Deathlist Dinner Party

Recommended Posts

Which people, living or dead, would you want around your dining table to share the prawn cocktail, coq au vin and Black Forest Gateau?

 

I would like to start the ball rolling with this eclectic list:

 

David Attenborough

Judi Dench

Richard Feynmann

Enid Blyton

Douglas Adams

Dian Fossey

Desmond Tutu

Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin

Roald Dahl

 

A reasonable combination of entertainment and serious conversation, methinks. Let the Blue Nun flow!

If it's prawn cocktail you're serving I'd definitely start with Roy Keane ;-)

 

I'd quite like my grandparents (from one side of my family) there too as they were both dead by the time I was 11. Maybe my ancestors who I've never met or known one from each century perhaps. Famous people would most likely annoy me.

I'd invite all 50 of this year's DL candidates, then serve them my very special salmon mousse... :lol:

 

However, I'd make damned sure Mr Dunn didn't have a mouthful while he's regaling me with tales of le Mesurier's drunken antics.

I would quite like to have dinner with some of the DL forum members, there is a wealth of information between everyone, whichever subject comes up for discussion there always seems to be someone who is well-versed on the subject, which makes for some very interesting discussions. You bunch of clever-clogs :lol:

At risk of offending some sensibilities here I'd be up for the big ones guest wise.

 

Y'know; Jesus, Mohammed and Buddha. Can't see me saying, or wanting to say, much. Be one hell of a night, though.

Good call OoO; Palin is a superb conversationalist and a genuine bloke, not at all a self-indulgent celeb. Was talking to the man only last week on the phone, not something I've done before or am likely to do again. But he was alright.

On the wall opposite me right now hangs a photoshopped picture I did of the Last Supper with the dinner guests the wife & I would choose. A lot of them are dead, but we were somewhat stoned when we came up with the idea & choices, so we transcended mortal realms:

 

Oliver Reed- Someone for me to get wrecked with.

 

Queen Victoria- the missus loves everything Victorian, indeed she's something of an unrecognised authority.

 

George Best- (See top).

 

Stephen King- What a mind & imagination to pick over the brandies.

 

Johnny Lydon- I've always thought he's an interesting guy under the brash exterior.

 

In the middle, in Jesus' place, Tony Hancock- He represents the greatest comedy writers ever, Galton & Simpson, but I put Hancock in as two people would have f**ked up the seating arrangements in my picture.

 

Quentin Tarantino- Another twisted imagination to dissect over dessert.

 

Kurt Cobain (with guitar)- after dinner singalong.

 

Stephen Fry- For humour over the cheese board.

 

Johnny Cash- f**k knows why, he was the missus' choice.

 

Stan Laurel- A comedy writing genius. There is so much I'd ask the bloke he'd probably get pissed off with me.

 

Groucho Marx- Same again.

 

Cheers,

 

BHB

Linda Lovelace & Ron Jeremy? Dunno what Oscar will make of those two, & I see you've included the fantabulous Camille. Clinton will like her...

 

I've just thought- if this dinner party has a swinging, apres dinner sex theme, someone's going to be might gutted when they fish old Weston's keys out of the hat.

Had the same impression and actually looked up a few of these mysterious characters since I've never heard of them in my life. I would participate in these little dinner date lists, but for some reason I feel like it is uncalled for to name people I would like to meet, Hollywood types and it's neighbors are overdone and guided artificially in more ways then you could imagine. I feel that we are all people in reality, and I don't have a whole lot of interest in meeting a long list of people in general. I would be more interested in who wanted to meet me.

Joe Walsh

Hugh Laurie

Grover Cleveland

Martin Heidegger

James Woods

General William T. Sherman

Saladin

Domitian

Septimius Severus

and my great-Grandpa, who was a Ukrainian Cossack.

 

Assuming that they can all magically speak English, of course. They all have something in common, but it's hard to explain... sort of a way of looking at life, or at least acting in it. Laurie might just be there for the entertainment though.

 

I'm not much of a "get historical people together" type person though, I had to think for this one. I'd much rather get together all the people who have influenced my life personally. I can't even imagine what would happen to my life if they all could sit at the same table for dinner. I might even turn out halfway normal. :lol:
