If you could go for a drink/coffee with anyone...

...who would it be and why?

Personally I would LOVE to have a drink with William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy. It would be non alcoholic of course as Nimoy is a recovering alcoholic and Bill Shatner lost a wife to alcoholism/drowning. I've read one of Nimoy's books and Shatners book and they're really interesting people

Stephen Fry, though I'm guessing the 'drink' would be port or sherry.

There's plenty of words for it

Dead: Luke Kelly, Ronnie Drew, Liam Clancy. Mainly just to see what they were like in real life; and I love a good few stories.

Alive: Dylan Moran - purely because he's hilarious

Did she drown in her drink?

Living: Sienna Miller (can't get her out of my head since that perfume ad)

Dead: Phil Lynott (legend, plus always seemed like he'd of been good craic to go on the p1ss with0

Fictional: Satan (cause someone should have a pint with the poor bloke. Humanity have been talking crap about him for millenia, dragging his name through the mud. Why? He never did anything lousy to anyone. Look at his supposed crimes.

1. Tried to over throw God: Well God turned out to be a bit of an asshole, smiting people, destroying cities full of people just cause the people were having sex out of wedlock and the like, asking beardy old guys to burn their kids just to see if they'll do it, like for sh1ts and giggles, all sorts. I reckon Satan had him pegged from the start, what if someone had of overthrown Hitler right at the start, could have prevented a great deal of suffering. At least Beelzebub gave it a shot, despite obvious the risks posed to himself if he failed.

2. Convincing Eve to eat that fruit: And rightly bloody so, God sticks this tree in the garden of Eden and then says "ahh but don't eat anything from it or you'll die". Satan was right to have a word with her, let her know that this teasing mind game business wasn't on, you have to stand up to bully's from the start otherwise they think they can push you around forever. Plus God was lying, she didn't die, the Devil knew God was making sh1t up.

3. Got King David to take a census: Big whoop, Satan obviously had a lot more experience running a nation, what with being in charge of Hell and all, he was just offering some tips on civics.

But despite all the crap he's had to put up with over the years he still takes in the vast majority of mankind, that get stopped by the bouncers of heaven for being raised the wrong religion or riding some bird without being married or listening to rock n roll and asks nothing in return.

So yeah I'd buy Lucifer a few pints, it's the least I could do, seems to me he's the only that's had humanities back from the get go.

Billy Connolly

efb · 05-01-2010 06:32PM

Stephen Fry

twinings perchance?

RonMexico · 05-01-2010 06:48PM

Natalie Portman. It would probably turn out to be the equivalent of a dog meeting up with a swan and in the end I'd get a slap.:D

IvySlayer · 05-01-2010 06:51PM

Alex Ferguson.

3hn2givr7mx1sc · 05-01-2010 06:57PM

PJ Gallagher, or any good comedian. I get giggly when I'm drunk so it'd be hilarious.:D
Vinnie Jones, I just like the fella.
Alex Ferguson or any other older generation soccer player/manager that I like because I love reading or hearing stories about old habits in soccer like the drinking, smoking etc.

I couldn't choose one, tbh.
