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?

Emmerdale scotsmanBack in the late 90's I went to a coupla Doctor Who conventions, during the evening caberet it was my round, so off wandered to the bar,and came back laden down with 4 pints of the strongest bitter I could find,only to see some git sat in my place,so I stood there and muttered and glared at this interloper, who had the decency to move out of the way and look suitably embarresed.Only after he left the aisle and went up onto the stage did I realise it was kilt wearing haggis munching horse loving thesp Frazer Hines (who'se actually quite a top bloke as we found out in the bar afterwards) where we ended up drinking the place dry as Michael Sheard (who played Mr Bronson in Grange Hill) stood on a chair singing School's Out by Alice Cooper (I kid ye not)I also bought him a pint and told him Mr Bronson was an arsehole, and he smiled and said yes he was,and that its fun sometimes to play arseholes and have small children cry when you wander into shops.Top bloke.
apologies for the length
