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?

The "Norm" incidentA colleage of mine ran into George Wendt (of Cheers fame) in Covent Garden, and shouted "Hi Norm!". He got a 10-minute lecture that can be summarized as "my name is not Norm, Norm is just a character I played on Cheers, today I'm on vacation, I don't need assholes like you shouting "Norm" at me on a beautiful day like today". I swear the poor guy was a foot shorter when he landed in the office on Monday...
