Who would you have drink with ?

Trump. He's a firm teetotaller and would be hilarious when pi55ed.. Or perhaps Biden. That famous Irishman would certainly be able to take a fair few drinks...or drop dead and do us all a favour. His son would be up for some substance abuse too, and probably entertaining company.
The man who was so pis5ed he didn't realise he was being robbed ome night even when they dynamited his safe?
The one and the same, I'm sometimes a 'heavy sleeper' too.
To be fair, they seem to manage to find a bit of Irish in every American president. Even O Bama.
Although I never heard anything about Trump, perhaps they are limits.

Starmer. He went to the same university as I did and learned his law in the same lecture and tutorial rooms I did. So without doubt probably drank in the same pubs I did under but a decade before.
And likely p1ssed in the same stinking urinals "out the back" the gutters of which were littered with small square blocks resembling pineapple chunks before ordering a take out minced meat curry and a half dozen chappatis from Chakwal's to carry away.
So we'd be on familiar ground and could avoid being distracted by the novelty of the location, or it's other drinkers. But not the obvious of why not Tetley's, nor Webster's nor John Smith's is now no longer brewed in Yorkshire!
So I'd probably order a draught Guinness and we could "move the conversation on" and simply enjoy the meeting and the moment of two old alumni, me 1976-1979 and him 1982-1985, back on our old stamping ground.
And we'd likely both enjoy it as we'd be there for what it once was to both of us and the politics of the nowaday would be gloriously and totally irrelevant to the pleasure of it.

Politicians? Frankly today's lot would bore me rigid with talk about their policies. Having Trump and Biden there would drive me to make my excuses and go directly to Dignitas. See if I could beat them to St Peter's Gate.
So...my round would include Julius Caesar, Augustus, Edward I (apologies to Scotland and Wales), Churchill, JFK and Franklin D. Roosevelt. I also think Boudica, Alfred The Great and Jesse James (the outlaw) would prove interesting. Obviously guns would have to be surrendered at the door. Not because of any reason other than I think they will all be interesting.

Oh Lord no! I encountered him, once, in the Eurostar Terminal at St. Pancras. Came across as a bit of a doorknob. He was trying to impress some woman by telling her that this announcement or that announcement if it was in Mandarin it's be "xxx yyy" and etc.. No, sorry, but to me he came across as a bit of a full of himself doorknob. Not as full on a doorknob as Ed Davey (what other human being really could match that level of doorhandleness...you'd have to gallop to catch up) but getting there.
