People you'd most like to meet

[AndySpeed]

Who who would you most like to meet, face-to-face, for a conversation? Pick anyone, dead or alive, who has inspirted you or you would like to quiz.

Personally i'd like to meet:

Bob Marley
The man was a legend, and I'm sure that he would have been a great guy to speak to and learn from. His music is still so strong, even today.

George Bush
Because I'd like to ask him some very taxing questions concerning the Iraq war, America and the world.

Jeremy Clarkson
Because I'm curious to know how he'd mock me :dozey:

Jessica Alba
Deja-vu! Seriously, given the chance I would'nt pass on it, although this thread is supposed to more general than my other one

;)

[BeansBeansBeans]

Morrissey
Russell Brand
James May
Noel Gallagher
Will Self
Stephen Fry

[Hazell B]

Everyone's going to say him, so I'll start the ball rolling.
Stephen Fry.

Schmenke, but don't tell him ;)
George Clooney (sp?) No idea why, as I don't find him attractive or anything, but I'd like to have a beer with the guy.
Simon Cowell. Throw in Anne Robinson and I'll take the pair of them on, so long as Gordon Ramsey waits his turn. My partner thinks they should all ask me to write their put downs. :D

[grassrootsracer]

A few people on this forum

[CarlMetro]

Billy Connelly & Spike Milligan - Both at the same time, although I fear I'd need an ambulance with oxygen supply after about ten minutes.

Barry Sheen - Was the reason I started riding bikes and was my hero as a schoolboy.

Thomas Chippendale - His mastery of the art of furniture design, whilst maintaining functionality in my opinion will never be surpassed. The sometimes ornate, yet simplistic design of some of his works is beyond compare and I'd like to have a chat with him.

Adolf Hitler - Strange but true. I'd like to try and understand what made him tick.

Clint Eastwood - It would make my day :D

[TexasRaceLady]

Peter the Great --- Russian czar who founded St. Petersburg
Elizabeth --- the Tudor queen who ruled from 1558 to 1601
Alexander the Great
Thomas Jefferson
Benjamin Franklin
Alice Roosevelt Longworth

[Daniel]

Barry Sheen - Was the reason I started riding bikes and was my hero as a schoolboy.

I once basked in Barry's glow for but a mere few minutes :) With his passing I felt priveliged to have done so even though I never said a word or asked a deep and meeningful question. He was just a nice guy :)

[GordonGuru24]

I would most like to meet and quiz:

Dr.Phil:

Most popular TV Hosts who help people with problems of all sort and send them for treatment or help them in need.

Jeff Gordon:

Most Famous Racecar and 80 Milllion in earnings, and is very inspirational and involved in quite a few Charities and Foundations.

I'd like to add another to my list:

[slinkster]

Jeff Buckley

jeremy clackson as he can make me laugh
Richard hammond just because he is the hamster lol
matt neal because he is the champion of the touring cars
tom chilton because he has driven along with the best team in 2003

[Knock-on]

Colin Chapman just to ask him a few bits of advice on setting up my car and why on Gods Earth he put one of the Chassis struts soooo close to the Steering universal joint. Do you know how much time and how many bits of skin I've lost off my knuckles?

I've had the ultimate pleasure of meeting the great Mr Walker but was so overcome with awe at the presence of the great man that I cornered him in the pit, babbled incoherently and thrust a race ticket under his nose to sign. I would love to have a proper chat with him one day.

I wouldn't mind meeting Elvis as I think there's nobody that knows more about Burgers. Could be useful.

And of course, I would love to meet Stellios or whatever his name is. Have I ever told you about CheesyJet!!! I'll rip him a second a-hole. :D

[schmenke]

The bloke who invented toilet paper :up: . I'd really like to shake his hand... umm... :erm:

Couldn't resist it :D


Joseph Gayetty invented toilet paper in 1857. His new toilet paper was composed of flat sheets. Before Gayetty's invention, people tore pages out of mail order catalogs - before catalogs were common, leaves were used. Unfortunately, Gayetty's invention failed. Walter Alcock (of Great Britain) later developed toilet paper on a roll ( instead of in flat sheets). Again, the invention failed.
In 1867, Thomas, Edward and Clarence Scott (brothers from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) were successful at marketing toilet paper that consisted of a small roll of perforated paper . They sold their new toilet paper from a push cart - this was the beginning of the Scott Paper Company.

I'd like to meet that idiot who scrunches :s

I'd like to meet that idiot who scrunches :s

I think that it's the fairer sex who scrunch while us single taskers are more logical when it comes to toilet origami ;)

[schmenke]

Couldn't resist it :D

Well, there's a business idea that went down the toilet...

[MrJan]

Would definately like to meet Scarlet Johansson :cheese: Also Michael Park (the kind of guy you could imagine will be so easy to get on with if you just went down the pub with him), Al Pacino, Stevie Ray Vaughn (as long as he had a guitar with him), Alan Davies, the bloke who presented the Accidental Angler which has been on BBC2 in the past few weeks (anyone who has that much of a love for a hobby without being boring is worth talking to) and also Jesus (to find out if he exsists, if he was 'magic' and to absolutely slate him for having so many people blindly worshipping him on the basis of an old book which has been translated more times than swear words in Babel Fish)

[martinbalmer]

They sold their new toilet paper from a push cart - this was the beginning of the Scott Paper Company.

And from then on I bet they were a flush with money...

[FrankenSchwinn]

Scarlett Johansson,


man, you'll have to fight me for this shallowness!

[LeonBrooke]

I've met her. :D

Is Susie's accent really as strong as it sounds on TV? Does anyone know who Janet Fielding is? Her accent isn't as strong as it sounds on TV (I've met her).

[Iain]

It's not a strong accent really. It's a really soft, pleasant West coast accent. :)

[LeonBrooke]

It's not a strong accent really. It's a really soft, pleasant West coast accent. :)

Definitely a pleasant accent, that's beyond question. But the strength is debatable and... subjective... I think it's medium-strong.

[Iain]

I suppose it's strong to a non-Scot. :)

[Erki]

Examples? :D

[Hayden Fan]

Scarlett Johansson,


For obvious reasons


Not shallow, just common for us men.

[The Kitten Kat]

In all honesty there are a number of famous people that I would love to meet, both dead and alive. However there are people far closer to me who I would cherish meeting with so dearly.

Firstly I would want to meet my Nan, who died when I was 10. She had been ill for years but in her healthy days was fountain of all knowledge and advice - and I could do with those aspects of her personality right at this moment.

Secondly would be a dear friend of mine, Kerry, who died seven years ago - for unrelenting support, advice and just to be there. We were soul mates and part of me has never recovered, even though I know she is still with me in spirit.

Thirdly would be another dear friend and ex of mine, Neil, who died when I was 17 and he was 21. You were a rock m'dear and still missed by us all (and all of the teenage girls at the swimming pool who were just dying to be saved by the hunky lifeguard!) dearly. What I wouldn't give for a couple of hours back so that we could finish sorting out all of the loose ends that were left. I am just glad that we got a couple of hours to talk things through the week before you left us.

[LeonBrooke]

I suppose it's strong to a non-Scot. :)

I bet that to a non-New Zealander my accent is strong... but they'd be wrong ;)

[Ian McC]

I would like to put Jesus and Hitler in the same room, that should be interesting.

[FrankenSchwinn]

Salma Hayek and i in the same room

[LeonBrooke]

Salma Hayek and i in the same room

This would be an epic battle...? ;)
