Cringe!Chickenlady winces, "I told a Hugh Grant/Divine Brown joke to my dad, pretending that Ms Brown was chewing gum so she'd be more American. Instead I just appeared to be still giving the blow-job. Even as I'm writing this I'm cringing inside."
Tell us your cringeworthy stories of embarrassment. Go on, you're amongst friends here...

StranglersMy old band supported the Stranglers once. This was just after Hugh had left and they were playing a bunch of smaller venues in order to break in the new singer. After the show we blagged our way into the backstage room to meet them.
So there I was, sat with 2 of my bandmates sharing a spliff with JJ Burnell. Pretty cool, huh? Well, being somewhat shy and also a little awestruck by the whole thing, I actually hardly said a word, whilst my 2 bandmates chatted easily with JJ.
When it came time for us to leave, we all filed out, shaking hands with the band as we went. I was last to leave but I was determined that I was going to have at least *some* kind of conversation with JJ before the opportunity was gone forever.
So as I shook his hand, the only thing I could muster up was -
"great bass sound, er...mate"
He just turned and walked off.
(still, at least I got to play through JJs bass rig, which was fackin awesome!)
