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?

News just in......I work (well, when I say work, I'm at work right now!)for an insurance company which has gone through a couple of mergers over the past few years. They have now learned their lesson, but the first time we merged, the company treated ALL staff to a 'Brand Day' in Brum, with motivational videos (our new ad featured 'We can be heroes' by Bowie), top bods being questioned by media celeb and free booze and a dinner dance after plus a room for the night.
Well, poor Micheal Buerk (for it was he). One of his comments was "I thought journalists and politicians drank a lot until last night!!" (I was at the 2nd of 3 events). Everyone got totally wasted, and one of my few memories of that night is staggering against Michel Buerk in the gents, while tying to get my dick back in my trousers, laughing hysterically in his face, leaning on his shoulder and saying "sorry mate, I fink I'm a bit pished, can you call 999?"
...not surprisingly, the coach journey home from Brum to York the next morning was THE most horrendous journey of my life.
