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?

Dalai LamaAs you'll read in an item listed below, I was once a photo person.
I had the opportunity in the 80's to travel around Australia for 2 weeks with the Dalai Lama and photograph him (for free of course) as a record of his visit.
I knocked it back.
That was rude to him (in my eyes, now, one of the greatest celebrities of all time) and his entourage who invited me to do it.
And the supremely dumbest thing I've ever done in my whole life.
(That, and chucking a letter Don Bradman sent me, thanking me for copying some of his old photos for him.)
Hey, I was young.
