You get one hour in a room with a person of your choice. Who do you choose and what do you do?

This is a scenario I think of sometimes: you get one hour in a sealed room with a person of your choice. You can do anything you want for that time and neither of you can ever disclose what you did/spoke about to anyone else.

Who do you take and how do you spend the time? I can't quite decide - I'm guessing a lot of people might use it as a hall pass or to confront someone they've always wanted to confront, though I suppose it could get a bit tense to do the latter!

Hugh Jackman and it would not be safe for work

Amispringy · 01/03/2023 11:46

Matt Berry

And it would be an x rated hour

My dad. He died when I was a kid. I'd ask him if he had seen all the things that have happened over the years, if he was proud of me, if he watched over his grandson etc. The hardest part would be saying goodbye again after the hour was up.

Back in time by 30 years for both of us.. Clint Eastwood. Please.

Can I kill them? Without getting in trouble?

My inner pervert and my inner psychopath are having a heated discussion. I'll let you know what they decide.

MaidOfSteel · 01/03/2023 11:53

My late Nanna. She died back in the 80s. I'd quiz her on everything to do with our family, her life, what it was like coping while her husband was away in WW2.
What I wouldn't give to see her and hear her voice again.

DD's boyfriend's DF. A 60 year old Italian Adonis.

For an x-rated (and then some) hour.

TheRealKatnissEverdeen · 01/03/2023 11:54

Putin
Only one of us would be leaving the room the same way we went in.

I went with the former

I might post again with the latter Grin

BadNomad · 01/03/2023 12:01

I'd say my mum, too. I have a lot of questions about things that happened in the past and just general things like where did she put the deeds to her house??? That was a ball ache to sort out after she died.

Lochroy · 01/03/2023 12:03

Indeed, my first thought was that if dead people are allowed it would be my Dad.

And now it's doesn't sit right to think of a dirty option 🤷‍♀️

Whiskyski · 01/03/2023 12:05

An hour with my grandpa and tell him how we’re all doing

DialSquare · 01/03/2023 12:06

Steve Marriott. I'd ask him to just sing for the whole hour.

cheatingcrackers · 01/03/2023 12:06

My late Mum. How I’d love to tell her about my kids and my husband and my niece and nephew and my lovely SIL and mine and DBro’s lives generally.

Before she died she wrote me a letter saying how upset she was that she wouldn’t be around for my teenage years, so I’d like to tell her about those too and that even though parts were a massive shit show it all ended okay. I think we could have a good laugh about it actually.

(I have a pervy answer BUT what if the person you’d been perving on turned out to be a massive dick?! Could be the most disappointing hour ever.)

HartstoneHomme · 01/03/2023 12:10

I would ask for 1 more hour with my late son, just to cuddle him and b

HartstoneHomme · 01/03/2023 12:11

*be with him. He was my sunshine.

Todowithbuses · 01/03/2023 12:13

DialSquare I loved Steve Marriott!

WiltingLobelia · 01/03/2023 12:15

Ed Harris.

He'd be happy about it.

DialSquare I loved Steve Marriott!

He was amazing. Doesn't get the recognition he deserves in my opinion.

I would choose my late husband - and I would lie on the bed with him - with our limbs completely wrapped up together - and I would just talk - I would like to feel his body and breath against mine one more time - that would be my hour

Aw this brought a tear to my eye. This is how me and my OH sleep and I thank my lucky stars every night I have found such love. Wishing you peace x

I’m so sorry, words aren’t enough sometimes

Dreamstate · 01/03/2023 12:20

Someone like the Director of CIA, FBI or MI5 and I'll be wanting to know everything!!!!!

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 01/03/2023 12:21

Anyone sitting on unearned wealth - not fussy who. I'd make them transfer all their assets, irrevocably, to charity.

Todowithbuses · 01/03/2023 12:23

DialSquare, I was totally in love with him😆.
