Who would you like to meet most in the world and is there a reason? I would love to meet Richard Branson. No one ever says bad about him and I would love to know how he works. Perhaps even let him take me up in his air balloon!

I like your choice. Richard Branson is a real character and seems to succeed in everything he gets into. When I was much younger I wanted to meet Paul Robeson the black American singer. I used to listen to his radio show and was fascinated by his voice whether singing or speaking. Later I read a book about him and all the troubles he came through. I would have felt really honoured to have had a chance to meet him. "Old Man River" was a special person. I have all his records. Now there is no one except maybe Obama, whom I think is OK, but I would have one or two questions for him.

Hi Colmuc Its odd isnt it that the ones that come across best is the ones that have not had an easy life for one reason or another. I dont suppose you would remember a singer called Cy Grant? he was another great singer.

I must have seen Cy Grant when he was on the BBC Tonight programme but I cannot recall him. He will be 90 this year and at least up until a couple of years ago was writing books. Seems also to have been a very interesting character and a brave man.

Uhm, Oprah. ;) I'd like to meet her because I am an avid fan. ;) And I like how she makes certain people's dreams come true.

well, i have some very good virtual (online)friends. i would like to meet them. if you talk of celebrities then i would like to meet barak obama, the president of US. while listen to him on televsion i feel that he is a person of substance and meeting him would be enriching. he talks about so many issues but in a short and effect manner.

I hope you get to meet your online friends. My family and I have met three families, infact we have had one family to stay with us and we have stayed with two familys in America and met the third. Hoping they will come over here this or next year. You have to be careful meeting people from online but you do get a gut feeling whether they are good or not. Having said that I would not advise any young person to do so without their parents blessing or them being present.
