Celebs you've met that are smug b*stards

For me its Jim Davidson, Jennifer Saunders, Neil Morrisey and Michelle McManus.

I think we would need more details to determine conclusively whether it was them being bastards/having an off day or you being a twat.

I thought you've always been a fan of Mr Davidson?

Jim Davidson- I met him at the stage door of the Edinburgh Playhouse. There was a disabled man in a wheelchair waiting to meet him also. The man asked for an autograph and was told, in no uncertain terms, ''F**k Off''.

Neil Morrisey- I met him in a pub. I asked for an autograph and he said ''No, they'll all want one!''. Weird considering no one but me bothered to even speak to him.

Jennifer Saunders- Edinburgh Playhouse. Looking at me with a ''I'm so much better than everyone else'' look on her face and looking pissed off when I asked for an autograph. Dawn French was more pleasant than Saunders was.

Michelle McManus- Well, didn't meet as such. Saw her in a supermarket. Queing up to buy something and because the queue ( mostly elderly people ) took its time getting slower, she simply put the item back and stormed off in a huff.

For me, that makes those four arrogant. I may be wrong.

I think he's a brilliant comedian. But I think in real life he's an arsehole. Not just because of the way he was when I met him. But his personal life ( wife beating, homophobia, etc ). I love the guy's work, but I just don't care for the off-screen Davidson.

Jim Davidson is a bit of a c**t though, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he said that to a man in a wheel chair.

I've not really met many celebrities, the only one I've seen on several occasions is John Henshaw (Ken from Early Doors) who lives near me, so I often see him in the pub and he is a really nice man. In early doors, people raise there glasses at him and say 'To the regiment' and he always replies 'I wish I was there'. Whenever I've seen him and I've had a few drinks, I raise my glass to him and say 'To the regiment' and he always replies 'I wish I was there'.

You're right, Jim is a c**t with a capital C. That John Henshaw sounds a nice guy. Wasn't he in an Christmas special of The Royle Family .

To be fair, I react quite badly when people ask me for my autograph.

Can I have your autograph? Laughing out loud

In 2005 met Craig Charles of the popular sitcom Red Dwarf and was not only miffed that he criticised my jacket but particularly irked when he made a jibe about a downs syndrome neice of mine who I had asked him to sign an autograph for.

I hope the rehabilitation centre he went to has sorted him out as he certainly was not the pleasantest of people to be around.

What sort of jibe?

That's terrible. I would have belted him for that.

I was unsure at the time whether I should be sympathetic to his attempts at humour but in retrospect the 'joke' I am sure would not be humourous to people who were into such edgy comedy tastes.

I must admit later I was pretty ashamed of myself for not reprimanding him.

What did he say exactly?

I explained that my niece was a fan of Red Dwarf and that she suffered from downs sydrome. I can't remember exactly what he said but part of his response included 'is that like when you say to a dog down boy! Down boy!'.

That's sick!
