    Martin Ferris would have experience with plenty of types of bomb

    Donald Trump - don't tell me that it wouldn't be good craic.

    Hardly good craic considering he is a personality vacuum and he doesn't drink alcohol!

    justin treaudeau , so i could tip a pint over him

    Mary Lou, I'd get us pissed and try and get her to admit that she knows it's populist muck she's peddling. I wouldn't tell anyone or try and out her or anything, I'd be content with the honesty.

    First they came for the socialists...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,639 ✭✭✭andekwarhola


    You can despise the Healy Raes and their malign parish pump influence on national politics with every bone of your metropolitan body but you'd probably love a sesh with them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    Abraham Lincoln would be great craic.
    Someone challenged him to a duel once and asked him what weapons he wanted to use. 'Cowpats' was his answer :pac:

    Maybe but I’d say you’d need a full wallet. They’d bring you to the pub they own and you just know they aren’t getting a round in.

    They’d probably give you a lift home afterwards though.

    I'd have a spliff with Ming Flanagan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,224 ✭✭✭DellyBelly


    Go to a reggae club with Eamon Ryan...can you imagine the welcome he would get there...NOT

    Bring a jack in the box so he can have a pint with himself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,794 ✭✭✭Aongus Von Bismarck


    Obviously he's dead, but I would love to have shared a bottle of Riesling with Otto von Bismarck, and picked his brains on his approach to diplomacy and realpolitik.

    Putin and I are both Judo black belts, so I'd like a training session with him then go for a skinfull of vodka. He's a mad bastard so we'd probably end up knocking lumps out of each other again on Red Square, then in the morning we'd go bear fighting :)

    I can't think of a single Irish politician I'd fancy going for a gargle with, although a total muppet in government but I think Simon Harris comes across as a nice person but probably not a gargler.

    Oh on the contrary. I think if you went out with the HRs they would not let you put your hand in your pocket all night.
    These rural politicians would know onlt too well that sustained rumours of stinginess or skipping out on rounds could be career suicide.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,192 ✭✭✭chrissb8


    Barack Obama, get him pissed and let him go off on Trump for a few hours.

    Trump obviously

    As long as they are the only ones paying I'll go on the beer with anyone of them

    Make America Get Out of Here



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,218 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    Any of them really apart from the likes of Paul Murphy. They’d expect me to pay for everything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,891 ✭✭✭Bullocks


    Pearse Doherty. Supposed to be great craic to have pints with

    Trudeau and Varadkar would be bores of the highest order I imagine. They wouldn't let themselves have the craic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,114 ✭✭✭PhilOssophy


    I can't imagine anything worse than pints with Pearse Doherty. His voice is annoying enough on the radio without voluntarily listening to him in a pub!

    Cynical bastard.

    Introduced the old age pension to pre-empt riots. But then set the threshold age above life expectancy to keep costs down.

    Charles-Maurice "Regimes may fall and fail, but I do not." de Talleyrand-Périgord would be another slippery customer who lived to a ripe old age.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,589 ✭✭✭touts


    Putin. He doesn't say much in public but I'd suspect you get the guy talking and he would be fascinating.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,977 ✭✭✭mikemac2


    Pat Rabbitte

    Any man that size can definitely put away the pints. It would be a long crazy session


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 58 ✭✭PonchoMcHoncho


    Gerry Adams. 6am hammered drunk and off his head on coke back at Dessie Ellis's place "IN THE IRA?? I ****IN RAN THE IRA!"

    He fairly puts away the diet coke though.
