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?

Eddie IzzardWhile on a short trip to New York, I spotted Eddie Izzard in Central Park. Me being unattentive, wasn't quite sure it was him, so I decided to follow him. After stalking him for a few minutes he turned around and said:
"I'm sorry, can I help you?"
(and there was me thinking I was inconspicuous...)
So I replied, "Sorry... You're Eddie Izzard, right? Only, I came all the way to America, just to see an English person?? This sucks!..." and I carried on ranting about how I could've ran into Robert De Niro, anybody, and it had to be bloody Eddie fucking Izzard.
When I was done, and he had walked away feeling disappointed, I decided to follow him more - after all, I had nothing better to do.
I don't think he noticed...
