I think i offended Sinbad and Jimmy Corkhill from Brookside.
I was at the Royal court in Liverpool with an ex-girlfriend of mine watching a performance on the press night. I was treated to free beer and food and had guest seats and found myself sitting slightly in front of Jimmy Corkhill and slightly to the left of Sinbad.

Anyhow, being the drunken immature fool i am, i kept trying to make my ex-girlfriend laugh by whispering 'Sinbad' into her ear and nudging her. It didn't really work, she just ignored me, but this made me giggle more. As it was just loud enough for her to hear, but not loud enough for him to hear me.

A few beers later just as we were getting ready to watch the curtain raise, i decided to amuse her/myself one more time by whispering 'Sinbad' into her ear, knowing she'll flinch and be embaressed, but as fate would have it, the lights dimmed, the audience went silent except for this drunken fool not realising the volume of his own voice, and more or less shouted 'SINBAD!' quite loudly.

He was about two feet away and if looks could kill....

Slightly unrelated, after the show was over i made my way to the bar, and Jimmy Corkhill politely let me get to the bar after stepping aside. Not really thinking i muttered 'Cheers Corkhill'.

I have no idea why.
