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?

"Celebrity" such as she wasAt the end-of-tour party for the PSB in 1991, a good mate of mine (yes I was present also) ran into Sinead O'Connor. He, being the entertaining, gregarious sort of chap that he is, said to her "Oy! You're a dodgy old trout aren't you? I bet you've never been called a dodgy old trout before, have you? You dodgy old trout."
Her response was silence and a swift exit from the scene. She hadn't done anything particularly offensive to my mate, except be who she is, and thus received the well-deserved appellation of "dodgy old trout." I'd like to take credit for this, but Tom deserves the honours.
