Celebrities part II
Five years ago, we asked if you've ever been rude to a celebrity, or have been on the receiving end of a Z-List TV chef's wrath. By popular demand, it's back - if you have beans, spill them.

I've never directly been rude to a celebrity, may be just mildly annoying...
I popped into a Marks and Sparks during a lunch break some years ago... I was in a bit of a rush, so as I was heading towards the queue to the cash registers, I sort of dashed in front of the two guys who were about to join the aforementioned queue... After I payed, I turned around to see one of the two guys behind me was in fact Goldie (this one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldie). He gave me a bit of an evil look, and that was that.
Speaking of evil looks, next to my office there is a tv production company. Outside one day, was Simon Amstell. I glared at him as I walked past, he stopped his conversation with whoever it was and glared back. A very odd moment, that.
Now back when I was still in uni, I had to pop over to Kew Gardens. One of my mates agreed to come with me whilst I gathered info for a project. There seemed to be heightened security and more and more journalists appearing during the time I was walking around - somehting was happening...
We were walking back to the Palm House, when up ahead were a large group of journalists and photographers walking up the path. Both of us decided to not jump out of the way, and simply carried on walking thought the mass of press types. I suddenly stopped, as soon as they had passed us, turned to my mate and said:
"holy shit, did you see who that was?"
"Yeah! THAT WAS JOHN LENNON!" was his reply in a very loud voice.
It was, in fact, Paul McCartney and Heather Mills. I never discovered if they heard my good friend's proclamation...

Boring - but true - answer
Nope - he's said he quit cos a) he was bored with it and b) wanted to concentrate on his standup (which he is very good at).

I've crossed paths with Simon Amstell
back in the days when he was a presenter on popworld, the production company's office was in the same building as ours, and I saw him in the bar while I was on a smoke break.
He didn't say anything to me, he just started 'checking me out', winked at me, and wandered off.
Strangely enough, I've never been a fan of his work...

I
once bumped into "Wacky Thumbs Aloft" while looking for holly bushed some years ago.
I was walking along with my dad and uncle and pulling bushes back and standing on fences when this bloke up a ladder cutting back some sort of tree, said "What you looking for?"
"Holly bushes. For Christmas (like it needed explaining, it being that time of year)".
"If you go over that sty(sp) at the end of this road, turn to the right, you'll find loads of them."
"Cheers."
He was right thought.
