Lot's of 'em!!! Good thread Renton! For starters, Sophie Scholl. "do you really think the establishment have a GSOH, sense of irony, or will tolerate any form of protest?"

True Garage Joe - there are soooo many figure disappeared from history that wud have fascinating stories to tell.

Sophie's last words,

"Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?"

I wud love to chat to ALAN CLARK - maverick Tory MP

When he was Defence Minister he was asked about arms sales.

He sed he had no concern about wot other countries did with the weapons sold to them by the UK

Fascinating guy

Martin Luther King and Winston Churchill.  I'd just let them talk - and I'd listen.

So many. If they told the truth. Diana, Elvis, Marilyn  to name some just off the top of my head.

Martin Luther King would be great to listen to Yogi. So many more i've just thought of. Never ending list. 

 

Mostly i would bring my Grandmother back, for so many reasons i would like to listen to her.  

Jesus, I dont really want to ask him anything, just hang about with him for a day, ive watched enough jeremy kyle to tell when someone is full of crap or not

Oooo that's a hard one Renton..... there are so many..... but among those I would like to chat to  are Elizabeth the First, Abraham Lincoln, & James Stewart....

Why and wot wud you say BAZ?

 

 . . . leading you lot by the hand LOL

LOL...OK..... well James Stewart is the easy one, cos I just want to find out if he was as lovely a man as he always seemed...... Elizabeth the First because I love the Tudor period of history, and I would like to ask her how accurate our interpretations of the period are..... and Abraham Lincoln cos I find the Civil War period fascinating, and again I would like to know the truth behind the decisions that were made......  and now my brain aches Renton

BAZ - aint it odd wot we find interesting

I agree - James Stewart did seems like a good guy (I hope he was)

Where as, i couldn't give a fig about the other two - ha ha ha !!

 

Of course I wud have to include Hitler on this one - i wud love to sit down and calmly ask him wot the heck he was thinking about!!

Does it have to be someone famous? I'd want to sit and have a chat with my grandma, and a cup of tea, of course

Yes....... mind you I am not sure I would be able to keep my hands off his neck long enough to ask him much!!!

You can read his poorly thought out ramblings in his book Renton.

Preferably famous as it wud make it more generally interesting

Unless . . . you tell us wot you wud talk about

That cud be intereting - do you have a reason to want a special chat with your Gran?

JOE  i wud want to challenge him and choose the questions

Though i have pondered a purchase

Richard III - I'd ask him if it was him that 'dunnit'

 

Lee Harvey Oswald - see above (acting alone)

 

Richard Burton - I'd just ask him to talk about anything - he could read my shopping list if he liked - I'd be happy just to hear that wonderful voice talking to ME!

 

 

 

AVY . . . can i call you AVY - lol

Do you chat on Digi-Spy at all?

Yes you can call me what you like,  Renton (within reason)

 

I have been on DS but not very often

Are yoo perchance  . . .

 

Nimu of Avalon - or something?

Right . . . i'm fed up waiting and i have to go

 

(I'd like to talk to your Mother actually!!)

I'd love to have a chat with Robespierre and find out what changed him from a mild mannered lawyer to a killer of hundreds.

No, that's not me.  I only usually go into the techie-type threads.  Not cos I'm a techie person but if I have a question to ask about broadband etc they can usually answer it for me.  I've probably got fewer than 50 posts to my name.

I read a book some years ago which exonerated Richard the third from all blame concerning the princes in the tower.

Thomas More/Henry 8th.

The victims of Jack the Ripper

The Richard III accusations were merely Lancastrian propaganda to make it look as though the regicide was a just thing. That's why we don't trust the cheating red rose so and so's even up to current times. Elsewhere, there would be no point arguing with that 'itler one, since he was totally convinced. I wouldn't mind a chat with some of his followers though just to see what made them tick.

I'd tell Henry VIII it was HIS fault he couldn't father a son.

Then teleport back to 2011, sharpish

Burree did father a son!

 ..

So many............Anne Boleyn, Henry V111 for starters......Louis XV1.....Jane Austen

I would like to return to ask Edward VI who his father was.

Hitler....Just to ask him why? and if at the END he had any regrets.......

No hesitation: my mum, I'd like to ask her thoughts on some of the things that have happened in the years since she passed away. Oh and if there is a Heaven, as she firmly believed and if so what it's like?......But most of all I'd just like to see her again and have a hug
