The idea is simple you are going to a lock in at the pub. You have a choice of two people to take. You can only take one. Who would you choose. Post your choice,say why and then set 2 people for the next person.
So - Boris Johnson or Keir Starmer?

Price Charles

Jamie Oliver or Marcus Wareing

Jaxjacky Mon 28-Dec-20 20:49:35

MissAdventure Mon 28-Dec-20 21:06:33

Jamie Oliver.

Bob geldof or Russell brand?
?

Harris27 Mon 28-Dec-20 21:08:24

Martin shaw!
Ant and dec

trisher Mon 28-Dec-20 22:27:13

Russell Brand I think Geldof has got a bit preachy!

Archbishop of Canterbury or The Pope

Callistemon Mon 28-Dec-20 22:34:47

The Pope (I think) although my Italian is not very good, in fact, fairly non-existent

Archbishop of York or Archbishop of Wales?

trisher Mon 28-Dec-20 22:58:37

I had to Google them as I wasn't sure about either (I'm still in Justin Welby mode) I'll go for York he looks interesting and he's walked the Camino de Santiago. Wish I'd done that when I was younger

Linda McCartney or Yoko Ono

Callistemon Mon 28-Dec-20 23:08:41

Oh heck, I'll leave them for someone else moon

Have to laugh at anyone choosing Oliver Reed. He was a regular around these parts with many of the locals having many tales to tell of his exploits....

Chewbacca Mon 28-Dec-20 23:22:45

Linda McCartney

Dawn French or Joanna Lumley?

Dawn French
Basil Brush or Kermit the frog I'm getting silly!!!! moon

Dragonella Thu 28-Jan-21 03:05:44

Kermit!

Michael Jackson or Michael Parkinson?

Thank you for reviving this Dragonella, but what a horrible choice!
I'll have to go with Parky, but I'm not happy about it!

Staying with talk show hosts:
Graham Norton or Alan Carr?

Dragonella Thu 28-Jan-21 13:53:05

Graham Norton - at least he's witty!

Richard Branson or James Dyson?

Mark Carney (ex Bank of England governor)
always liked his looks and he could help me with my finances!

FannyCornforth Sat 06-Feb-21 09:44:57

Juliet you have to choose one from the pair given by the poster above, then give your own pair for the next poster to choose from.

I'll say Dyson, but it's not the most inspiring choice of blokes!

Julie Walters or Maureen Lipman?

Smileless2012 Sat 06-Feb-21 09:50:46

Julie Walters

Sean Connery or Michael Cane?

FannyCornforth Sat 06-Feb-21 10:10:45

Definitely Michael Caine

Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple?

grandmajet Sat 06-Feb-21 10:57:49

Hercules Poirot. I’d like to see if his moustache comes off!

Princess Anne or Prince Charles

TrendyNannie6 Sat 06-Feb-21 11:03:11

James Arthur , then he could serenade me

henetha Sat 06-Feb-21 11:07:32

Prince Charles. What a life he has had... I'd love to ask him lots of questions.

Dolly Parton or Jane Fonda?

FannyCornforth Sat 06-Feb-21 12:17:46

Dolly! She'd be amazing for a lock in! Can you imaginesmile?

Bowie or Presley?

Puzzler61 Sat 06-Feb-21 12:23:05

David Bowie (died too soon)

Richard Branson or Michael O’Leary?

EkwaNimitee Sat 06-Feb-21 15:36:05

Richard Branson in the hopes of swinging a very large discount on one of his space flights. O’Leary would just get my blood pressure up.

Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos?

FannyCornforth Sun 07-Feb-21 07:44:12

JB, the only reason being that he isn't EM.

George Michael or Boy George?
