A few pints with anyone

keefg

If you could spend an evening in your local having a few pints & a chat with anyone from history who would you pick? And why?

Would it be Adolph Hitler? Just to ask "Why"?

Would it be someone less famous? Maybe a relative who has passed away?

It can be anyone you like.

For me, it would probably be someone like Peter Ustinov, a great actor with loads of interesting anecdotes about the entertainment industry. But that's just off the top of my head, I might pick someone else later.


Over to you....

*taps foot*

....

Hmmm. Still no "yore ma!"? We're slipping, people.




Jesus. Reasoning: to get the thoughts direct (Albeit, with a bit of drink...mmm) + failing that, twice the pints \o/

Holsten

Jesus.

I'm sure he'd be a right laugh.

No, he existed, there is historical records.
It's whether or not he was able to raise the dead is whats at issue:)

Michael Collins - for the politics discussion
Oscar Wilde - for the wit and cheeky comments
Marie Curie - only person to win two Nobel Prizes in different science fields

It'd have to be a decent group of people....maybe 4 or 5 heads.

I'd go for...

Zapp Brannigan (to charm the ladies)
Gordon Ramsey (for the grub afterwards)
Bill Hicks (for the comic insightfulness)
Bill Gates (so you wouldn''t have to put your hand in your pocket)
and then both Roy Keane & Mick McCarthy (just to watch the sparks fly).


If i was limited to one, it's have to be Hicks.

Terry

Bono.

Assuming my suggestion a few posts above will prove impossible, I guess maybe Brian O'Driscoll, George Best, Keith Richards or Ozzy Osbourne.

WindSock

Maddie McCann

Billy Conolly would be a good laugh.

Ruu_Old

John Candy, seemed like a jolly nice chap.

ojewriej

Michael Palin - loads to ask about Pythons, and when this dries up we could talk about his travels.

Leonardo Da Vinci, true reneissance man, would love to pick his brain.

leninbenjamin

Mozart. i want to know how that damn requiem is supposed to sound.

A-Trak

Ollie Reid & Richard Harris.

I'd imagine that it would be a quiet porter or two.

humanji

Richard Harris would be my one too. It would be a hell of a night!

SligoBrewer

Bruce Springsteen - I'm sure he has a good story
Alex Kapranos - Look up to him a lot..

eeeeeeeeh...

Einstein.

MagicMarker

Those dogs that play pool.

Jamey

Paul Cunniffe (see sig).

Senna

Oliver Reed - It would be the night to end all nights.

Hitler didn't drink, but that aside, I'd ask why...

1. Why he didn't keep going to the coast, and let the Brits escape from Dunkirk ??

2. Why he didn't completely take out the Radar stations during the early stages of the Battle of Britain ??

3. Why he didn't approve full development Jet Engines earlier in the war, as the technology existed ??

4. Why he didn't allow the Ukraine some Independence when there were 2 divions of vollunteers from the Ukraine serving in the Waffen SS, who were willing to fight Stalin ??

5. Why he didn't let his troops break out of Stalingrad, because they could have done so, and lived to fight another day ??

6. Why didn't he suspect the Allies had broken the Enigma Code ??

7. Was the Dublin North Strand Bombing in 1941 Deliberate, or an Accident.

and finally

8. What the f*uck did he think he was doing, making his underage niece poo all over his head ????

just out of curiousity...........

Jaysus, marcsignal, it's supposed to be a few pints, not an interrogation. I'd just make Hitler drink Guinness to see what his 'tache would look like covered in the head of the pint.

Also Monroe for me, what a beauty.

Michael Collins (the real one, the guy who may or may not have flown to the moon, as opposed to the cork langer from the 20's).

marcsignal

Well, tbh I already knew the answers to No's. 1 to 7,

It was No. 8 I was really curious about

His moustache would look funny smeared in Guinness head tho, it'd also probably cover up his notorious foaming at the mouth during his reply under duress

'Ol Jack Chance

George Dubya - just to see if he really is as dumb as people make out

Shane McGowan - do ya have to ask

David Bowie - he could put ya in a song!

Would love a good session with Billy Connolly!

Prophet Mohammed.

It works out a cheap drunken night for me if you are buying rounds.

you should never meet your heroes Ol Jack Chance, i've had the pleasure, and he bored the f*ckin arse off me. He's a sad stupid c*nt.

Dave147

Bob Marley, always been a huge fan. Dave Gahan to ask him about his inspiration for 'Enjoy the Silence'. Samuel L. Jackson - need I say why.

shane86

Think Samuel L is a recovering alco (well, ex cocaine addict, Id presume he stays away from anything potentially self destructive these days)

As for me

Dead: Harris, George Best and the legendary Oliver Reed

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Reed

Reed and 36 friends drinking, in an evening, 60 gallons of beer, 32 bottles of Scotch, 17 bottles of gin, four crates of wine and one bottle of Babycham......He was forced to leave the set of the Channel 4 television discussion programme After Dark after arriving drunk and attempting to kiss feminist writer Kate Millett. He was drunk on the chat show Aspel and Company, and on another occasion removed his trousers during an interview.....He had reportedly drunk three bottles of Captain Morgan's rum, eight bottles of beer and numerous doubles of Famous Grouse whisky. He also beat five much younger Royal Navy sailors at arm wrestling at a bar called "The Pub."

LEGEND

Of those still alive/technically dead but still moving:

Shaun Ryder. Nutbar
The Gallagher brothers
Robbie Williams (to see how it would kick off with the Gallaghers)
Colin Farrell (if we can get him back on the drink)
Snoop Dogg. Though Im not sure if hes a pints man. And he would be like that one friend who causes the group to split by dragging people to the smoking area 4 times an hour
George Bush when he drank. Id say he was the rowdy prick who got thrown out of everywhere he went by 1:30

I dunno, if it's a prophet you're after I'd say Jesus would be the way to go. Water into wine would make for a cheap night and then his gift for healing could be very handy the next day, as opposed to a teetotaling kiddyfiddler that spent half his life in a cave.

Jesus is such a nice guy, he would turn the beer back to water for K
