
Good grief.
