Dinner Party Guest?

pyro940

This may have been done before, but here goes.

If you could invite anyone living or dead to a dinner party, who would you invite and why?

I have my own choices, which I will explain later, but just interested to see other peoples guest lists.

No limit on the number of guests , but explain why you would invite them.

Thanks

Philip

Someone who can cook, someone who can clean and Rachael Bilson to suck me off while I eat my steak. What more could any man want.

The A-Team, MacGyver and Ainsley Harriott.

Reasoning: Best episode of Ready, Steady, Cook ever.

Hunter S Thompson, would be nice of him to bring some of his booze and drugs along too.

Ross_Mahon

Derren Brown, David Blaine and Criss Angel, I would like to discuss their views on illusions and entertainment.

pyro940

excellent answers, thanks guys.

So let me give mine, slightly more serious and a lot less entertaining. I would love to sit at a table with my parents, both sets of grandparents and my great grandparents.

I would really like to know what they thought was going to happen to thier kids and thier kids kids.

Should they have go to war or should they stay at home? Should they leave the country or should they stay?

I would love to ask them about thier parents and grandparents, and get thier take on the world as it is today.

but that is just me!!

Dinner parties are just a way for middle aged folk to show off their houses.

I hope nobody tries to answer this seriously with their Salman Rushdies and their Nelson Mandelas and what not.

I'd bring Biffo and Charlie ....



Feed the pair of them beans on toast.

Jim Morrison, Richard Harris, Peter O' Toole, Richard Burton and of course... Oliver Reed. Would be more like a piss up rather than Dinner but exceptionally awesome!

pyro940

and this maybe my point!

would you reallly want to sit in a room full of strangers when you could talk to your family, a chance to meet the people who made you!

I see my family all the time as it is, screw that!

Jesus, Hitler and Traci Lords

IvySlayer

Snow Patrol and Leona Lewis, just so they can have a sing off and have a scrap.

Seriously?

Elton John, Johnathan Ross, Ricky Gervais, Michael Collins, Eamon DeValera.

Real lads night.

I understand Jesus and Hitler with them being BFF but why Traci Lords???

Sharpshooter

Well Billy Connolly would definitely be there , also John Wayne and Dean Martin .
Those guys are (Billy ) were ( Wayne and Deano ) funny.
I'd also throw in George Bush and the if we are allowed Homer Simpson.
Definitely would seat Homer and George together.
Also that impressionist guy who takes off George Bush so well , only I can't remember his name.:o

deleriumtremens

Frankie Boyle because he's the funniest person i've ever seen!
Or else richard dawkins, derren brown, christopher hitchens or jimmy carr!

What's the point of inviting Dawkins? You've read most of what he has to say in the books surely.
"So Richie did you see that match last night?"
"No I was busy coming up with the 10 reasons why there's no God"
"Uh-huh.... bit of a one trick pony aren't you Richie?"

And Derren Brown's going to be a bit rubbish too.
"Do a trick Derren."
"I left my gear at home. I thought this was just dinner. I didn't think I'd have to work."


And as for Jimmy Carr, he's hilarious and all but you can't really have a conversation with someone who speaks in one-liners.


Good list otherwise.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Jesus - because let's face it, you'd never run out of wine and think of the party tricks!

TPD

Penn Gilette, L. Ron Hubbard, The Pope and Richard Dawkins. I'd say there'd be no lapse in interesting conversation. Throw in Hitler too actually, and have all the servent people be jewish.

Aisling(",)

well jesus just to see what the story really is with that dude
a translator so i can understand jesus
abba just because ive an obsession
heath ledger to stare at
stephanie meyer to thank prfousley over the twilight books
J.K.Rowling because she is just deadly
gordon ramsey...well someone needs to make the food


think thats it for that night

on the other hand though i might invite no one and just have bucket loads of food for myself:D

dee8839

L Ron Hubbard (or however you spell his name) to ask about Scientology - WTF?!

Frank Sinatra - to get all the goss on Old Hollywood and its stars.

Simon Cowell - to decide once and for all whether this strange fondness I've recently developed for him is just down to too much X Factor or actually justifiable.

No Doubt - to provide musical entertainment.

That guy who played Denny in Grey's Anatomy, he's in PS I Love You as well - he just looks like he gives the best hugs in the world!

Milton Keynes, or whatever that economics guy is called - to ask him what the heck I should do about this recession...


I think I'd order in Dominos. Dinner parties are so early noughties.:rolleyes:

I love Rory Gallagher but I'd rather have him for a jam session than a dinner party.

I'd probably invite Jack Ruby to hear what really happened.

Chris Morris.

Maddox.

Trey Parker.

George Harrison.

Graham Chapman.

Bill Hicks

As you can see, I'm quite obsessed with comedy.

That's a different kinda party guys, more a sleepover..:p
No he is not on the list because we ( Bret and I ) would be the one's hosting the party.
That was a foregone conclusion.

marti101

Joan Crawford and Bette Davis to see if they were real life enemies or if it was fake.Jimmy Hoffa see who killed him,JFK for the same reason.The Rat Pack for some entertainment.Marilyn Monroe she could just hook up with JFK.Elvis that would be deadly and Ghandi to keep some law and order.
