Nasser Hussain told a 9 year old me and a mate to fuck off when we asked him for autographs as he was making his way back to the pavilion after a very short stint.

Also, obviously, Chris Evans a few times but I think I’ve posted about him before.

Oh, Denise Richards.

Denise Roberts? Her from Bond film The World Is Not Enough.

Also kind of a dick but u turned at the end-billy Bragg. At an internship I was given a list of celeb’s phone numbers to cold call about a feature I was writing. One of those was billy bragg. Was majorly pissed off about being called and demanded to know where I’d got his number from. I kind of fluffed my way past that and apologised, explaining what had happened and that I was a hapless intern. He was really nice after that, wished me well with the article and with my career.

Answering ‘Grumpy?’ is only going to make them worse I guess.

I should also add that there would be frequent punchups in the queue for the regular dinosaur hall, and everyone dreaded bank holidays with rainy weather, as every family in SE England would get the same idea. We actually had a radio code for “these people are being arseholes and I don’t want to deal with them any more”.

All the radio codes were Mr or Mrs whatever. Probably should have changed that one to Pegg, but alas on the scale of how big a dick the general public can be, he was low on it.

I couldn’t imagine Nasser doing this?! He seems so mild mannered :worried:

Newcastle player who is a notorious prick. Was going out with my cousin from being signed as a teenager and dumped her once he got too big for his boots. Came to my mam’s birthday barbecue one year and made a big thing about kicking a football about with my then 8 year old brother. Also was on edge because he was convinced his car was gonna get done in.

He’ll be absolutely delighted with that.

Ooo - mine’s a former Newcastle player too.

Started a mid-morning shift at the bookies to see Michael Chopra sprinting between the papers and the counter throwing betting slips and/or rolls of twenties at whoever was in front of him at the time. I know you’re supposed to dislike the problem rather than the person but he was some problem that morning.

Steven Taylor?

That’s going be be banned soon.
