Marilyn Monroe - beautiful, intelligent and often misunderstood
Anne Frank - her diary blows my mind, 14 years and so much wisdom
Travis Fimmel - in character as Ragnar...need i say any more..not sure how much talking we would do...
Elizabeth 1 - strong female leader in such a precarious world
William Shakespeare - love the period of history he lived in and love his works...would like to hang out for a bit

Murray Walker, I like F1 so he'd have some interesting stories
Meredith Kercher, would like to know exactly what happened to her
Adolf Hitler, would like to try to work out wtf he was thinking
A translator, so I could understand what Hitler was going on about
Tony Hancock, because he'd get rat-arsed and have a drunken go at Hitler.

Yet you assume everybody is going to be interested in your comment? 😉
TheWaif · 13/04/2021 20:42

Nope. I just hoped it would make at least one person realise how dull they're being :)

I would have said Shakespeare five times, but deep down I need Shakespeare to remain a mystery!

Mine would be:

I would choose my brother, before he was ill. He wasn't such good company for the last year of his life.
My Grandpa (also deceased)
My Mum and my Grandma (both very much alive)
It would be lovely to see my brother one more time and for my Grandparents to be together for an evening after 20 years being apart.
