Who would you rather have been ?

[thenry]

Neil Armstrong or Roger Bannister ?
and one for the ladies ......
Emily Pankhurst or Germaine Greer ?
(no intention to be patronising in any way)

[craft1948]

As a lady I'd rather have been Neil Armstrong.......................

[Mick-Talbot]

Germaine Greer ?

How does she get into this quartet?

[thenry]

Thank god for that ! ^^

[jno]

that's Emmeline... but on the whole I'd go for the one who was still alive

[sandyRoe]

Her book The female eunuch

[joeluke]

Maybe it's thenry's 4 ideal dinner guests?

[Jeza]

I would have liked to be me. Instead I had to be a Mother to two young children who's mother was ill in hospital. Maybe in the next life.

[Sir Alec]

Sir Alec Guinness. He was such a private man, but had such a full life.

[mike11111]

What a very restricted choice. Now if you had said "Margaret Thatcher or Bessie Braddock..." well, then...

[thenry]

What about Bessie Thatcher ? She went to school with my mother !

[mike11111]

Now you're just trying to muddy the waters, thenry.

[nungate]

I'd rather be Mrs Pankhurst's daughter Sylvia, or Vera Brittain

[thenry]

I love Muddy Waters ! Goddam true Blues man !

[thenry]

Nungate et al. Reckon Sylvia Plath should have been on there !

[parkie]

Definitely Roger Bannister. I can't stand heights.
