Would be my old man , he taught me about stalking , i still remember him smiling when we used to meet up after going out seperately and id return with a deer and he was empty handed , his usual comment was " better to be lucky than good "

This reminds me of an article that used to run in one of the shooting magazines where people were asked to say who they would like to spend a days shooting with. Can't remember which magazine it was though. Most lists included their Dad.

I did get to spend time with my Dad, who I would like to have a pint with anytime were he still with us. But I didn't know either of my grandfathers. One was a farmer in Wexford, long gone before I arrived. The other worked in the brewing industry in Burton On Trent, lived in a terraced house, joined the Royal Engineers in the Great War, got gassed, survived, but passed away a year before I became a twinkle in his son's eye.

As for people who I'm not related to, I would fancy sharing a pint with Gareth Edwards, or Winston Churchill, Douglas Bader (both of whom would, I believe call a spade a spade) or perhaps Eric Clapton, especially if he brought along a guitar.

Fair enough, but don't attach that comment to someone else's post as you have NO idea of their cicrumstances

I agree with the original poster but as mine is unknown it will always be an unassailable wish I see no downside to my comment as I cannot be inside your head for your perspective can I?

My youngest lad who is no longer with us, a seriously funny guy with a twisted sense of humour, (flash bang in the pub entry hall! amongst other foolish stuff), sacked from the Army after a random D&A troop scoop, he swore he had been spiked in the bar, broke his heart & he lasted almost two years before he drank himself into oblivion, so from a fit Corporal PTI to a box in the blink of an eye.

my mother , taken too soon

my father is still with us , I don't drink with him now so his passing is unlikely to change my feelings.

My grandad.
most of him survived the Second World War and the bits he left behind never stopped him raising a large family.

What would I give to have a wee bit of time with my mum and tell her all the things I wish I had said more often when she was with us and let her know that we're all fine. Going now starting to swallow hard............

If you really think hard enough there`s not enough space to name them all,but I shall throw in another.

The chief architect of the Pyramids of Giza,just to wet his lips enough to unload on a few of the unsolved secrets...like how they placed the capstone on top for one!

Is there really a hidden chamber behind the walls in Tutankhamen`s tomb? For another.

The Chief (?) that got Stonehenge up and why?

The list goes on.

Then I think the Lincolnshire Poacher who's book I loved at 15 when I got my first shotgun.
