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?

Douglas Hurd and Eddie GrundyFirst, kudos to my friend Dan who once shoved Eddie Grundy (The Archers) out of the way at a signing in HMV, so eager he was to get at this week's new releases.
I used to commentate at horse shows in a little box in the middle of the field and inform the mums and dads in the car park how their little darlings were progressing around the cross country course. I used to swing a lot on my swivel chair as the course was all around me and I didn't notice a bloke had come and sat ont he steps of the cabin. I whizzed round to see behind me and my booted foot clouted this guy in the head. I then realised it was ex-Foreign Minister Douglas Hurd and the fact that I had just been commentating on a girl called Jessica Hurd seemed to confirm this. He mumbled a bit, put his glasses back on and ambled off.
