"I'm looking for financial backers for a new nightclub venture of mine, would any of you be interested?"
Bernard, the leader: "Can you perform a gig in Chapel Hill?"
Nix that, "Can you have the band perform in my 21st Birthday Bash next year?"

Since I already talked to Bernard, my pick would be Hooky... I met him, but didn't chat with him. I talk with Phil as well, but he seems more shy than anything else.
Hooky seems to be the most "fan friendly" of the bunch.
I think what he did when he want to GlasVegas' pub was awesome, people there seemed to have a great time chatting with him in the night...

"Fancy a fu*k?"
but you say that to ALL the boys...and some girls too (from what I hear!!!) 
i'd just try and not say anything stupid. i'm sure they are sick to death of all those same questions.

that would be a new one for him.

That's exactly why I tried to do.... honestly...
I only asked the question about Gillian on WFTSC and Someone Like You because so many people wanted to know... that's all.
But how to you react when one of your idols (used loosly, he's not one of my "idols", but you get the picture) enters the restaurant you're at and sits to your table without you knowing about it in advance.... 
barney: what do you think about the situation in kashmir? what? you're going to the loo? ok. i'll just wait here.

hmmm I am having thoughts of "Waynes World" when they had Aerosmith on-I never expected them to talk about Stalin era apparatchiks!!
anyhoo...I always wanted to ask Steven about his tank tho I bet a LOT of people want to know.
Phil-I like his guitars and I think he is doing a really good job. Would ask him how he & barney got an article in "Guitar Player" magazine last year.
Hooky? Just to hang out...esp to see any interplay with Barney. They could be a hoot.
Barney himself? I really dunno....I would do my best not to be a dork. After all he is a dude like anyone else
I think I would ask them questions about the process of making music, and I would like to play music with them... or at least work on some lyrics together.
I'd prefer to be with Barney, though. Love you, Barney!

Tell him to wait until I'm at school there! (If that's where I end up, anyway.)
I'd probably want to talk to Steve or Gillian, but I'd have no clue what to say because I'd be too paranoid about saying something stupid!
If I was prepared I'd be ok to speak to any of them, but as it happened, when I bumped into Hooky last summer I went completely gaga. I'm still getting stick for that, Deek was in stiches. He actually told the kids: just as well it wasn't Bernard, your mum probably would have fainted ... the annoying thing about that is, he's probably right 
I had never spoken to Barney or Hooky since we left school in 1972. I saw Hooky in Manchester last year walking ahead of me. I quickened my pace and tapped him on the shoulder. "I've been waiting for 30 years to catch up with you" I said. He turned and quick as a flash responded with "Fucking hell, mate, you must have been walking slowly!"
I would LOVE to talk to Bernard!
I don't know what I would say to him, though.
Maybe tell him that I love his music...
Or that I have a "celebrity crush" (if that's a way of saying it) on him...
To Barney; 'Can I co-write a song with you?' (lyrically)
Although in reality I'd be gawping air for 5 minutes in a goldfishesque stylee.

Rocket, that should be on the Pole forum.

Mmmmmmmmmm, making sweet music with Barney 
My best line was to Stephen, when I was stood behind him watching Barney dancing with Doves and we both laughed at one of his 'moves'. I said 'Who taught him to dance like that?' and he said 'Well it definitely wasn't me!'
Few occasions I have come across Barney, I've never found anything intelligent to say! Hooky is a good and willing conversationalist!
I met the charming Mr Sumner ten years ago as he and Johnny were doing For You on TFI Friday at Riverside studios near Hammersmith Apollo.
He was having a quiet beer before going on to perform and I thought "it's now or never" so I walked up and said hi. He shook my hand! I asked him if Electronic would play any more gigs and he replied that it was down to Johnny and his commitments. I then asked him the $64,000 question: would the Order reform? He said he wasn't sure but would like to. I suppose we chatted for about ten minutes and I left the place about three feet off the ground. Tremendous.
I'd like to meet any of them though.
@Hooky: "Did you ever give that basta*d Bernard back that tenner he lent you in 1981?" :D
(Check Uncut's "Touched By The Hand Of God" interview from February 1999!)
I dream about talking to BERNARD but I think if I had the chance I would probably be spechless...so I could give him A
HUG instead or... 
I doubt i'll ever have the luck to meet them, but if this would come to be, the lot as i really like them all (includin' Phil, he's a nice fella). Can't tell if i would be able to say anything pertinent, depending of the surprise... I suppose just chatin' friendly about everythin' and nothin'.
To be honest i dont know if id like to meet them,been a fan so long its very odd that i havnt met them cos its just the sort of thing that happens to me,but it might just spoil it so maybe thats fate. But if i was to meet them in a restaraunt id like it to be like a fast show sketch.
To hook:"long hair isnt fashionable no more,get it cut and act your age".
To cummins: "you aint gillian and never will be,plus you got ginger hair so fuck off".
To gillian: "you aint phil,you cant play a note and unless your gonna start wearing short frocks and low cut tops,fuck off".
To steve: "you dont fool me with that cheeky chappy persona,ill bet your the miserable influence aint ya,AINT YA(hold of his collar at this point).
To barney: i pull out a can of talcam powder and sprinkle it into my hand SMAAAAACK straight across his chops. "thats for shellshock ya twat".
i then run from the building hoping im not being chased hehehehe
