Heartland

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

J. Blast

Lech Janerka ( you can;t know him - he's Polish musican, writing great lyrics, i love to read any interview with him)
i have to think for a while about 4th person.

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 ).

Oh yes! We have the full 'do' @ ours this year.... oh lordy I am psyching up already - you should come!

Still think I win. The conversation wouldn't be that great, but how many of you lot would have problems walking the next day after yours..?

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!)

paint it black wrote:I'll bring the beer and the tunes

What a sneeky way of luring me in there...

My guests would be:

Hunter S. Thompson
Anthony Bourdain
Stanley Kubrick
Johnny Depp

I think I would invite

Terry Hall
He is so dead pan & a hero from my childhood. Pina Coladas with him would be fun.

Blast.
Need to have some controversy & he could bring the cheese too.

Lauren Bravo
Someone who will prolly document & blog the event & bring a sensational sense of humour to the proceedings.

Siouxsie Sioux
To swap crimping tips with.

Justin Beiber
Well, someone needs to do the washing up.

I would have to go with the Von, Hussey Gary Marx plus the DR for converational purposes and watch the blood bath start.
