Good evening Silver Tabby and thanks for your question.....
When I read your question ST the thought that immediately came into my mind was that I would choose four people who write on this forum....
Obviously I will not name them, but perhaps one day I just might meet them.....
My reason for this choice would be because any famous person can be looked up on Google, and most questions would find an answer there. But after reading posts and profiles of some of the regular members on over fifties you can sort of build up a picture of the person, and some of them seem to have personalities that I particularly like.....Of course, I could be wrong, but that just adds excitement to the project....
If I had to choose from a long list of famous people who I admire and are long since departed it would consist of:-
Nikola Tessla, (not to be confused with TessA
) I would have loved to have been his apprentice, assisted and watched the great man at work.....
Albert Einstein...Not only for his Scientific achievements but his views on life in general. He has made some very interesting and humorous quotes of note.
Muhamed Ali, The greatest boxer of all time, who gave me hours of enjoyment and amazement while watching most of his fights on TV in the seventies.
Lance Armstrong, five times (disputed) winner of the Tour de France, to ask him why he took performance enhancing drugs when he probably would have won without them...
I live in hopes to have dinner with these living examples....
Ed Byrne....The comedian who appears on 'Mock the Week' I would love to walk with him in the mountains of Scotland. He belongs to a small group of people who are what's known as 'Munro Baggers'....He has climbed all the mountains (known as Munros) in Scotland over 3000 feet...Respect!
Mike Oldfield...Who composed 'Tubular Bells' my all time favourite album, I never get tired of listening to it.....
Liz McColgan...10,000 metre runner and record holder, I was gutted when I heard she got married...
Josephine Sadd....My first love and who I never see but still think about from time to time....I just wonder what she's doing now......
Sorry Silver Tabby.....That's turned into Foxes Dozen....
