Off Topic people you'd like to go for a beer with

Samuel L. Jackson

Sean Bean

Dave Grohl

Sophie Turner because she's a sweetheart

Marina Diamandis for the same reason as Sophie Turner

Would say Nietzsche but he didn't drink so probably D'Annunzio

 

Do they have to be alive?

Peter Ustinov
Peter Cook
Joanna Lumley
Ayn Rand
Noam Chomsky

 

As Lambo says he is useless. My favourite moment was from a Rovers game at Catalan Dragons. There was a silence and Lloyd went on about how there must be a power failure as the tannoy system wasn't working. Further wittering about bringing you the teams when they got them working. And on he went...Turned out they were having a 2 minute's silence as an official of the club had died that week. Didn't hear it at the time but they have repeated it a few times on RH.

 

Peter Hitchens is another I wouldn't mind having a drink with. If his brother were alive, him as well. The young-ish actors and actresses on Game of Thrones like Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Kit Harington etc. all seem like a laugh. Alfie Allen is supposed so be somewhat of a party animal on a night out.

To be honest, I really can't think of any sports stars or athletes I would want to go for a drink with. They all seem a bit dull. Wouldn't mind going on a night out with Noel Fielding and the lads from Arctic Monkeys either.

 

Might be a tad difficult if they weren't.

 

I would have just added Doris Stokes.

 

Muhammad Ali? Dull?

 

Muslim, wouldn't drink. Maybe some ex-footballers like Windass or a tennis player like Novak Djokovic.

 

You'd have to get Djokovic out of season then.

 

Nietzsche didn't drink ?

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya,
'bout the raising of the wrist.

 

Apparently not. At least not towards the end of his life. He shunned alcohol as it numbed the senses and a person's ability to experience the world, and personal experience was pretty important to existentialism. He mostly drank water and milk.

 

Jeez Louise, next you'll be telling me that Wittgenstein wasn't a beery swine.

And Aristotle wasn't a bugger for the bottle.



I'm beginning to lose my faith in philosophers.

 

I know, right? Kin'ell, as an existentialist philosophical anarchist, there's no way I could read Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and Stirner and then shun alcohol for life.

 

Peter Ustinov
Joe Strummer
Johnny Cash
Hunter S Thompson
Charles Bukowski
Doyle Brunson
My Dad

That's a night out right there!

 

I'd quite like to have a beer with Kierkegaard. Either lager or bitter. Don't mind.

 

Peter Dinklage (in character as Tyrion Lannister). Together we could pay homage to the god of tits and wine.

 

Is he the PORG?

Or the bastard?

Or the one that keeps on wittering about Winter?


It's not a programme with which I'm overly familiar.

 

Not a fan then ?????

 

Il n'est pas chapeau. Il est heureux.
