Who would you most like to go for a pint with
Discussion
Just a bit of fun.
Who in the world would you most like to go for a pint with?
I reckon Nelson Mandela would be a pretty interesting, but for a bit of fun it would probably be a laugh having a pint with Gordon Brown and discuss with him what the f**k he thought he was doing when he brought the country to its knees!!

This is an interesting topic, and i can think of loads of people i would like to go and have a pint with, but i think for me john finch, the american racing driver would be a good one.
Flew planes in the second world war
drove for mercedes in the carrera panamericana road race
Was the team mate of pierre levegh who was the poor guy who crahsed at le man in 55
John finch is 92 now, still has all his marbles and would be a 2 pint conversation i think, maybe a 3 pint chat

Stephen Hawking. Despite all the drooling making it difficult to get into some nightspots as the door monkeys will think he's had one too many, it'd be worth it to have someone who'll look more hammered than you when the missus comes to pick you up. Plus there'd be bags of interesting conversation about space, and after a few pints you just know he'll be firing off some classic chat up lines and swearing like a trucker through the old speech synthesiser after a dozen jars. Fun times I reckon.
There used to be a radio show in the US where people had a short time to talk through what was important to them. A friend was talking about this and recommended the book of the show - called This I Believe. In less than a couple of hundred words various people, from celebs and leaders to ordinary folk express what they believe in and what is important to them. The most compelling and interesting essays are from the people you never heard of and the dullest of the dull ones are by the rich and famous (a generalisation, granted, but bradly true). The worst two I read were written by Bill Gates and Donald Rumsfeld. The most engaging by a Bronx REsident who's son was murdered by local gangs.
So rather than the Mandela's and the Palmer-Tomkinsons I'd prefer to have my pint with my Great Granddad, as an example, who went to the Somme aged 19 and never came home. Or the father of someone who's dinner party Iw as at who was a Ghillie in the Republic of Ireland in the 30s.
