Garret Fitzgerald
Ghandi, or Martin Luther King Jr.
Sir Walter Raleigh - Where would Ireland be today without the humble potatoe!?
I reckon Einstein, Plato, Confucius, Buddah or Mohammed Ali!

Big Tom Crean, from the county Kerry. Famous member of Shacklton's expedition and as near to indestructible as a human being can possibly be. The crew, stranded without rescue at the Pole, quickly realised that their survival was directly related to how near they were standing to Crean. In the same way, if I had to pick which celebrity or star I'd want to be marooned on a desert Island with, it'd be Ray Mears, every time.
The rest?
Oh, the the usual suspects... Jesus, Wilberforce, General Booth, Armstrong and Aldrin, Gagarin, Douglas Bader, Marie Curie, Woody Guthrie, Paul Robeson, Hilary and Tenzing, Cousteau, Ali, Pankhurst, Ghandi, Johnny Cash, RJ Mitchell, George Stephenson, Che, Jinky, James Brown, MLK, Mandela... Thing is, you can keep going for hours.
Me Mammy of course !!!! :D :D :D
He'd cut you up and make a canoe out of you.Quote:

I wouldn't mind chatting to
Leonardo DaVinci or Judas Iscariot
Kirsty Gallacher for her contribution to quality televisual programming.
In fact if there's a most desirable date thread ...I'd go for Kirsty too. We can go swimming to the local municipal pool, I can video tape her slipping on a diving board -slapping off it and the side of the pool on her semi concious way into the water and we can look back at the tape and have a jolly good laugh at how side splittingly, jaw achingly funny it all was -while the medic wires up Kirstys shattered jaw and patches up her split side.
How do you know his mammy? :DQuote:

Most respected person would be James Connolly, maybe would like to have one-to-one with Comrade Che - although I think he would simply consider me a slacker.
