Hi everyone
I'm sure everyone joins me in saying welcome back to O2. We missed you!
Thought I would do another fun post.
If you could spend the weekend with a famous person ( past or present ) who would it be and why?
Have a great weekend everyone!
Rubyxx π π
I'd love to spend the day with Doris Day .... I absolutely love her. Would love to chat about all the wonderful films she made. 
xxx
Hi Lyn
Doris day is an amazing woman.
Still looking good at 90 yrs old. 39 films. Wow! Whats your favorite? Pretty hard to pick. Calamity Jane is good. How bout Betty White . Shes still going strong in her 90s too. Good choice Lyn
ππ
I like them both also!
Well my fave DD film has to be Pillow Talk. I love that one, as for Betty White...well...I don't know her, so I can't comment. lol I expect she's really lovely though. Have a lovely day Ruby xxx
A weekend with --- I think Neil Diamond would be good but not with that mustache. Maybe Tom Selleck with his mustache but far too old!!!!!
I mean I am far too old.
Hi Pergola
Both honeys huh? Neils 74 and Tom is 70. Go for it!
Do you watch Blue Bloods
with Tom Sellock? Hes the police ccommissioner. Great show.
ππ
Hi Ruby, Yes great to see 02 back and like this fun post idea of yours.
Barry Sheene was the peoples champion and my Hero back in the day when I rode motorbikes. He was approachable and was always willing to chat with his fans unlike many of today's stars.
He came close to death a number of times but on each occasion fought back from horrendous injuries to race again which made him in my mind one of the most inspiring people.
Its ironic that he survived these high speed crashes that smashed his body but was beaten in the end by that little white stick of tobacco called the cigarette.
He even had a hole drilled through the chin-bar on his full-face helmet allowing him to smoke right up to the start of a race.
I think I would have a good weekend chatting to my old hero Barry Sheene.

Hi Tony
Nice reply. Let me compliment you on your videos. I love them and do them! Keep em coming!
I did not know of Barry Sheene.
I googled him and read up on him. Amazing guy. Bionic Barry!
Did you meet him? So you were a motorcycle guy ? Did you travel around alot?
Do you know of Evel Knievel?
Rubyxx π π
Well everyone.........
Got my weekend set up. I'm figuring on hanging with Victoria and The Beatles. Then I will go on to make a dancing video with the great and famous exercise and dance intructor..... DALLO5!!!
Have fun everyone. Like Fred says-----Keep smiling. Laugh its good for you. It gets your mind off of everything.
Rubyxxππ
Hi Ruby, sure is great to see O2 back and in fighting mood. Mario Lanza just to have him sing to me and only me. Suzy xx
Hi suzy
mario Lanza had a magnificent voice. So sexy. Wow just you and him ! What a hot looking guy too. All yours for the weekend! What would you do with yourself? Got any ideas? Hmmmmm..............
ππ
Douglas coupland, wrote generation x, Canadian, seems a lovely bloke, he makes the very ordinary extra ordinary, can I have another one? Nina Simone, for her version of 'here comes the sun' and 'ain't got no......,got life' yea great to see 02 back x x x
That's brilliant medow - that "here comes the sun" just love it.
And loving this post Ruby xxx
Hi Medow hows the book? Pretty good read? Whats it about?
Just listened to Nina... Here comes the sun. Nice! I like her!
ππ
Elvis- enuff said 
xx
Wow Cough Talk about being ALL SHOOK UP! What a weekend that would be!
Have fun
ππ
Cor yes It wouldn't have been heartbreak anything! xx
Patti Smith for fun, Sylvia Pankhurst, the socialist Pankhurst, for politics, especially currently, while voter registration is a modern day suffrage issue. Hope everyone is registered to vote, many will miss out with the new reorganisation.
Good to see your smiling face π
Patti Smith is cool. Do you like Bob Dylan? Sylvia is womens rights? Not to sure on her. Tell you what if you like her shes ok in my book! How are you doing?
ππ
Hey Ruby, love Dylan, in fact just saying that makes me want to listen, but i wouldn't choose to spend time with him, just to listen. I saw him live once straight after his electric conversion which i didn't mind as much as many.
The Pankhurst sisters led the womens suffrage movement and secured votes for women. The suffragette movement was run by rich and entitled women - very brave too. The Pankhursts were an aristocratic family but Sylvia went to live and work with the working class people of east london. There were many working class suffragettes but little known of compared to their richer and more educated sisters.
Im ok, not much more to say than above. the oxygen sats have so improved. Im now on just under 1 litre, compared with 4 litres at worst. So all good
How about you? Update please xxx
Nothing much going on with me. Didn't get my spirometry test or ct scan .
