For context I’m 22 years old

Currently sat next to Johnny Ball at a Wetherspoons. TV presenter. For those of you of a certain age, how cool/a big deal is this?

....would be cooler.

But he's dead.

In fact that would have made it even cooler.

But yeah, quite cool. Have you thought of a number?

He’s very much alive - are you thinking of Bobby Ball?

Edit - very much misread the post - I’ll keep it up my reply as punishment for not reading things properly.

Any relation to Alan Ball?

Sometimes I think about the frothing lunatics I’ve put on ignore, who will have kept replying to me again and again, but I don’t even realise they exist.

Sadly, I crossed paths professionally with him and he was, how shall I put it? An utter, self-obsessed, privileged a!sehole. Literally said, "Do you know who I am?"

In hindsight, the correct answer was "Not who I thought you were when I was a kid, Johnny."
