Sociology students be wary...
During me 'community' phase (no, I wasn't being "cared for in the community" nor was I doing "community service" - this was totally voluntary..) I met Germain Greer.

Now she was a hero to me at the time because she'd appeared on HIGNFY, was one of the few people I could remember from A-Level Sociology and had actually turned up at one of those awful conferences at The QE2 Conference Centre in Westminster to talk about things that made me sound educated to East End girls (something about feminism or something..)

Anyhew - she turned up at a certain East End Community Centre where I was working and completely ignored me when she was introduced to us - it was almost like I didn't exist in the room or something... she was quite happy to talk to the other two in the room, but me.. nothing...

(I'd like to add something funny like I asked her to do the washing up to offend her, but no - she totally blanked me and went on talking to two complete idiots in the room... not that I'm annoyed nearly 10 years on...)
