    ...who would it be and why?

    Personally I would LOVE to have a drink with William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy. It would be non alcoholic of course as Nimoy is a recovering alcoholic and Bill Shatner lost a wife to alcoholism/drowning. I've read one of Nimoy's books and Shatners book and they're really interesting people

    Stephen Fry, though I'm guessing the 'drink' would be port or sherry.

    There's plenty of words for it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Dead: Luke Kelly, Ronnie Drew, Liam Clancy. Mainly just to see what they were like in real life; and I love a good few stories.

    Alive: Dylan Moran - purely because he's hilarious

    Did she drown in her drink? :confused:

    Living: Sienna Miller (can't get her out of my head since that perfume ad)

    Dead: Phil Lynott (legend, plus always seemed like he'd of been good craic to go on the p1ss with0

    Fictional: Satan (cause someone should have a pint with the poor bloke. Humanity have been talking crap about him for millenia, dragging his name through the mud. Why? He never did anything lousy to anyone. Look at his supposed crimes.

    1. Tried to over throw God: Well God turned out to be a bit of an asshole, smiting people, destroying cities full of people just cause the people were having sex out of wedlock and the like, asking beardy old guys to burn their kids just to see if they'll do it, like for sh1ts and giggles, all sorts. I reckon Satan had him pegged from the start, what if someone had of overthrown Hitler right at the start, could have prevented a great deal of suffering. At least Beelzebub gave it a shot, despite obvious the risks posed to himself if he failed.

    2. Convincing Eve to eat that fruit: And rightly bloody so, God sticks this tree in the garden of Eden and then says "ahh but don't eat anything from it or you'll die". Satan was right to have a word with her, let her know that this teasing mind game business wasn't on, you have to stand up to bully's from the start otherwise they think they can push you around forever. Plus God was lying, she didn't die, the Devil knew God was making sh1t up.

    3. Got King David to take a census: Big whoop, Satan obviously had a lot more experience running a nation, what with being in charge of Hell and all, he was just offering some tips on civics.

    But despite all the crap he's had to put up with over the years he still takes in the vast majority of mankind, that get stopped by the bouncers of heaven for being raised the wrong religion or riding some bird without being married or listening to rock n roll and asks nothing in return.

    So yeah I'd buy Lucifer a few pints, it's the least I could do, seems to me he's the only that's had humanities back from the get go.

    Stephen Fry

    twinings perchance?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,916 ✭✭✭RonMexico


    Natalie Portman. It would probably turn out to be the equivalent of a dog meeting up with a swan and in the end I'd get a slap.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    Alex Ferguson.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,838 ✭✭✭✭3hn2givr7mx1sc


    PJ Gallagher, or any good comedian. I get giggly when I'm drunk so it'd be hilarious.:D
    Vinnie Jones, I just like the fella.
    Alex Ferguson or any other older generation soccer player/manager that I like because I love reading or hearing stories about old habits in soccer like the drinking, smoking etc.

    I couldn't choose one, tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭Hank_Jones


    Ridley Scott, David Lynch or Susan Sarandon.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 255 ✭✭mollzer


    Stephen Fry and Billy Connolly...........mind you Stephen might not a word in.

    Both have very interesting lives behind them.

    Think he's hilarious :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Bono. The man is a God on a par with me.

    Stephen Fry. I gave up crisps because of some information on heart disease garnered from QI.

    Nina Persson, because she is the hottest chick on the planet (and to show her that I'm not really as scary as she thought I was when we met).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 854 ✭✭✭JangoFett

    She got drunk and fell into a swimming pool and had a serious alcohol problem

    Does it have to be someone still living?

    If not, then tea with Roxelana, Suleiman the Magnificent's lady. She was quite bad-ass and would have some great stories.
