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?

Howard Marks. . .came to talk at my student union about four years ago, and afterwards joined us in the local "purple turtle" for a bit of a chat and a smoke
we offered to buy him a beer, but he refused and told us to have one and put it on his tab
sensing blood, we told the barman that marksy had offered to buy everyone in the bar a drink, which caused a stampede of booze hungry students and- I'd imagine- much financial hardship for the old hippy
still, for that moment he was the most popular man in the thames valley. . ..
