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?

Nick FaldoWhen I was 13 was at this *fun* golf tournament Oregon that my daftly-rich uncle got free tickets for...
After a day being bored shitless trogging around this course full of overpaid biggirlsblouses in crap trousers, I thought I'd pretend to disregard the (incidentally amusing) sign that said "No autographs between holes" and ask Mr. Nick Faldo for his scribble on a bit of this rubbish free hat (the ones with many slats in that always look shit).
He replied under his breath in a Swiss-Tony-meets-wise-wizard-type way "You know the rules... I'm not about to make an exception after that last shot..."
So as my uncle was out of sight I feigned 'Spoilt rich British kid who always gets own way or Daddy will have him shot', pretended to cry and call him "most unfair!" in an awful imitation of some Just William character (difficult in Britain with my strong Barnsley accent... easy in the US where everyone thinks Barnsley's in 'Scotchland'). He swiftly tried to make amends and we ended up doing an uncomfortable dance where my crap hat eventually got a sort of cross of blue biro on it.
That's about it really.
EDIT - REALISED THIS IS NOT TEHNICALLY AN INSULT. SORRY. WILL SAVE FOR WHEN THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK IS 'WHAT'S THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE DANCE YOU'VE EVER HAD?'
