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?

George MellySaw him on Northumberland Road in Newcastle about 20 years ago when he was advertising the DIY company 'Dickens'
He was wearing his 'trademark' chequered suite, fedora hat, and was with a lady who, to be quite honest 'dodged salads'. (Fat moose).
We followed him around Newcastle for appprox. 40 mins shouting his the catchprase of 'Dickens Home Improvment Hypermarket', and eventually he told us all to 'fuck off!!!'. Which only made us follow him even more, this time shouting 'GEORGIE MELLLEEE', while pointing at him.
