If you could bring back three dead people for a 3-hour dinner and drinks, who'd it be?
It'd go for:
Jesus or Moses - just to see if they were serious
Billy the Kid - he'd have some stories about the lads in the film
Jeremy Beadle - he'd be playing pranks like hiding around corners but would need to wear a glove.
1 Richard Nixon
2 Charles deGaulle
3 Harry Truman
On a related topic, saw a soccer themed tv show last week where "Razor" Ruddock, Carlton Palmer, Frank Worthington and John Fashanu had each other round for dinner. Great entertainment and the lads seemed to enjoy themselves.
Jayses Olly, cannibalism now? What next?
My father, Bobby Sands (to see what he thinks of Good Friday Agreement and differing accounts of Hunger Strike) and ... Jesus as well, to see is the Catholic Church really the one and only etc as they like to claim...
1. My great grandfather, who emmigrated from Meath to Armagh
2. Redmond O'Hanlon (17th Century raparee)
3. Saint Peter
Saint Peter was a fictional character said my RE teacher. He said many of the people were fictional in the bible from Lazarus to Hercules and that Jesus made up a lot of those stories because electricity wasn't there in Africa at that time and he was just like a modern day Eastenders director so he says. You would have an empty seat there.
When I read the thread title all I could think was you'll need a load of glade plugins, and a very strong constitution.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph! I never knew that.
Who then, modelled for the statues of St Peter in Rome?

Maybe a necrophiliac to enjoy their company?

What a sing song that would be!
Maggie Thatcher and the two top "Reality TV" producers of the moment. An hour over dinner would be a small price to pay.
Jesus when did oul Maggie die?
OK, sorry for being obscure. I'll try again.

Oh the shame! Poor eggy.
I know drawing attention to someone's non death in a dead thread, I should be made cycle to work with my head lowered in shame.
1. Jesus
2. My Granda - would love to get chatting to him now that I'm older - he died when I was in my teens and I had no sense. Hopefully he can catch a lift with Jesus.
3. Pope JP II

Ah dont worry. There is even some people on this board who have inadvertantly reported themselves to the Moderator for bad behavior. Oh, and I'm not a Mod.

I'd be happy to lose that bet.
Both Grandads and my brother
Recurring theme seems to be that people would like to have spent some time with their ancestors.

Some have also deleted their accounts when pissed and cried like a baby!!
Steve Irwin, to ask him if he fckn likes animals now.
Francis Bacon, to advise him not to experiment in the snow.
Bobby Leach to ask him what it was like to survive falling over Niagra Falls and what it was like to die by slipping on an Orange Peel
Knew nothing about Leach. Some story.
Quote2. My Granda - would love to get chatting to him now that I'm older - he died when I was in my teens
Totally agree.
My Granda seemed to know so much despite not being educated.
Wisdom is said to come from expierence, Im still waiting for the wisdom.
I find it hard to give advice to my family, that they will take on board.
(apart from: Don't eat the yellow snow)
