A beer with a famous person

Post by karatekid » Fri Aug 15, 2025 7:24 pm

I think we’ve had something similar before but it’s worth revisiting.
If you could go for a beer with a famous person who would it be and why? Dead or alive, play with me on this , just a bit of fun.

For me it would be Roger Waters of Pink Floyd. Always been a fan and I’d ask him lots of questions about what goes on in his mind presently and in the past.

Usain Bolt and it’d probably be a beer and chicken nuggets.

The fastest man, ever.

He abstained from alcohol, he didn't want it to cloud his judgement.

Probably someone like Sir Alex Ferguson for me (although it would be a glass or two of red). You would learn so much just by sitting there listening to him.

I have had a drink with some bloke who played guitar and wrote a few songs though called Paul McCartney.

Bruce Springsteen.
I’d love to know if he had been denied one talent from singer, musician, composer, record producer, etc., which would it be.

I was going to say Nikola Tesla too, however, I don't want to ruin your pint with him, so I'll go for Leonardo da Vinci 😁

if you ever get your wish be sure to ask roger about his views that the october 7th massacre was actually a conspiracy invented by the israelis, his insistence that putin is right to invade ukraine and that the taiwanese people have no right to self-determination.

he's a great musician but an almost david icke level of dickhead.
