Random conversation starters (part 2)

Throughout the Christmas period, some people will be going to more social events and parties than usual, so to ensure you're prepared, here's a random selection of conversation topics to get the conversation going. As I'm feeling self-indulgent, I've also provided my own answers.

Legal disclaimer: Please note, Santa didn't
really say this. It was actually The Punisher.

1) If you could bring one fictional character to life, who would you choose?

There's a part of me that wants to be topical and answer 'Santa' to this question! However, my sense of justice would probably make me opt for someone like The Punisher.

I'm talking about the original Punisher from the old Marvel Comics, rather than the poor fan fiction version from the Netflix series of a few years ago. Anyway, bringing The Punisher to life would result in hundreds of criminals being removed from the streets, thus making the world a better place.

Random conversation starters

As the lockdowns come to an end, you may find yourself once again being invited to public gatherings with friends and families. As it's been so long since we were all allowed out to socialise, some people may find that they're a little out of practise at the art of conversation.

"If I could invite five dead people for a meal,
I'd choose people who don't like eggs!"

If that applies to you, then here are a few random conversation starters to help get the discussion going...

1) If you could bring back five dead people and have a meal with them, who would you choose?

A girl I used to work with answered this question on facebook. For her 'meal with the dead', she named four famous people and also her Auntie Muriel.

Rather amusingly, her Auntie Muriel replied, "Thank you for thinking of me."

Oops! Looks like she wasn't quite dead yet! #HardToKeepTrack
