    Ok.... so where do i start!


    I would love to being able to have a non interview type conversion with George Micheal. He has always been a huge musical favorite of mine which started with my father! Me da has been a truck driver for a long time now and as a kid i grew up around all kinds music but a lot of it was in the cab next to him. My father was always a big fan of his among others but there's something about that man that is so interesting and deep.


    There are plenty of others for different reasons but he was first to come to mind!

    I have this picture/painting/printout in my house. I know there's loads of different versions and scenarios of the four but I was joking saying 'well Elvis is looking at Marilyn, Hunfrey Bogart is slyly looking at James Dean from over his paper and James Dean doesn't know where to look :p whatever that's saying!

    Only Newton or Einstein could work out how they got her in to those trousers at the end !

    Thats something i admired about him was how he dealt with that whole ''situation''

    and its a crackin tune as well...

    its something ive thought about, if i could go back and talk to some physicist, einstein or newton or whoever, and give them my laymans understanding of physics as we understand it now, kind of nudge them in the right direction...

    but after watching a few clips on youtube recently, i'd have to say Richard Feynmann, i reckon hed be able to explain more things to me than I'd ever dream of


    here he is on discovering the rules of physics




    he has another one on magnets here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO0r930Sn_8 which is better...

    a friend and i had a drink with shane mcgowen in a private club and his then girlfriend/helper maybe 7 or 8 years ago. well, "conversation" is too strong a word. Shane mumbled incoherently and laughed toothlessly at his own wit while the rest of us sat there bemused.

    Judging by one the first posts in the thread and this I obviously make a mistake with the thread title....

    No idea what it was though ha.

    You could have met george if you hung around the bushes in Hampstead Heath while he was alive. Im sure he'd have given you a mouthful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,314 ✭✭✭✭branie2


    Michael Collins. We'd talk about what he did for Ireland.

    And why he didn’t stay in cover like the rest of them at the ambush ?


  • Posts: 5,311 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    A drink with Robert Mitchum. Believe he was quite the raconteur.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,314 ✭✭✭✭branie2


    He wanted to fight the ambushers

    I take back the ones I said before.

    I'm changing mine to Iggy Pop and David Bowie but mostly Iggy Pop.

    Sad to say Morrissey is full of sh1t. A Brexit cheerleading muppet.

    Michael Parkinson would disagree with you on that

    I wouldn't talk to him about politics I'd be much more interested in his private life and how he feels about certain aspects of his career.

    He doesn't do many interviews but any I have seen I always taught he came across as someone who is hiding so much from the world.

    Sir David Niven was supposed to be an absolute gent and very engaging. Also Sir Peter Eustinov was an amazing raconteur.

    Oliver Reed, so we can talk about his legendary drinking escapades over a pint of or two.

    Oh dear. I'm afraid you made one of the most annoying grammatical errors ever. It's "could have" or "could've" if you want to contract the two words. "Could of" is never okay.

    Ya I didn't even notice my grammar and spelling is ****e in general haha I don't pretend otherwise plus in my defence I was up drinking tequila last night when made the thread haha!

    And if he didn't have time for a mouthful perhaps just a careless whisper
