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?

Mark Curry off Blue PeterSeeing as that ex Blue Peter presenter died yesterday they were showing clips of her on the news last night - one was her with Mark Curry doing some meruenge dancing I think. Now - do a slow close up on Mark Curry (cue Swishy backwards time noises). Me and my mate sat on a train coming down from Glasgow to Lancaster on it's way to London - about 17 years ago.
Me and my mate were smoking and having a lairy laugh about "things that annoyed us" in a men-behaving-badly sort of way. Some time earlier I'd whispered to my mate that the bloke sat on the opposite side of the carriage looked like that ex Blue Peter presenter Mark Curry.
We were having a laugh really, minding our own business - thinking - if that really "IS" Mark Curry, he'll spot our comedic talent and get us a job on the telly. So we were pulling all the stops out - f**k the no-smoking sign - we'll have a smoke and a joke.....
"I can't understand it..."
"What?"
"Swahili"
"Me neither... You know what makes me sick?"
"What?"
"Drinking a pint of salty water"
"Eugh yeah.... You know what annoys me?"
"What?"
"That noise you get."
"What noise?"
"EeeeeeEEEEh!"
"Ah yes - "
"-and you know what annoys me?"
Shit - it was Mark Curry chipping in - result!
We looked over with fags in our mouths and expectant eager grins on our faces - we both said:
"What?"
"People smoking in no smoking compartments on trains"
Cue mumbled "Sorry"s and blushing and sitting in silence for the rest of the journey till we got off at Lancaster.
We waited till the guard blew the whistle then banged on the windows of the train - flicking Vs at Mark Curry!!!! Revenge!
Sorry for the long post etc ;)
