A Dinner Party
Supposing you could invite five people to a dinner party which you cook yourself, be they dead or still alive, who would you invite?Mine would be:
1. Albert Einstein - for great intellect
2. H G Wells - for futuristic thought provoking
3. Bradley Walsh - for comedy
4. Lindsay Wagner - for gentility
5. Cher - for her long allegiance to the music world
You don't have to disagree with me or discuss my personal options, because those are mine so, what are yours, and why?

My selection would be.1. My paternal great great grandfather, plenty of questions to ask him.
2. Tommy Cooper, even if he didn't open his mouth his facial expressions are enough to make a cat laugh.
3. Brian Boru, the last high King of Ireland to fill me in on that period of Irish history.
4. Brenda Lee in her younger years for the singing.
5. Moses, to ask him what did he do with all that gold from the golden calf, must have weighed a ton, did he open the first Jewellery shop?

My mother - for all the little things we used to talk aboutMozart - for madness and brilliant music
Jeremy Hunt - to tell him how much he is crapping on the NHS
Chopin - to play beautiful music and to meet one of the greatest ever composers
Any one of many great philosophers - to stimulate great conversation
Can I have my dog as well?

I think five is a bit mean to choose from really, as there are lots of others I'd like to discuss with. I should have said 11, shouldn't I?
Yes, five is fairly limited. Maybe we should plan several dinner parties, each with five people, with the challenge of putting together five who might be compatible/complementary?
