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?

Went to a local lecture hosted by one Patrick "Xylophone" Moore onceAfter which I joined the queue of hopeful nobodies seeking his autograph and an opportunity to bamboozle the old duffer with bizarre "how heavy is a charmed green quark?"-type questions.
I managed to confuse the hell out of the poor old sod by asking him how an ISA worked (he had a cameo as a 'rocket scientist' in an old Abbey National ad with Alan Davies) ... unsurprisingly, he had no fecking idea WTFIWOA.
Not so much rude as obscure, really
