Angelina Jollie. I've no idea why and no idea what I'd say.

Quite a few people, but out of famous people, got to be Ronan Keating. He always has inspired me and I just love so many of his songs, all of which that he actually wrote himself. Also, the amount of work that he has done for Charity just goes to show what a top bloke he really is

Gavin Young - he and Spike Milligan between them were responsible for getting me reading books again.

 

Gavin Young's travel writings quoted other writers so readily, and relevantly. I am the sort of person to find the books to which he referred and read them for myself.

 

I did on many occasions and discovered Joseph Conrad, Wilfred Thesiger, Robert Louis Stephenson, Freya Stark and Thor Heyerdahl as a result. Moreover, he was a person who entered foreign lands and aimed to learn from the experience rather than impose his own social mores on others.

 

I'd like to meet Gavin Young so I can thank him for hours of pleasure as a result of reading.

If time travel was permitted - J Edgar Hoover and Adolf Hitler

 

Living - Al Pacino

Fred J Taylor, partly for a bit of hero-worship*, and partly to ask *when* the reprint of Favourite Swims will finally be appearing!

 

*Alan, just to be clear, Fred would be the object of the hero-worship, not me.
