I was very upset confused & amused to find that Noel Clarke has blocked me on Twitter.

I've never even interacted with the bloke & I really like him as an actor & the films & tv shows he's in. No fucking idea how I've come to be blocked 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Have you ever upset a celebrity? Did you knick Baby Spice's parking space? Did you spill a drink on Keith Chegwin?

*DingleberryRose

I’ve been blocked on Twitter by Donald Trump. I won’t say what for as its outing!*

Is that you Janey?

Not me personally but my uncle ran over Adam Ant’s foot with his motorcycle.
Pretty sure that would’ve pissed him off

Richard Bacon was a rude, bullying cunt on my customer services line. Threatened to expose the company (as if I gave a shit) and me in particular for having the audacity to work there in a minimum wage job, on big breakfast. Our marketing team rang the channel 4 advertising line and they got him to piss off eventually.

I once told Russell Howard to get "the fuck over yourself" at a wedding when he complained that he couldn't have his meal in a different area of the reception venue as "people might stare at me eating". He was a bit sulky for the rest of the day.

@Twernip

Karl Beattie (of Most Haunted fame) was rude to me on Facebook, when I defended teachers. He was ranting about the usual- they work until 3pm only, they get too many holidays, how DARE they want to strike for better pay etc. I merely pointed out the facts as I saw them, as I work in a school but not as a teacher. So he berated me, then blocked me. Arse.

Totally galling. I work in a school and I wouldn't be a teacher for triple my salary. They are so hardworking and really make a difference in the lives of their students.

Karl Beattie and his wife, on the other hand, are lying charlatans who make their money out of being completely (yet obviously) dishonest.

Mine is appalling. About 20 years ago, before any of the horrible stuff about John Lesley broke, I was in a nightclub that could be described as a bit of a dive. I am very short, I barely trouble 5ft on any measuring device. I was also var var drunk.
John Lesley has a brother, Grant Stott and both of them are very, very tall.
I passed one of them on the dance floor but given the great vertical distance between my eye level and my face I couldn't work out which one it was. I then grabbed the front of his t-shirt to pull him down to where I could see him better. Then I proceeded to squint at his face in an almost nose to nose pose. After about 5 minutes of silently scrutinizing him I still couldn't work out which one he was so I released him back on the wilds of the dance floor and tottered off on my merry way. I think he might have been talking to me but it was loud and I was concentrating on working out who he was.
He might have been delighted to be accosted by a wee, drunk weirdo but I don't imagine he was Grin

I hear you; I also wouldn't want to be a teacher, bless them!

One thing that stuck out during my particular exchange was when one of Mr. B.'s sycophants tried to semi-defend me. He explained that he barely saw his wife, as she was a teacher, and that I was correct regarding how hard they work- and Mr. B. told him that she was obviously doing it wrong!!!!!

Ugh!

An Olympic athlete was very upset with me because he had been seeing my boss who had dumped him and she made me tell him to go away. I was only 16 and volunteering and he made me cry. So the other manager came over and told him he better show off his running ability because he was going to throw him in the pool. This was just before he started winning medals.

On reflection I think he was just gutted and considering she had dumped him via a phone call I can see why he was upset. No excuse for being horrid to a 16 year old though

BarbedBloom · 11/03/2020 12:53

I had to google his surname. It was Jamie Balsch.

Oh and just remembered that I upset a Man u player years ago when I was 18 as he was trying to chat me up but I wasn't interested. I was drunk and he kept banging on about his job in football which bored me as I hate it. He then told me his name and looked at me expectantly and I shrugged and said I was going back to my friends. Had no idea who he was but my friends all knew him. Still don't know who he was. Will have to message said friends and ask if they remember his name. I do remember my brother was mortified as he loved him.Grin

I told Paul Scholes off for being unable to spell
To be fair he very meekly said “ sorry” and corrected it.
Robbie Fowler and co were taking the piss out if him as I walked away

Told him off? Why would you do that? He's lovely.

Hoppinggreen · 11/03/2020 13:21

I was young and drunk in my defence but I agree it was a twatty thing to do as he was really nice and was giving me an autograph for my friend.
Sorry Paul Scholes if you are reading this!

@trappedsincesundaymorn

I spat out my tea

Fucking funny!

Fuss · 11/03/2020 13:29

DH had a right good twitter spat with Alan whatshisface tramp ear biter bloke.
It was over football, and when he realised he was losing the argument he blocked DH.
If The Dog Rescuers comes on TV all you'll hear from DH's sofa is 'twat'.

Many moons ago, I once worked on reception in a fairly posh hotel in the north west. One day, a man wearing a long trench coat and flat cap (pulled down quite far) was checking in, and as it was hotel policy to take a credit card swipe before handing out any room keys I asked him for his credit card... Well this man refused to give me a credit card, and was adamant that I didn't need one, but I was adamant that I did. We argued for a few minutes until the General Manager came over, spoke to the man and gave him his room key without question Confused

Turns out it was bloody JIMMY TARBUCK!!! He had checked in under a false name and was incognito (and I was only about 18 at the time so vaguley knew who he was) Grin

unchienandalusia · 11/03/2020 13:35

Far too many to mention and would be extremely outing as I've been dining out on those stories for years.

Elderflower14 · 11/03/2020 13:40

Just remembered another one. My sisters best friend came to stay for the weekend at our farm with Keith Floyd who she was dating... KF asked my sister for a mallet to shut me up as he thought I was being too noisy!!! BlushBlushBlush

Hoggleludo · 11/03/2020 13:40

@stouffer

I used to work pride. We often would have to walk around the event with the guy whose idea it was. He refused to have an AAA card. So we'd get refused entry to all the backstage areas.

He was such a nice guy though. Never took offence.

Bella2020 · 11/03/2020 13:43

I've been blocked on Twitter by Ian Blackford MP, leader of the Scottish Nasty Party in Westminster. He doesn't like having his lies pointed out, I guess.

MyNameIsArthur · 11/03/2020 13:46

I was doing security work at a tv studio in the 1990s and the main presenter walked in and went straight past the security desk. I didn't know who he was at that point and he didn't have a pass so I stopped him and wouldn't allow him to go any further. He got very stroppy saying I should know who he was and demanded to be let in. I stood my ground and said he couldn't . He was shouting at me and very angry. I finally let him in when someone came and confirmed who he was. He did later apologise and we gradually became quite matey

bulletjournalbilly · 11/03/2020 13:52

Yep Hugh Grant on a flight. He's an absolute cunt thou so I don't care.
