Dead or alive.
 

Which five people would you invite to your ideal dinner party? They could be dead or alive.

Mine would be-

1/ Oscar Wilde, well I relish competition.
2/Barbra Castle, because she was at the centre of an interesting time in politics, and wasn't afraid to speak her mind.
3/Alan Bennet, so Barbra would have someone else from Yorkshire to talk to.
4/Prince William, because I'm nosey, and it would be interesting to see what he was really like, plus I might be able to convert him to republicanism.
5/Jackie Kennedy, because she had substance as well as style.

Re: Dead or alive.
 

My imagination must be stunted because I can't think of five people I would want to slurp soup with.

Re: Dead or alive.

Re: Dead or alive.
 

Hayley Mills – Same reason as Anne.

Gordon Smith – Medium “Living” and Doris Stokes – Medium “Deceased” One of then knows the truth, whatever that may be.

Billy Connolly – Fantastic after dinner speaker and all round funny man.

William Shakespeare – I’d like to know where he got is information from.

Re: Dead or alive.
 

What did Jimmy Somerville do to upset you???

I know he used to sing high. Did you have a dog that ran away after you played a Bronski Beat record?

Re: Dead or alive.

ABE LINCOLN
WINSTON CHURCHILL

Re: Dead or alive.
 

Er..... you don't like the ladies?;)

Only joking.

Re: Dead or alive.
 

1. Glenn Miller. So I could find out what really happened to him in 1944.
2. Henry VIII. So I could tell him what a rotten husband he was.
3. Groucho Marx. For wit, style and scintillating conversation
4. Queen Victoria. To see if she could, possibly, be amused.
5. Elvis. So I could drool into my soup.

Re: Dead or alive.
 

Six years later...

:eek:

1. Oscar Wilde could still sup at my table.

2. Alan Bennett, same. He amuses me.

3. Gwyneth Dunwoody, another politican I admired, can have Barbara Castle's seat.

4. Steven Fry. Like Oscar, I'd like to battle my wits against him.

5. Debbie Harry. Interesting life. Plus I've had a crush on her since I was thirteen.

:D

Re: Dead or alive.
 

Not showing off, honest.

Just got to know and meet quite a few people, through work and personally, when I lived in the smoke.

She is absolutely lovely.

I did an impression of her, at the end of the Railway Children, when she runs through the steam to her father. She laughed. I was thrilled.

I was going to do my impersonation from Walkabout.

But it was January, and too cold to take my clothes off.

Re: Dead or alive.
 

Lucky sod, I've dreamt of meeting her since I was 15 when I saw her in Logan's Run....not much chance - don't think she gets up to Accy much!

Re: Dead or alive.
 

That evening sounds like it could end in a fight....and Hammond would probably come off worse!

Re: Dead or alive.
 

A very attractive lady, Steve.

Re: Dead or alive.
 

Emma Thompson - my all time favourite actress, writer, general good person
Marilyn Monroe - fascinating life, if she was sober long enough to tell us about it
Cleopatra - beautiful and powerful
Madonna - well, we'll need someone to entertain us
Jane Austin - she can sign the copy of Pride and Prejudice that I have with me all the time

I wouldn't invite any men because we'd want a good girly gossip.

Rock Hudson - Sigh, gasp, swoon!

Jeff Stryker - An iconic american Gay-for-pay Porn Star (TEN inches! no, really!)
