Patrick Moore!
EDIT: Not shit, but still pretty awesome!

After going on a trip to Chichester Planetarium due to G&T project in my county, I wwas invited on a trip to Patrick Moore's house with 7 other people. We used his telescopes, ate nibbles, and listened to his genuinely funny stories.

Turns out, because he's now too old and frail , he's not accepting school visits anymore.

As I was last out his lovely 16th century house (I remember having to close his door on his cat airlock as he didn't want his cats escaping) , I was the last child to ever visit his house on an educational course.

I also used his toilet.

I must agree that this is not at all shit.
My English teacher was friends with the moon-gazing duffer and gave me his address so that I could write to him.

My precocious questions ("Patrick, I must know the constituent gases of the Horsehead Nebula..") were always replied to. Even when his Mum passed away and it took him 6 months to clear his backlog.

A true gent...you are lucky to have met him.

I'll also add the fact that i used his toilet to make it shit. Happy now?

He gave out the prizes at our school speech day (before both he and I got too old for such pastimes). He was a hoot.

I got all the books he'd written out of the school library and got him to sign them -- what a little git I was.

Good job you're not an ethnic,
he'd never have let you in.
