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?

Can u spell tutu too?My wife is Norwegian and was working at a semi-posh hotel in Oslo in the early mid '80's. In walks in a large group of people. One walks up and announces his name, Desmond Tutu (in town to receive the Nobel Peace prize). My wife, who never reads the paper, and didn't know who he was, asks politely, like she would of any guest "Can you spell that please?" The rest of his entourage thought this to be insulting and outrageous, but the man himself, responded politely.
Not really insulting, but funny, in a way.
