who would you most like to have a conversation with

[jooles]

I watches a brilliant tv program this week all about Charles Darwin after watching i sat and thought how great it would be to able to have some time talking to him he was so interesting and so clever.. so if you could have some time to talk with anyone past or present ... who would it be .. and why?

[jaysay]

I think I would have to say Tony Benn, since he left front line politics I've heard him speak no a number of occasions and although I don't agree with his political ethos, I find him a very interesting man

[garinda]

I've been lucky, I've had conversations with some very interesting people. From John Profumo to Sir Peter Ustinov, via Enoch Powell, David Bowie, and Mike Tyson, to name drop but a few.

If I could have a conversation with anyone, past or present, I'd chose to talk to Oscar Wilde, or Ramsay MacDonald.

I would love to speak with my father.......I don't aspire to conversations with the famous/infamous.
I would love to ask about my family background......things I never thought would be important when I was growing up.

We miss so many opportunites because we don't really know what we don't know(I hope that makes sense).

I'm sorry my answer is not more entertaining.

John F. Kennedy, I'd mention that it looks a bit like rain, better use the covered Limo' today, (well, after all I wouldn't want to panic him).

[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes Cashy......so many 'mysteries'(though not sinister ones) could be solved if I could just have a couple of hours with my father and both sets of grandparents.

It is important to know that we are the people we are, because of where we came from.
And the journey through life made by these people, makes us who we are today.

Less, you can't do that it would change history beyond all recognition (maybe even for the better...though I wouldn't bank on it)

[shakermaker]

Jesus Christ and C.G.B. Spender.

I think it would change History even more if I said, "ignore the book depository but when you get to the grassy knoll...Duck!".

I would love one more conversation with my mum there is so much i wanted to say to her and never got the chance to one of my biggest regrets in life.
Aside from that i would love to sit and chat with Billy Connelly,Jeremy Clarkson and Bruce Dickinson three people who have provided me with countless hours of entertainment over the years.
