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?

Sting and other bits of poinless triviaMany moons ago I worked in a building in London that had EMI records on the top floor (up near Tottenham Court Road for those interested) - We used to have all kinds of people coming in and out. One day I shared the lift with Sting (who had got out of a limo looking like he had just been dragged through a hedge backwards) and as we made the journey up in awkward silence I turned to him and said "I never realized you were that short" Sting looked at me and said "errr, thanks" - Thankfully the lift doors opened and I wandered off.
Just for pointless info, a chap by the name of Gaztop (I think he was a kids presenter) and I were pretty pally and he was as mad as a march hare. And.... I met Jimmy Nail (in the same lift as Sting but not at the same time) and he was a great laugh cracking jokes all the way.
Oh and my claim to fame... I sang on stage with Bruce Springsteen at Wembley Arena after he pulled me out of the crowd...Okay I will stop now.
