Would not be surprized to see Wired try it out. Empire might do it as well.

It’s hard to look past Oliver Reed. However, media is already quite a boozy working environment and I don’t think the industry could quite cope with another self absorbed, self righteous alcoholic.

Other potential candidates include Martin Sheen (hero and all round nice guy), Dr. Manhattan (he can literally do anything) and the T-800 from T2 (for protection, like).

Hmm, I have always found the greater public’s obsession with celebritites to be perplexng. What is interesting is the different ways these obsessions manifest themselves - in the States celebrities generally seem to be glorified whereas in the UK we seem to love nothing more than to cut them down.

Basically it would have to be someone who earned their fame, rather than being a manufactured icon. That said, I could probably handle going to work on, sorry , with Jessica Alba for a good few years.

Socrates and Da Vinci are definitely good calls. I’ll go for someone living though - Richard Branson. He’s tried his hand in about every industry going so work would never be a bore. He has a healthy sense of adventure, two private islands, is doing lots of good humanitarian work and who wouldnt want to be on that first commercial flight into space with him on Virgin Galactic??

On the basis that 1 seems to be a stretch (?!)…

Kurt Vonnegut (so it goes) because of his wry, humourous, humanist take on life - everything would always be in perspective.

Or, perhaps, Voltaire in a Candide mood.

Frank W. Abagnale Jr, or Hunter Thompson… either would make for a pretty varied career.

Actually Bruce Wayne would be pretty handy..

Tis’ a tough one.

Maybe Ghengis Khan, as he would be the strong silent type. if i was not getting the rates i wanted I would send him and his army to stand outside the publishers office….just to reinforce my power.

Or, one of the great Philosophers: Socrates, Kant, Humes as we would have great conversations

Da Vinci would be one crazy guy and always coming up with innovative ideas that could spill over into media.

Undecided as of right now.

Mary Poppins - there would be lots of singing and she could click her fingers and all my work could be done!

Comment on Unused Underground by Milly Newman

On a XTP … definitely the 10 rules for using the underground properly - e.g.

1 - if its rush hour and we’re packed in like sardines dont think its ok to still read the paper so it pokes into my head
2 - dont be afraid of the middle bit of the carriage to stand it
3 - please if you’re prone to sweaty armpits and have foresaken your deoderant dont position said armpit above my head - find a lower handhold