Waiting on insurance. Feeling good. Working harder than I was,... cleaning offices. My daughter quit helping me. Even have to carry vacuum up stairs in one. Oxygen goes down to 94. I guess not bad. I'm good though. Thanks for asking. Trying
to think who I want to spend the weekend with. What a loaded Question. thats a Pisces for you, can't make up their mind!
Take care my friend
Rubyxx π π
That's a tough job. Do you were a mask, and do you take care of yourself with the chemical cleaners? Certainly hope so xxx
Don't wear a mask. Don't really use alot of chemicals. The only thing I don't like is bleach.
Feeling good, buddy of mine??
Rubyxx π π
Yep But had serious warning yesterday from Farmer D not to be under the steroid illusion that i have muscles (or i suppose muscle tone) and he's right. So guess i have to accept that recuperation will take time,
On the other hand just happy to be home, alive, in touch with friends on forum and in my community and my lovely Rita too.
You've been such a mate Ruby.
Hope you wake up to a good day xxx
Hi 0Trees, have you watched the BBC2 programme about the Suffragettes , they fought so hard so women could vote....and that was just a year before my 94 year old mother was born...makes you think!
D'you mean that series that was on some years ago? Shoulder to shoulder i think it was called. But then my memory is thinking there might have been something recent.
94 years, your mum, amazing. My dad was born in 1899 - he probably wouldn't have supported women's suffrage 
My dad would coz my mother would have told him too! x
I think Bruce Willis because he is a funny person and a hunk too!
Hi Punky
Bruce is great. I actually watched
THE SIXTH SENSE and UNBREAKABLE last weekend. I still have a picture of the kid saying I SEE STUPID PEOPLE......
THEY'RE EVERYWHERE........
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY'RE STUPID!!! Remenber that? I love those two movies.
ππ
I had to go look at the trailer. Man it has been so long since I watched that movie I am going to have to watch it again! It was a great show! I am getting old. I never used to forget a movie that was so wonderful! I am sure I saw unbreakable too but can't for the life of me recall all about it. Jeez. Well on the movie list they go so I can watch again anyway! ha! Thanks! ha!
got to be Frank Sinatra. No need for conversation, I would just get him to sing all my favourites - and there's a lot ππ. Ah, back to reality, I'd best get on with getting breakfast. Have a good day everyone π
Jan xx
Good old Blue Eyes. What a hunk. The voice as they called him was the First american heartthrob that caused girls to faint. So what do you guys call a hunk? What a voice on him
Good choice
ππ
Talking can wreck it jan. Best not to find our our heroes have feet of clay like the rest of us Just roll with the music x
Dead or alive ruby?
The group!!
Thats nice and I'm sure we would all enjoy it. Your not understanding the question. What FAMOUS PERSON from the past or present would you like to spend the weekend with. Could be anyone famous.
ππ
You might say I am greedy but spend my weekend with all the Beatles and pretend I am 16 again x
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET-----omg could I go for that weekend too!
Awesome choice Victoria. One time many moons ago I wrote a story out of the names of their songs. Wonder if I could do it again. Anybody up for that?
Rubyxx π π
Yes I would Ruby xx
Oh yeah yeah yeah x
Listen do you want to know a secret lol xxx
Hi victoria
you working on our Beatle paragraph with song titles?
You say HELP? We can do it. Cough might help.ππ
Oh dear have i got it all wrong? Just like me lol
I would have loved to have spent some time talking to Sir Winston Churchill as his life was so full right from his early days at school to his time in the army as a young officer, his escape from a enemy prison camp, then his rise up the ladder to number ten and onwards. I was stationed at the Royal naval gunnery school in Portsmouth when he was taken ill, and we started training with the gun carriage ready for his funeral before the great man had died.
Good choice Fred. Amazing man.
"A lady came up to me and said
"Sir you are drunk" To which I replied " I am drunk today madam, and tomorrow I shall be sober but you will still be ugly"
I love his quotes! You know any?
I want to read his biography.
What a life he had. What an interesting life you had to Fred!
Keep on smiling Fred. We love you!ππ
Ruby my favourite quote of Winston Churchill is ....
Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is courage to continue that counts.
I believe that is important to a lot of us love.
Fred xxx
I think Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, has recently published a biography of W Churchill.
Sounds good will ck if out peege. Did you pick your weekend companion yet?
ππ
Johnny Cash, before or during the Fulsome Prison days
Johnny Cash.... I love him. Awesome choice! I can just hear Ring of fire in my head as I write this.Excellent taste Peege!
ππ
I just adore him, always have. To me he's Saint Johnny π
Good morning Miss Ruby, Very difficult to choose, I guess my choice would be Andre Rieu, such a charismatic man, what a talent he has, His concerts are out of this world. Hope the New Jersey weather is improving. Sunny here today, but chilly, Have a good weekend, Regards, Bulpit
Hi Bulpit
tell me about your Andre Rieu. Is he classical music? If you like him , I'm sure hes good. Is he a hunk?
