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?

Jeremy "spack hand" Beadle...I once worked part time on a stall on Stockport market (Nr Manchester) and witnessed a guy yelling at one of his kids & shaking him by the shoulder quite roughly - must have been whinging for an ice cream or something...
I shouted over for him to "Quit it or else..." as customers were getting annoyed with the commotion, and as the guy gave me an evil stare I realised it was old spack hand!!
After about 10 seconds of the "Do you know who I am?" stare, he ducked his head down, turned 180 degrees and herded the gob-smacked family away at high speed - with the kid giving me a big grin over his shoulder as they went.
Result!!
