My mum and dad.

My Dad's Mum or Dad.  I've never met them and have heard great stories about them.  

 

Actually I wouldn't mind just sitting there with my Dad now.  He's a quiet man and doesn't chat much so I'd like to just chill with him.

ahh sh!t

not meant to upset anyone

i thought you'd all be going for historical people like 

marylin, princess diana,kennedy,henry the XIII etc...

Jesus or Superman.  (Someone who could save me if the remaining inch or two  of the cliff crumbled away and the bench toppled into the sea)

yeah bit close innit

reckon i'd go for usual suspects

diana-what REALLY happened that night? would be a good start

richard-did you kill your nephews?

and

elizabeth virgin queen...really?

My maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother. Wonder what they were like. 

Cleopatra>>>>> did you really have a big asp?

I started my family tree ages ago Roger, got stuck on my fathers great great grandparents.... until last friday My cousin came over for the weekend and brought me an old family album with photo's and sketches going back generations, I'm so chuffed and cant stop showing everyone Seems I look very like my great great great grandmother

I think Elizabeth had quite a few lovers including the Earls of Leicester and Essex.

 

I'm very keen on historical 'whodunnits' so it'd be quite interesting to chat to, say, one of Jack the Ripper's victims, and ask if she had any idea to his identity.  But, then again, I don't think I really want to know.

 

Lord Lucan - are you dead and, if so, when and how did you die?

 

Lee Harvey Oswald - yes or no?

 

Dr Crippen - it's been said that the remains found in your cellar were not those of your wife but those of a man - right or wrong?

 

Shakespeare - if not you, then who?

 

 

some great ones there

jack the ripper

but yeah it would 'spoil' it if we found out who it was

proper victorian mystery

bollox lisa just text me saying a mate has died

back later

Sorry to hear that, Pirate

   Tragic news, Pirate, sorry to hear that.

That sounds brilliant Bethni  Its fascinating delving into family history. Your family album sounds like a real treasure trove. Wow that's a far back resemblance 

 

 

 Aww Pirate.

Jackie Onassis

Elvis

Frank Sinatra

Hitler/Stalin

Kissinger/Nixon

 

Many more

 

 How awful Pirate

I wouldn't sit on that bench with anyone, it makes my feet go sweaty just looking at it, but if I could chat to anyone, it would be Michael Parenti, because I like how his mind works and his eaes  with  words.

I would also like to have a word with the head of Google and ask him/her why they took a very goodm search engine and browser, which was simple and fast and made it horribly complex and slow, and totally feckin useless.

I wouldn't mind talking to him.......just to find out if he was really mad or quite sane 

just back in

lad was a dealer

dunno how he died yet

some saying he o'deed

some saying he was done in

few months back he got chopped up by nutter with a machete 

we used to call him 'the eyes' cos he's got mad piercing blue eyes

bloody hell

never knew why he juggled cos he came into a fortune 

by the way i dont hang around with dealers-i knew him before that

bit of a shock

Just realised that we've got to chat to them for an hour.  The ones I've selected above (with the exception of Jesus and Shakespeare) would probably run out of things to chat about quite soon (Actually, that's just my excuse.  The truth is I don't fancy spending an hour, on a clifftop,  in the company of Lee Harvey Oswald, Lord Lucan and Dr Crippen)  

 

I'd want someone interesting and amusing (to take my mind off the sheer drop) so Spike Milligan, Peter Ustinov or Kenneth Williams would fit the bill

Oh I think I could get Hitler to talk for an hour......

 

And also Billy Connolly 

Not saying I would agree with Hitler's views of course.....just would like to get in to his mind 

Wow that's a difficult question, so much choice...
Leslie Neilson was a favourite of mine, and had a huge career, I think he would be interesting!
Robert Downey Jr. is niiiiiice...
Jane Austen or Beatrix Potter..

Pirate, sorry to hear about your friend, that's really sad news
In cases like this I think it best to forgive the person for any poor choices they have made in life and remember them for the time you knew them when life was less complicated. Take the happy memories and treasure them

RDJ is a mad man and someone I could definitely happily spend an hour with at least!  

But that's just for his looks innit?   Get in to his mind girl 

I'll try 

Sprout, I actually would just love to chat to him.  He is known to not hold back on his thoughts of other celebs and the industry.  I think Hollywood is one of the most corrupt places on earth and would love to hear some truths 

Came back in to revise my earlier one

Looking at where the bench is situated I'd like to change mine to Steven Goode, his mother and his girl friend, don't need an hour though, a few seconds would do

 

Goodnight everyone   

Me too! 

  Bad girl Bethni lol!  

Ignoring all passed on family members, who i would love to chat to again.

 

I would sit on the bench and chat with Gregor Mendel, the man who discovered genetics using peas (I Think).

*in real life* I would just like to chat to my nana's and granda's 

If we're talking family members it would have to be my Great Grandfather Robert, who on his death in 1961 in Oldham, it was found he had a bigamous marriage and other children, who moved back to the North East after his death.
