famous person (alive or dead) would you most like to meet & what would you say to them???
Mine would probably be Marilyn Monroe & I would ask her under what circumstances she really did die....
Also one of the Jack the Rippers victims to see who he was.... :confused:
Jaine :twisted:
I'll name just two:
Muhammed Ali: he was a great figure - a 20th century superman. A superior athlete, witty, physically and morally courageous - and he was funny. I'd just have a chat to get to know him and understand him more
John Lennon: I'd like to have seen him at work in a studio and try to find out who he was at the core
My Big G is famous in many circles, some of which we wont mention here *grin* I'd tell him that I love him.
If I had to chose someone else, it would be one of Canada's previous Prime Ministers, Pierre Trudeau. Not only was he a legacy of justice and equality, but he also told another MP, in the House of Common's to Fuck Off. I love it! I would love to ask him what it felt like, casting all cares aside and saying what you actually feel, no matter who is watching!
On a lighter note, Jason Stathom, but I'd want Big G to introduce us!

Ghandi would be one of my meets...
He was such a gentle man who came over such hardship and humility with a humble message and gentle way...
I would also like to meet Heili Selassi ( if it is spelt wrong sorry ), because he is such an icon to rastafarians, and is treated as such. To see what inspired him to give so much...
Abraham Lincoln...again for his deliberations and views....
and a few others...
I'd like to meet Alexander Graham Bell, show him my Nokia and say "Hey Ali, you'll never believe what this is. Go on mate have a guess. Here's a clue: You invented it!"
The same goes for people like James Watt, Verner Von Braun, Thomas Edison, Charles Babbage, Frank Whittle.. what would the innovators of the past think of how their inventions have developed? I think mostly they'd probably have a fit!

Jesus - Ask him what he though of his autobiographies., and if it has all turned out as he expected.
My choice with no shadow of a doubt would be Oscar Wilde. If there was ever a man who was born a Century too early, he is it! He was considered a pervert in his day, but he'd fit in rather well on this forum, don't you think? if Oscar was alive today I would try (and fail) to keep up with his wit on the forum, and I'd ask him to go dogging with me too :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Would have loved this to have been a dinner party thread of who you would invite to join you as so many I would love to talk to....
Real icon when I was young was Greta Garbo. I read all her boigraphies and loved her filme and always tried to practice her look. She epitomised true beauty but was also very private in her life, intelligent and worshiped without wanting any attention. I would have wanted to have her inspire me with the confidence of seeking inner beauty. Gosh my hangover is really kicking in now......
My all time hero...Mohammed Ali.
I would have walked to Louisville to meet him. The aura of greatness is often wrongly attributed to sportsmen: not in this case.
Also, Oliver Cromwell. He influenced so much, has been so unfairly villified, was heroic, cruel and inspired in equal doses, MUST have been am awesome individual, and how many farmers get to kill a king?
If I can have one more..please??...Nelson Mandela. I watched his walk to freedom on TV: I can remember leaving my dinner, kneeling in front of the TV and realising, for the first time in my life, that I was gazing at a man of true greatness. I won't forget that moment.
Gotta agree with jags with the Hitler one - my hobby too....WW2
If the journos are still reading here they're probably trying to figure out what sexual deviancy weimar germany is as we speak
Dinner with Martin Luther King and Oswald Mosely. The man needed educating
The author Frederick Forsyth to find the truth about was he involved in the financing of an attempted coup in Africa.
Also the last four Tudor monarchs,Henry,Edward,Mary and Elizabeth to see what it like when church split and if the persecution that occured was as really bad ad we are lead to a fasinating period of English history.
