BeckyBoo Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 "You're all going to hate me".......I do!! I haven't even done my favourite songs yet!! My brain was addled at work trying to think of them, now I've got to think who I'd like for dinner! I was going to put you on my list, but not if you keep thinking up awkward, mind consuming questions! Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 That's ok - I have to entertain myself most afternoons - as most of our work is in the mornings. Afternoons I'm back over the road at home doing the phonecalls etc etc & going on here! Ooooo now who would I have? They'd have to be interesting people! 1. Peter Kay - mainly for entertainment value 2. Simon Cowell - as I quite fancy him! We could do a round the table X factor & have a ride in his jet. 3. Duncan Bannatyne - rather like him too & I like the way he says' I'm out 'on Dragons den. 4. Jamie Oliver to cook a healthy but gorgeous dinner & I admire him. 5. Joanna Lumley - She talks posh, but I find her hilarious. 6. Blanche out of Coronation Street -What a Star she is! 7. Julie Andrews - I admire her work & we could all sing doh rey mi !!!! 8. Richard Branson - mega rich, but started out with nowt & he could bring one of his hot air balloons with him. 9.Leonardo De Caprio - Mmmm mmm mmmmm! 10. Dawn French - as the Vicar of Dibley - Very funny! 11. Arnold Schwarzenegger - not saying why as I would get moderated! 12. Jim Carey - as he is never ever serious! There that was quite hard actually & I'd also like a full Orchestra round my table! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 God, in a rush but determined to join in! 1. My mate Emma - calls a spade a spade always good for a laugh 2. OH's mate Paul who is ALWAYS devils advocate 3 and 4. David Bowie and Mick Jagger - they'd have some after dinner stories to tell 5. Gordon Ramsey to help me in the kitchen (Yum yum!) 6. Nelson Mandela just so when I die I could say I'd been inthe same room as him 7. Billy Connolly - really makes me laugh 8. Kate Bush - cos she's mad 9. OH - should have put him first I guess 10. Sean Connery - cos he has got "it" (and yes I know he's really old) 11. .......still thinking about the last two..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 1. Jamie Cullum, (he can do the music!) 2. James Martin, (he's hot and can help me cook!) 3. Alan Davies, (Just because he's so funny!) 4. Stephen Fry, (He knows too much and can keep everyone quiet whilst I'm taking too long to cook) 5 & 6. Vikki and Dave, (my sister and her boyfriend, just because they're lovely) 7. Adam, (my brother, he'd love to meet those people!) 8. Sarah, (my sister, she would just have fun!) 9 & 10, (Mum and Dad, they'd love to meet everyone!) 11. Ian Rankin, (Mum can talk to him and discuss murder mysteries) 12.

Cinnamon Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 OK, here we go. One thing I want to point out is that I AM NOT COOKING FOR THIS LOT!!! Stephan Fry - I couldn't think of anyone funnier to listen to Sean Bean - The reasons are obvious.I will be right off my food Hugh FW - I just think hes great. Ewan McGregor - I admire him as an actor & a biker/traveller JK Rowling - OK, so shes a little dour, but I would love to talk Harry with her Bill Bryson - I really love his books & his dry humour Richard Branson - I totally admire him & think he is a nice bloke Gwen Stefani - Just to see what mad get up she would be wearing Anthony Kiedis - A fine figure of a man Billie Piper - To keep The Hubby happy Russel Brand - I would like to see if he is the same in real life Jonathan Ross - Such a witty man - I love him (although that beard must go!)

ubereglu Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Bill Bryson - I really love his books & his dry humour I've met him! Only because we went to my sister's graduation at Durham where he's chancellor! He's very funny and did a speech made out of 10 things. I can remember three of them. Always be grateful that George Bush will never be your president. Don't creep up on people and shout boo, as it's not very nice and scares people. Always remember to go and buy a copy of his brand new book in hardback the first day it's launched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessa the Duchess Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 i have been pondering this all afternooon 1. Jesus - Yes I know technically he is dead, but I have many questions to ask him and he would come in handy if the wine ran out 2. Leonard Cohen - I know he's 'old' but he is still one of the sexiest men on the planet, and a lyrical genius. 3. Germaine Greer - witty, intelligent and feisty. 4. Stephen Fry - Witty, and very clever, perfect for a dinner party. 5. Maureen Lipman - witty clever with great show biz gossip. 6. Alan Bennett - Love everything he writes and I LOVE his dry sense of humour 7. Jack Nicholson - great actor and handsome beast. 8. Ian Rankin - I am a great crime fiction fan, and can't resist a man in a kilt. 9. Billy Connolly - knicker wettingly funny man. 10. Maggie Smith - great actress and even more show biz stories. 11.

Looney Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I can't think of 12 people I would like to have to dinner apart from people that I already know A dinner party with 12 friends would be perfect. Somewhere relaxed with plenty of opportunity to chat! Alternatively, if I'm allowed to bring people back from the dead, I would love a dinner party for two with my Granny. I would have so much to tell her and ask her about - in fact just thinking about it has made my eyes well up (blame the hormones!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Now then, I'm going to be a party pooper 'cos I hate dinner parties. I'd have me, the missus, our son and his girlfriend. and "Ooops, word censored!"ody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 when we got invited out folk would say 'would you like to come to dinner on Saturday'. Now we won't re-visit the problems I have with dinner (it's my midday meal, I have my tea in the evenings) but concentrate on the fact that I don't want to go. so I used to say, I don't know if I'll be hungry on Saturday. Of course it didn't matter if it was a different day, I've only picked Saturday as a 'for instance'. It could be a Friday. Or even a day during the week - but that would be even worse as surely "Ooops, word censored!"ody wants to go out and have to be nice to people at a dinner party and then get home late and then go to work the next day. Dinner parties - nightmare scenarios. Spawn of the devil. We didn't get invited a lot after I'd said my bit about not being hungry. Great. I like eating in. Richard No Mates.
