    And smokes!!!!

    Too many to list:
    Ghandi; MLK; Nelson Mandela; Desmond Tutu; John Hume; Michael Collins; Wolfe Tone; And many more that I can't think off at this time of the morning.

    Sporting: Matt Busby; Pat Crerand; Eric Cantona; Lance Armstrong; Sean Kelly

    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.

    He'd cut you up and make a canoe out of you.

    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.
    " I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"

    Recent research suggests that Judas was a representation for the Jewish people and not actually a person. It was also suggested that Barabas and Jesus were the same person. Loads of the myths purported by Christianity have been exposed as too flawed to be credible.
    Sorry I can't back this up with references now but it was on the Discovery Channel.

    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.
    Where am I now? I'm over here,
    I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.
