If you could have dinner with any 5 people alive

[samn01]

If you could have any 5 people around for a spot of dinner who would it be and why?

The only rule is they must be alive.....

Mine of the top of my head.

1. Derren Brown - Great conversation, would ensure there was never a dull moment.

2. Kylie - Just to stare at across the table

3. Richard Branson - Again I would really like to spend some time picking his brains

4. Nelson Mandela - a man I really admire

5. Al Pachino - Cool guy to sit next to at a party

It is not a high brow crowd but I imagine it would be a great meal.

Its harder than you think.......!

[mrsd]

1, Stephen Fry - fascinating (if poss. slightly odd) individual
2, Ed Harris (see Kylie above)
3, Mordechai Vanunu - I'd love to know what he knows about US and Russian influence in the middle east and, if he was having dinner with me, he wouldn't be languishing in solitary confinement
4, Douglas Hurd - possibly the most intellectually gifted right-wing politician of our time
5, Tony Benn - possibly the most intellectually gifted left-wing politician of our time

(can I cheat and have Jeremy Paxman serving drinks ?)

[apache]

jet out of gladiators, lotusguy and thom, flasher and ***999***. While that lot are arguing....well you can guess the rest

[Bonce]

Michael Palin: Someone who would have more amazing travel stories than anyone else I know

Kylie: See above

Rolf Harris: What a guy!

Billy Connelly: If I can forgive him for his National Lottery adverts

Iain Banks: My favourite author

Hmmm, two Aussies and two Scotts...?

[deltaf]

My hi five would be....(sits and ponders for 10 mins before typing)

Richard Brunstrom (for arguments)

Stig Blomquvist...could pick up some driving tips

Our very own Madcop...to point out the error of my ways.

Our very own Outlaw...cos i dlike to see him and brunstrom get heated..

And finally for dessert...Jill Kelly and or Kira Kerner.....who? (porn stars!) just for the attention it would get.

Ive thought carefully about these lot, but the last two are just to indulge my lecherous self with..

[monty_python]

Jeremy Clarkson
Nicolas Cage
John Cleese
Peter Wheeler
John Travolta

At a curry house obviously.

Tony.

[wedg1e]

1) Philippa Forrester (see Kylie above )

2) Peter Wheeler (owner of TVR - for a verbal kicking)

3) Rowan Atkinson (as long as he does Mr. Bean for the duration)

4) Amanda Burton (see Kylie above )

5) Richard Gere (so I can finally convince my girlfriend that I DON'T look like him in the slightest!

OK, OK, so I'm shallow.... in reality I wouldn't want any celebrities around; they'd distract attention from ME.

:yawn: :chunder: :straitjacket:

Ian


Edit: Dammit! I need to type faster. Peter Wheeler was on my list 20 mins ago!

1. Gordon Ramsay. Oi! Ramsay - in the kitchen - get your whites on and knock us up a decent meal.

2. Nasser Hussain. I need to know why he picked Roni Irani to play for England when he would struggle to get into most pub sides.

3. Gerry Marshall. This guy gave me more pleasure than any other racing driver and I bet he's got some stories to tell.

4. Joe Pesci - in character - to keep Ramsay in check.

5. Robin Williams. To keep us all laughing.

"Michael Palin: Someone who would have more amazing travel stories than anyone else I know"

BONCE, GET A GRIP.

Michael Palin is the President of Transport 2000.

Michael Palin must be tied to a camel. Said camel must be dumped in the South Atlantic without water wings.

Michael Palin is not funny any more. Right?

[mybrainhurts]

John Prescott

Alisdair(?) Darling(?)(?)

Professor(?) David Begg

The baronet Sir Jonathan Porritt, CBE, DT (drama teacher), environmentalist extraordinaire

The leader of the Green Party


Then.......lock 'em in the dining room and throw away the bloody key............

[Cerblunatic]

Heres mine.

Joe Peschi

Natalie Portman (see kylie above!)

Jamie Oliver (for that food!)

Mika Hakkinen

Lee Evans (for the entertainment!)

[the jiffle king]

Mine would be:

Saddam
1 SAS member (Not fussed who)
Sven (our beloved manager) for obvious footie talk
Heather Graham (For intellectual Stimulation)
Clarkson (to talk about cars)

I get the feeling by the end of the starters there would only be 3 guests.

T-J-K

[raf dug]

Mine are:
Jeremy clarkson-hehas my sense of irony/humour
tara palmer-tomkinson-posh totty
victoria beckham-my favourite
david beckham-Intelligent conversation!
richard branson-to get a few business tips.

[douglasr]

Muhammad Ali (the greatest living sportsman of all time)
Arnold Swarzenegger (the greatest bodybuilder of all time)
Rudolph Juliani (one of the few politicians I would be interested in listening to)
Jeremy Clarkson (to bring things down to earth)
Billy Connolly (because he is the funniest man alive)

[tuffer]

Tony Blair
Richard Branson
Paul Merton
My old Music teacher Mr Davis (he was an outspoken arse)
My Gramp (just to add in some ....During the War yada yada yada stories)

Tony and Richard would try and put the world to rights, Paul would add some witty comments, Mr Davis would say "Brown I told you to study harder" (I would poke him in the eye with a fork) and Gramps would say "when I joined the RAF Regt we were living in tents and using an old cattle trough to wash" (he always says that!! but he's a good egg).
I would sit back and get pissed with a nice bottle of red and laugh at a world gone mad.

[Buffalo]

Jimi Hendrix
Richard Branson
Billy Connolly
Richard Attenborough
My dad

Numbers 1 and 5 don't technically meet the requirements, but Jimi is my idol and i would have loved to meet him and my dad had the art of conversation wrapped up like noone else i've met.

The other three would make bloody interesting guests i reckon.

If i couldn't have Jimi or Dad, then someone like Jimmy Page (for the sex stories) and Jeremy Pxman (for the arrogance) would be quite amusing.

Nicole Kidman, Kylie and the bird out of Gone in 60 Seconds would be waiting the tables, but not technically allowed to converse

[pistol pete]

Colin Chapman
Ayrton Senna
Adrian Newey
John Castellano (see www.castellanodesigns.com/)
Jeremy Clarkson

bugger -just realised 1 & 2 dont count... was gonna say Ken Tyrrell, but thats no good either... neither does Jim Clark, so...
Jackie Stewart and Bernie Ecclestone
I think.... or maybe god would be a good idea...
