Fantasy Dinner Party

i, for one, wouldn't want

at my dinner party because i'm not prepared to let him set off the fire alarms with all the smoke that seems to follow him everywhere.

i also very much doubt that my flat has the necessary infrastructure for the pretty lights.

I think I'd have

Morrissey (To thank him for writing so many great songs and for his great use of the English language and sarcasm / whit)
Nigel Mansell (just because he was the reason I got into F1 all those years ago)
I would invite

for sure, (it would be nice to say to him "Shut the F&*K Up if he stepped out of line but I know I would never say that to him)
Clint Eastwood (to ask him if he felt lucky about my cooking)

Clint could keep

in check couldn't he

Lech Janerka ( you can;t know him - he's Polish musican, writing great lyrics, i love to read any interview with him)

And for the weirdos among you, I'm fairly sure that's Burley Park, so get your camping equipment and binoculars ready!

Yeah it is. Chris lives about 1/4 mile from me. I'm not going to post his address on open forum though, the poor bugger will be besieged as it is.

I have actually thought about this for years and I have lots of versions... whenever I plan my Christmas do I think about all the better people I could have at my table instead of the family I will end up resenting by the pudding course. Current fave wish list:

Queen Elizabeth I
Queen Elizabeth II
Geoffery Robertson
Tom Baker

I reckon it'd be a riot!

Sounds like we may be related to the same people. I solve this problem by making sure I'm on holiday over Christmas with a stack of books, a case of malbec, a stilton, and a carton of smokes. Maybe have one or two people I'm not related to over for drinks and sausage rolls, but beyond that the rest of the world can fuck off for 4 days (coz I'm a miserable git

).

I recognise that patch of green they had the football on, just around the corner from me. Pity that pub there closed.

I also have a copy of that issue of Sandman Wayne is reading. Hell, I've got an article in it.

For an enjoyable chat & to give them a chance to put right the wrongs done in their names...

Jesus
Karl Marx
Elvis

and to ensure that their hillarious attempts are subsequently followed by a TV crew for a reality show on ITV2

Max Clifford

(catering by Kerry Catonia & all at Iceland - the shop not the country!)
