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?

I'm The Leader...Few years ago, still living with the parents, used to frequent the scabby old local most nights. Frighteningly enough, this was also the closest pub to Gary Glitter's house (The George, Wedmore, Somerset). Gary used to come in with Martin his obscene and flash manager (Loadsa Money) very occasionally until the nonce rumours started - no sign for months after that.
Well the landlord had a decent sense of humour and a copy of Photoshop, so prominent on the bar there stood a great A4 poster of Mr Shitter with the words 'Wanna be in my gang, kids?' in big bold red letters.
It was a real laugh and all the locals and visitors chuckled every time they walked by. Until one day, just before his trial, our mate Gary popped in for a small one(!). Silence fell as he read the poster. That was the last time the locals of the George ever saw old GG!
Edit - oh, and we used to stand outside his bedroom window singing 'I'm the Paeda of the gang' on the way home from the pub.
