You clearly don't get the hypocrisy of people claiming to espouse a political view that wants equal wealth distribution and yet actually revels in the opposite.
As for your Tory sex offender analogy - desperate terms call for desperate measures I suppose.
Socialists don't argue for equal wealth distribution - communists do.. Not all socialists are communists
Met the lovely Kelsey-Beth Crossley (Scarlett from Emmerdale and the Voice) after a show in Lytham last night. She was very sweet, friendly and gorgeous and after hearing her performing live realise just how much of a disservice the battle rounds on The Voice actually did her. She really is that tall too...
I just want to put in a good word for Steve Coogan. I met him last week, and he was so nice and friendly I was slightly take - aback!
Top bloke who always has time for others.
Sir Roger Moore is a totally nice guy, very chatty, met him a few times and he does not mind people calling him roger without the title.
Audrey Hepburn was amazing to meet, very demure, pleasant and dare I say it still very pretty when I met her a year before she passed. Apart from family she is the only icon whose death I found really upsetting. I'll feel the same way when Sir Roger goes and I hope that's not for a very long time.
I met Rob Newman on the 13th, he was a lovely bloke very approachable and had chat and a photo. Shame his stand up was shit!
Met John Bishop on Sunday night before his gig, he was late but still stopped to sign things. Another guy was there and told him he'd been there since 4 to which Bishop replied "what the **** have you been stood there since 4 for?" with a massive grin on his face!
And I've just met Jimmy Carr about an hour ago after his gig, always thought he was an arsehole on the telly but he was lovely after his gig, didn't do photos but signed things and he complimented me on my dress sense, top top man!
Meeting John Lydon, Omid Djalilli, Frank Skinner, Ruby Wax, Justin Moorhouse, Al Murray , Michael Barrymore and Kevin Bridges in the future has anyone got any stories about any of these?
You sometimes see Prince Naseem the ex boxer around meadowhall in Sheffield, surprisingly he is always gracious and will always chat and sign stuff.
Jessica Ennis, complete bitch, until a film crew is around, then she likes signing autographs
My mate has seen her & partner in a country pub having lunch, he said she was lovely. No cameras around either...though he did say, you could see her partner was starting to get slightly annoyed by it all.

Frank Skinner is lovely, really down to earth & funny. Omid Djalili is the opposite, horrible and rude - refused to sign something for some children at a charity event.
About 25 years ago my daughter met Paul Daniels and Dennis Waterman after her husband had filmed an episode of Blankety Blank. Both she said were rude and not nice despite being at the bar for drinks after filming. On the other hand Clare Rayner and Lyndsey DePaul were both lovely people with absolutely no airs and graces at all.
My granddaughter has been a Big Brother fan for years and has met many of the contestants. All of whom have been happy to chat and have pictures taken.

I've met Omid Djalili several times and he has always been very nice and approachable.Al Murray was really laid back and we chatted for ages...really nice guy. I met Frank Skinner years ago and he seemed really friendly . I only met John Lydon once , years ago at a Sex Pistols gig......didn't know how to take him , but think he was putting on a bit of an act. He seemed ok though , but was a lot taller than I'd imagined him to be.
Shame. I liked some stuff of his that I saw on the telly.
He was at The Stand in Edinburgh during the festival when we there about 4 years ago watching Kevin Eldon. He has got THE loudest and most annoying laugh - but seemed very affable and laid back.

If someone is having dinner or with family they may not like to be disturbed, or perhaps get a bit fed up with people interrupting them.
When I met Kelsey-Beth Crossley the other week, I'd already tweeted her and asked if I could have some photos after the show and she was more than happy for that. She was so friendly and chatty, as someone else who had met her had said, so it really was a pleasure to meet her - she thanked me for coming, appreciated me coming to see her and we chatted about The Voice and her being in pantomime. I got a couple of lovely photographs with her too - even met her mum and dad!
I also saw Charlotte Hawkins outside the ITV studios the other day, wouldn't say I met her as she was getting into her car, but considering she was surrounded by photographers she appeared to be very bright, chatty and very friendly and quite happy to pose for photos. One thing that did strike me was she seemed to be quite tall, even though she was wearing heels - only something I noticed in the photos of her standing next to Susanna that I noticed it more... funny how you suddenly notice these things
I think the line should be drawn at interrupting a famous person enjoying their meal/family time for a photo or autograph. That to me is the height of ignorance and arrogance. If you feel you have an overwhelming sense of entitlement with regards to invading their private space at such a time then you deserve to be told to p*ss off. I cannot believe people do things like that - it is like 'you're famous so you owe it to me to be in my selfie or sign my scrap of paper'. Like....get a life >:(

BIB. I met her through work and I completely agree. A very warm, down to earth and friendly woman. She started her working life as a nurse and it certainly showed in her demeanour.

Agree. My sister and her husband are very good friends with a very well known actor who shall remain nameless. They met for lunch once, and the number of people who came up to their table asking for a autograph was unbelievable. He took it all in good grace though.

Ah, but they're not celebrities though are they? ;-)
A friend of mine used to work as a receptionist for ITV and obviously has met a lot of celebs. Most of them have been completely normal folk - a handful of them have treated her like a piece of poop, but one stood out as being lovely...
She was on a break one day and was walking down one of the many long, long corridors. There was a man behind her and every door she went through, she held it open for him. He said thank you each time and then they started giggling because it became so repetitive and awkward. As the corridor was quite long, they got chit chatting and having a laugh and a joke. Although he was very famous, he was down to earth and lovely. He asked about her job and if she liked it etc. She made a comment about being "only a receptionist" but he stopped her and told her that no job is lesser than another - if you do a job well, you will succeed and be happy in life.
As they parted ways, the man said to my friend that it was a pleasure meeting her. She blushed a little bit and they said goodbye.
Ever since that day (until the time she left), this guy would say hello to her by name (she was sat on reception) and at Christmas, he always included a card for her.

Who used to be... a receptionist for a record company.
Good on him.
I stumbled on this site/thread looking for stories about Brian Clough and thought I'd post this.
Way back in 1995, I met a girl who said she had a date with a guy, who had been a big soap star in the eighties. No real names, to protect the innocent, but he played a Jack the lad type, TV hard man on a popular evening show based in Granadaland. Said girl and I, had a fling lasting a few months which ended in a mature and amicable manner and we remained good friends. Anyway, on a rainy November evening a few weeks after we split, the phone rang. Here is how the conversation went:
Me: Hello
Jack the lad type: Is this Jordan?
Me: Yes
Jack: It's Jack
Me: Who?
Jack: Jack the lad
Me: errr.......(trying to recall who he was) Right...OK....
Long dramatic silence.
Jack: I believe we have a mutual friend.
Me: That's nice mate. Is there anything else?
The wannabe gangster, knit wit, then started rambling on about wishing a friend of an acquaintance a happy Christmas on his behalf. I just laughed and said that I had never met the person and had no plans to do so. Finished by saying 'This ain't normal mate!' and hanging up. That's when the calls from the taxi firms confirming my non-existent bookings started.
I think he had hoped that I would go off on one, or panic about how he got my number because I wasn't in the directory and only recently had the phone installed. It was obvious that he had hooked up with my ex and lifted it from her address book. Called her months later to see how she was, he answered, shouted "it's that ****ing Jordan!" and threw the receiver across the room. Total twunt, would not even take the time to stamp his face out, if it was on fire.

I would. There have been quite a few posts here about nice he is but I think I know why you would find it surprising.
