Just a bit of fun really!
As you know, I used to work in call centres and I have often been asked "Have you every spoken to anyone famous?"
So I decided to give you something to laugh at and tell you of a couple of times I have been starstruck, and invite you to share yours!
The first time I have ever been starstruck was on Paddington Station, I was working at the Information Desk giving out tickets and this particularly rude "gentleman" took offence to me asking him to wait his turn. I was just about to serve two gentlemen in jeans and t-shirts.. he possibly thought his suit made him more important!
He told me basically my only good parts were in my bra, which was also the location of my brain, the shaven headed gentleman in the jeans looked at him and said "Look, pal, I suggest you toddle off pronto before I lose my rag!"
Mr Suit then hurled a few homophobic insults at him, to which Mr Longer Haired demin guy raised an eyebrow and said, and I quote "Look here BUSTER, I'm RIK F***** MAYALL, if she wanted to hear from an a**hole, she'd fart!"
I have never laughed so hard in all my life and Mr Suit ran!
Time 2: I was working in the call centre and I got a call with a voice saying "Please hold for HRH Prince Andrew."
My answer was of course "Oh sod off Greg!" and I put the phone down!
It actually WAS Prince Andrew!!
Time 3: (my personal favourite) I took a call from a lovely Geordie gentleman who said he had lost his phone and could I bar it please. I at once agreed and asked his name.
Mark. Knopler.
I swear to God I nearly fainted with excitement. I talked him through barring the phone, sent a new SIM card and told him how to activate it.. blah blah blah.. then after he put the phone down I screamed "CHLOE CHLOE!! That was MARK KNOPLER!"
Her response?
"Who?"
Your turns!
