Aongus Von Bismarck

I think the more interesting question would be who you would invite, and what you'd have for dinner.

I'd invite:
Otto Von Bismarck - the most interesting European of the past 200 years. 

Charlemagne - the most interesting European before that. 

Vincent O'Brien - Legendary national hunt and flat trainer.

Escoffier - French chef, restraunter and writer who helped to popularise haute cuisine.

John B. Keane - playwright, novelist and masterful observer of the Irish condition. I was going to suggest Brian O'Nolan aka Flann O'Brien/Myles na gCopaleen, but unfortunately he'd probably turn up blind drunk (see observer of the Irish condition). 

Richard Proenneke - naturalist and master craftsman. 

gifted

1). Liam Lawlor.....to ask him about the dirt he had on certain politicians and was his death an accident or planned.

2) Adolf Hitler to ask him why?

3) John F Kennedy to ask him was Marylen Monroe a true blonde lol

4) Jesus himself to ask him why as well

5) Myself 26 years ago to tell myself not to worry so much and to attempt everything I was afraid of

I think Jose would be so wound up by the end he might actually murder everyone, but it'd be great to watch.

Eamon Dunphy instead of Joe Duffy. They might all murder him

Nah. Imagine if Hawkins asked JP2 to enunciate the conditions for a just war. You'd hear nothing but knives and forks hitting plates for the rest of the evening. That's of course assuming the others didn't lose their appetite.

Because Chomsky always puts his guns in a cloakroom before giving a lecture & so does Stephen Colbert before hosting the late show?
