    All the rednecks on here will presumably have gone from previously wanting the BBC abolished for Left Wing bias to lauding them now for toeing the Tory Party line <laugh>

    We were offered the chance, 10 years back, to work for him, in Bath, and basically run his household, staff and transport logistics, etc.

    We turned it down as we thought he was really old and would only last a year or two more ...

    ... what a mistake that was, could've been a wonderful experience <doh>

    Would be one of my top 5 people of all time to invite to dinner. Love his shows and dedication to his work.

    Or perhaps a lucky escape from the clutches of a radical Marxist who no doubt would have had you as part of a commune, working unpaid for just bed and board. He might seem like a gentle, lovely old man but it appears he is a dangerous Left Wing radical <laugh>

    At the interview we were asked how we'd react if the Queen popped in for afternoon tea apparently that wasn't un uncommon occurrence ...

    ... after we'd turned it down we took a job with an American banker who'd recently retired at 32yo and was as boring as f**k.

    Jimi Hendrix
    Harrison Ford
    Winston Churchill
    Gordon Ramsay, but he can stay in the kitchen and cook the food.

    The problem with Churchill is that he'd totally dominate the conversation. Hendrix would be shy and in awe of the bloke so wouldn't say much. If he did speak Churchill would ignore him.

    I'd let Ramsay out of the kitchen to tell him to **** off every now and again.

    I know, but the Queen was seen as a pleb by our new Tory overlords. Practically a peasant to Rees Mogg <laugh>

    My first would be Liz Truss ...

    ... I'd enjoy asking her about her rise to power and subsequent fall, she'd be great if I could get a tit wannk and her lack of financial understanding would mean I could get her to pay most of the bill <laugh>

    Further to Exile II taking over from Lineker, its obvious that Claire Balding will join him
    A match made in heaven!

    To be fair he isn't speaking at a political rally, he isn't sending on open letter to the Times and isn't including his comments in a book on migrants.

    It's a Tweet, which is the equivalent of a comment to a bloke in the Friday night queue at a taxi rank.
