    Past? John F. Kennedy. Present... Barack Obama.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,591 ✭✭✭RATM


    Present = Osama Bin Laden. That $25m bounty on his head could come in handy.

    Past= Madeline McCann. Not as big a bounty but still a tidy reward nonetheless:pac:

    Damnit, you got there before me.

    I'd like Elvis to meet some of his more contemporary impersonators.

    Past: Eamonn De Valera. "You are the founding father of Fianna Fail. You played a massive role in Irish independance. I'd like to ask you a question. How do you feel about Charlie Haughey and Bertie Aherne's running of the party, perhaps the other two foremost members in the party's history?" Now THAT would be a lead question.

    Present: Roy Keane. Just to ask him who was shaking before the Leverkusen second leg game, and a couple of other things. (Saipan being the foremost)

    Get a sense of humour. This is After Hours.

    And I wouldn't go around calling people "Sickos". That kind of stuff doesn't go down well here, and is considered abuse.

    I love you just for knowing who Alf Wight is. Grew up reading those books and never, once, met anyone who'd heard of them. Still read them, bring at least one of them everywhere I go... classics. :D

    Anyway.

    Past: My dad. Just out of curiosity, really, even though he's a bad, bad man.
    Present: Stephen Fry and/or Alan Davies. Think that'd be a fun night.

    Been to Darrowby (Thirsk). Have his sons autobiography of his dad and currently reading Graham Lords earlier book on him. Have all his kids books, etc, also including a book on his favourite views - stunning pictures. Also have a copy of the dvd "James Herriot's Yorkshire" - a film about him and a three day walk through his work place by Christopher Timothy.

    He sounded like real honest gentleman by all accounts.

    Hope you're not waiting for an apology. I lost my 4 year old son for 2 hours one time in central Paris.

    I have about .0001% clue what the McCanns are still going through.

    By the way I reckon I have at least an average sense of humour.

    I am though. I don't appreciate that kind of abuse and its not welcome towards any of the members here.
    This is After Hours, if you don't have a sense of humour then GTFO.
