  • Ultimate dinner party

    If you could organise your ultimate dinner party..
    Who would you invite?
    What would you eat?
    Where would you hold it?.......
    When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown

    Right

    George Clooney, Stephen Fry, Sandi Toksvig, OH (bless), Andy Hamilton, David Attenborough.

    A huge bucket of fishy stuff to be eaten with fingers (like Loch Fyne does) - oysters, prawns, shrimps, cockels, mussels, crab, lobster, languoustine (sp), chips n salad.

    Somewhere warm and comfy with really good coffee and loads of the red stuff. Maybe a croft/cottage in the wilds with a roaring log fire. Oh and a full English for brekkie (starting to fantasize here - would they want to stay with me boring the pants off them?). Oooops, wrong phrase!

      My Nan and grandad because never had a chance to speak to them as an adult.
      Ghandi - must have been an amazing time to live in
      Churchill - like to see the management tell him that there is no smoking
      Kiri te Kanawa to sing my favourite song
      Shostakovich just love his music and he can play accom to Kiri
      OH most of all

      Food:
      Would have to be one of those 12 course dinners that Uni put on for someone that died and left a legacy etc.

      Sistine Chapel

      Great thread

        Maybe I'm just boring or have no imagination but I would invite
        All the people I love
        We would eat all the things we love
        And I would hold it in my own dining room.
        We're doing it on Saturday night.

        From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

          In my dreams it would be John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, Mick Hucknall (I just love him!), Charlotte Church, KT Tunstall and my daddy! (He loves KT!)

          I'd make a full Scottish feast including; Cullen Skink, Aberdeen Angus beef and Cranachian dessert! Amongst the rest!

          It'd be in my house - just like I normal entertain - Jeez whit a party!

          And only count lifes sunny hours,

            Well Victoria, I can tell you don't come from Ipswich. Where in Scotland do you hale from . Sounds like quite a party. But do let me know if you're doing the Cullen Skink and I'll roll up for a bowl.

                who is the difficult bit

                I think

                Terry Pratchett (my sister tells me he is as much fun to talk to as to read)
                My family
                My online pals


                Where would also cover 'what' because it would be a certain hotel on the north coast of Scotland, where the chef does damn good soups, other starters and assorted main courses, but the deserts are to die for! Orkney Fudge cheesecake, Tipsy Laird, Banofee pie (like no-one else's banofee pie!) just as a sample.
                I'd let people make their own selection off the menu, because not everyone likes the same things.
                Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.

                  I do love a barbecue - informal, relaxed and easy going.

                  On a beach somewhere, Pearl Jam playing some tunes as the evening approaches on a summers day.

                  My family, friends and loved ones present.

                    Just me and Daniel Craig.

                    A 'do not disturb' sign on the door.

                    Dinner would be cooked for us downstairs, for afters, tee hee hee.

                    Oh how wude. Ok, seriously:

                    Bill Oddie
                    David Attenborough
                    Jamie Oliver
                    That bloke who grows drugs
                    Daniel Craig (durrr!)
                    Barack Obama
                    Ian McShane
                    Lee Majors
                    My friends
                    Philippa Gregory
                    Bill Bryson
                    Tim Moore
                    Roger Moore
                    Patrick Swayze
                    Duran Duran, Thompson Twins, Go West and Level 42 (with their instruments so they can take turns providing the music)

                    Urm, venue I think would need to be quite large with that lot. I love stately homes, so will go for Hampton Court Palace, in the orangery.

                    Food would be tapas or Italian, or a humungous curry!!

                        I would love to sit down to dinner with His Holiness the dali lama
                        A simple veggie lunch, amazing thought provoking and life changing conversation
                        In a temple in tibet, then i would know he had been able to go back home.

                          What a great idea for a thread

                          Sluglobber, you and me are musical soul mates, please make the next Wisley meet

                          Andy Hamilton as someone else said as he makes me howl with laughter
                          Sandy Toksvig (ditto)
                          Germaine Greer (big influence in my 20s)
                          Colin Firth (eye candy)
                          Dick Walls (you don't know him, he was my first boss, and if he's still round I'd love to know how he's doing, although he'd be long since retired. He's a surveyor - great name or what!)
                          Jane Austen (she and Germaine would get on fine)
                          Paula Radcliffe (obvious given what I do in my spare time, but one amazing and very down to earth woman, if a bit on the superhuman side)

                          By the way, we're getting a takeaway as I wouldn't miss a minute of the conversation

                            Nice.

                            How wonderful they all want to come too.