We had snow here on Fri.
Will it ever end Bulpit?
Miss Ruby π βΊ
welcome back O2
John Wayne, because he was a dish
Hi Eyes
John wayne is good. I used to watch him with my dad. You do know smoking got him.He was good and a dish!
Dish means hunk?
Rubyxx π π
he died of stomach cancer and yes dish means hunk
Morning ruby, this is a hard one, there has been some really good answers
Doris day, I love calamity Jane,
George clooney,
Tom Hanks, think all his films are fab
Peter Kay. Soooo funny
To be honest and I know it's a fun question but if it was a weekend I could have my health back for just 48 hrs I'd like to spend a fun packed normal weekend with my hubby and kids.
Take care xx Sonia xxx
Nice Sonia
If I could give it to you I surely would. It really was for fun . Just to see the variety of answers. You kind of get to know people with these kind of questions. And its fun to see how differently people think. Like Victoria, shes 16 and with the Beatles ! Just in fun. No
sickness.
Take care Sonia
Like Fred says------ keep smiling
I would love to have spent the weekend at Woodstock π I met Richie Havens in Liverpool years ago, he was such a lovely man, or a weekend with Jimmy Hendrix dancing and rocking out yeahhhh!!!π huff xxxx
Richard the third to see if what was written about him by his enemies was all true.
I always think that history is written for the king of the day?
Good pick Offcut. Don't know to much about your Richard. I'm sure it would be plenty interesting.
ππ
Nigel Farage. Find out whether my inclination to vote for him would survive personal contact.
" Hahahaha! Stilltruckin you took them very words out of my mouth......Megan."
newsweek.com/2014/10/17/ins...
Quote:
'. . . βThey are appalling people, truly appalling,β Farage says, of his fellow party leaders. βEvery one of them is as dull as bloody ditchwater. These men are thoroughly hopeless.β
βBy what definition?β
βI judge everybody on the Farage Test. Number one, would I employ them?
Number two, would I go for a drink with them?β '
Well Stilltruckin
You got me on your answer. British politics. Not something
I'm familiar with. I'm sure you and Megan know your stuff. Great minds think alike! So be it.
Good answer though. Get inside those politicians minds. Find out what makes them tick.
So on a different subject.......
What kind of music do you like
Stilltruckin?
Rubyxxππ
In earlier times Hawkwind and Pink Floyd were favourites, later on Trance music generally speaking. Nowadays I don't pay much attention, but occasionally tune into the music channel on freeview and find some amazing stuff happening . . .
Chris Packham (for his brilliant wildlife knowledge), Elvis...of course! and Mother Teresa.
Hi Lovelight
what a variety of answers!
Chris.... Amazing except when it comes to the pandas. Elvis you can't go wrong with. Mother Teresa...... interesting
ππ
I Have to think about it Ruby and that's a bit sad isn't it ? What happened to all the crushes I used to have on singers and film stars. There was a time when I would have sold my soul to apend a weekend with Kevin Costner but that seems so silly now. Aaaaaagh Ruby, you've just made me realise how boringly grown-up and sensible I've got
I'll get back to you tomorrow
Come on Argana
Live a little!
No great inventor you would like to stand beside. No singer you would love to have sing only to you? No actor you would like to be with while their filming? This is supposed to be fun! Put your worries and aches and pains on the back burner and come with us. Feel free and happy and carefree. Where is that happy girl inside of you? Set her free. Let her have one great weekend
what will it be young lady? Whats your fancy?
ππ
Bertrand Russell. We share the same initials, birthday, love of philosophy and idleness. Both of us have four children. I would murder him at meals end for smoking a pipe all day every day for over 70 years without apparent serious effect - though it must have been there!. He died at 98 of flu.
Never read anything by him. Looks like I've been missing out.What have you read?
Rubyxx π
Good Morning Miss Ruby, Andre Rieu is a very famous violinist,he has a fantastic orchestra, I would think about 50 to 60 members, A very glamorous group of extremely talented people, Andre is Dutch,lives in a castle in Maastricht Holland, You must goggle him, and if possible get a DVD of one of his concerts, He plays all sorts of music, His orchestra is called The Johann Strauss Orchestra, formed I think in 1987, He travels all over the world, Gave a superb concert in New York a few years ago. Once you see him,you will be hooked for life,My very best wishes to you, Bulpit
Hi Ruby,
Haven't had a chance to check in over the weekend so seeing your post a little late! Okay I'm sure you won't mind if the wish list is more than one name!
Elvis, Don Johnson (Miami Vice days) Matthew Mc Conaughey, Mother Theresa, Princess Diana,
Suz xx
Wow Suz
thats what I call a busy weekend!
You can fit all them in? Which one is your very best pick?
