[Misc] Your Five Fave Dinner Party Guests.

[Cowfold Seagull]

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.

I'd love to hear more about that.

Yet another NSC’er with a great taste in music. Have you read Marr’s autobio? It’s brilliant.

I found it simultaneously riveting (subject matter) and dull (the writing style).

Enjoyed the early life stuff, the formative years, the organic beginnings of the band, the cross-over with Factory / Tony Wilson / Hacienda / Madchester scene, etc,. Lost interest after a bit in the post Smiths stuff, and don't think I actually read all the way to the end. I might try to find where I left it.

1, Peter Cook

2, Spike Milligan

3, Groucho Marx

4, Peter Ustinov

5, Kenneth Williams

reserve would be Andy Kaufman.

I'm sure Gabby will be thrilled to be sat with the sexist, misogynist, woman beating Geoff.

She has interviewed him before and as I alluded to think a strong enough lady with humour to keep GB in his place.

I'm not sure i'd enjoy the exchanges between your choices Ann Widicombe and Hitler though

 

[vegster]

Cate Blanchett
Warwick Davies
Tony Hancock
Reece Shearsmith

Warwick Davies could sit amongst the table decorations surely ?, or maybe in a tureen ?

Could I have Julian, George, Dick and Anne, plus Timmy the dog?

 

[Goldstone1976]

Could I have Julian, George, Dick and Anne, plus Timmy the dog?

around for dinner, I assume? Otherwise - boy, do you have problems.
