Hi all

There are so many people we admire for a variety of reasons, these are a but a few of what popped into my head

Steve McQueen ( the King of cool)

Hemingway (for hell raising )

Leonardo Da Vinci (for his genius)

Einstein (for being even more of a genius)

George Lucas( for his vision and story telling)

Jacques Cousteau (because he opened the wonders of the Oceans to the masses)

Frank Herbert (Author)

JRR Tolkien(Author)

Carlos Coste (also cool)

And the last two for there ability to make physics and cosmology understandable to the masses

Brian Cox

Carl Sagen

Funny.

[Ken Gargett]

Ian Botham...obviously.

i suspect you'd find beefy might be a little too like a number of other sportsmen i could name. in his case, a great cricketer but you might find him a far better cricketer than dinner companion. that is just a personal view from one meeting and the opinions of a number of others who do know him. sadly, it applies to some of our own finest sportsmen as well. a few too many.

And to converse with those whose ideas have inspired Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot amongst the worst , and have consequently resulted in gulags, the killing fields, the cultural revolution, tens of millions of deaths, mass political purges And awful human rights abuses, mass starvation, etc etc - oh yes and North Korea.

I listened to an interview with Sir Viv Richards (probably another good dinner companion), where he described the good times they had when they shared a flat...I picked Botham as I thought he may be a good time guy...but you are right of course...sometimes sportsmen are as dull as ditchwater.
