From the past - Jesus. And from the future - super cyborg Jesus and I'd have the two of them fight it out.

Myself from maybe 3 weeks ago. I'd tell Jeremiah the euromillions results. It would effect the space time continuem, but who cares? I'd be rich and vulgar but once I've had my fun, that's all that matters.

Present...man of the moment, Barack Obama.

Wouldn't mind going for a pint or three with Stephen Fry and Oscar Wilde.
Should be fun*

(*strictly platonic, of course)

I'd love to meet my dad again for an aul' chinwag (he died 20 years ago this year in Aug). I'd also love to meet aka get my paws into Michael Hutchence for an hour or two

Living - Thom Yorke - without a doubt. I could sit and chat to him for days, so, so many questions.

MonicaBing · 14-02-2009 01:47PM

Your all thinking very small.

If I could have have dinner with a historical figure, and someone from the present. It would have to be Richard Dawkins and Jesus

Christopher Hitchen could join us late in the evening to rate Jesus wine, and Budda could try and rob our bread rolls

I think youd be better off with Cahill. McQueen would tap off with scarlett, cate, claire, lucy, penelope, mary kate and ashley, rosario or blathnaid et al. Making a quick exit.

Youd just be left to play with yourself, and to deal with the bill

Churchill.

I like the way he says "Oh yes."

Acacia · 14-02-2009 06:05PM

From the past- Genghis Khan.
