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?

Michael StipeI went to see REM at the NEC about 1987.
In the seat in front of me was a chap who was so the worse for drink he managed to sleep through the whole thing. He did wake up briefly while Michael Stipe was talking about how we should all boycott Exxon to a hushed arena. He shouted out 'PLAY SOME MUSIC!' and was told by a furious Stipe that he could go home if he didn't like it. Unphased, our hero then nodded off again. He did wake a second time, pulled a spliff out of his pocket, took a drag, turned round, passed it to me and went back to sleep. What a star!
