    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!

    Just so I could interrupt him and say, "would you ever shut up"

    I’m not sure but if I’m going to be converted it may as well be by him.

    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!

    If he saw your thread title he would flat out refuse and possibly even petition for your execution.

    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

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1dgrvlWML4



    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.
