[Westdene Seagull]

Couldnt think of anyone worse to have at a dinner party, absolutely repulsive woman. I actually think id rather have a conversation with Hitler than her.

I've seen a number interviews with her and she comes across as a witty and intelligent lady. She's also meant to be a very good writer. You might not agree with her politics but you could argue the same with Churchill and of course Hitler. I picked the people because they are all strong intelligent people. I'm never going to agree with Hitler but he was possibly one of the cleverest politicians of the 20th C.

Kevin Bridges or Henning Wehn

[The Camel]

This may have been done before, but hey, even if it has we can do it all over again.

If you were able to choose any five guests, alive or dead, to invite to your dinner party, who would they be?

After a lot of thought, I'll kick-off with my five . . .

1 ... Gus Poyet. A marmite character who split opinions, with his massive ego, you probably either love him or hate him, not much inbetween, but either way with his Latin temprament an engaging personality I would think.

2 ... Winston Churchill. Possibly on a lot of peoples lists, and recently voted as one of the five greatest Britons of all time, our wartime leader of course, and whilst l am no Conservative, will admit to him being a great politician, and I'm sure a great story teller.

3 ... Rick Stein. My favourite chef, and I just love all of his many tv series, many of which are more like travel blogs than mere cookery programmes. Someone with a lot to say on many subjects I think, and I would love to listen to him.

4 ... Cher. One of my favourite singers, (I just love Divas), what a career she has had, now 72, Cherilyn Sarkisian started off siinging alongside her ex husband Sonny Bono back in the 1960's.

5 ... Malcolm Aldred, Magic Malc as he was known was one of my very best buddies, sadly died in front of me from a heart attack a year ago. A Crystal Palace fan sadly, but an interesting guy, and I miss him terribly.

Who would you invite?

I met Gus in a social situation a few years ago.

He certainly is an interesting guy to talk to and an engaging story teller. Life and soul of the party.

 

[zefarelly]

Keith Floyd is a good shout as is Peter Cook, Tommy Cooper and Bill Hicks would probably be good too

If we were going to have a jam after, Steve Winwood, Ronnie Lane, Jimi Hendrix, Keith moon and Otis Redding. Or just the Faces circa 1973!

 

[Pevenseagull]

Paul Weller
Shane Meadows
Keith Floyd
Sue Lawley
Rolf Lassgård

Shane Meadows is an absolutely lovely bloke, really good company.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Cate Blanchett
Warwick Davies
Tony Hancock
Reece Shearsmith
Laurel & Hardy

(ok, that's 6, but I can share a seat with the lovely Cate)

Would suggest that Laurel & Hardy could share a seat, but I guess Ollie would take up too much of it.
