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?

Oh, and Debbie Harry kicked a bottle at me...At the Falls Festival (a new years eve concert near melbourne) in 1998, after a day of heavy drinking, I was in the front row waiting for blondie to come out and play for us. Having waited for about 15 minutes with no band on stage, I decided to greet them with both my hands in the air, finger extended, yelling 'Fuck you Blondie' at the top of my lungs (as you do). She actually noticed me doing this in the crowd and kicked a plastic bottle at me before starting the countdown to new years. They cancelled the rest of their tour in Aus for health reasons - I like to think it was because of a shattered ego.
