Eight Dinner Party Guests

ShootersHillGuru

Taking a leaf out of AFKA’s book here in trying to relieve some of the obvious tension everyone is feeling with both Charlton and life in general. Was going to bump a thread with only five guests from 2011 but thought five was a bit stingy and boring so, choose your eight guests not including yourself and significant other. A short reason why for each guest if possible. Here’s my list. 4 men, 4 women. You get to choose who you sit between 

1. Miriam Margolyes - Unbelievable character with great wit and intelligence. A bit outrageous to boot.
2. Lee Mack - Very quick witted and funny man
3. Jennifer Lawrence - Apart from the eye candy she’s a very natural performer and bit of a raconteur. 

4. Prof Brian Cox - Good personality and I would think could have everyone spellbound with his amazing knowledge and stories.

5. Victoria Coren Mitchell - Clever and witty just like her dad was.
6. David Mitchell - They don’t come as a pair (ooh er) but she compliments David very well I think.
7. Sandy Toksvig - Another naturally witty and clever woman. I love her dry sarcastic humour. 
8. Chris Kamara - Charming man with a very interesting back story. 

Sitting between - Jennifer Lawrence and Miriam Margolyes

If not, I'd be so tempted to sack off comedians and raconteurs etc and choose people who were involved in unsolved mysteries and murders, ask them who killed them, what happened....

Or people who died with treasure buried somewhere.

Better use of the "bringing 8 people back for one evening" thing.

I'd have Pol Pot, Trevor Kettle and Cilla Black all sitting in a row. I wouldn't want to talk to any of them I'd just like to take a photograph. I'd, of course have little name plates for them that would caption my picture.

You would have to have some powder room for that mob.  Frank Bough is a great one - never was there a more unlikely sniffer. Fucking fuming I didn’t get an invite.

Lose any 4 of them (apart from Escobar) and replace them with 4 brasses

Terry Pratchett

P G Wodehouse

Agatha Christie

Henry Every/Avery - most famous pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy at the time, specifically excluded from any amnesties offered, for sacking the Mughal Emperor's flagship on its return from the Hajj (and likely rape of one of the Emperor's daughters and lots of ladies of her court) - to find out what happened to him (last believed to have made his way to Ireland).

Edward Teach/Thatch/Blackbeard - to find out who he actually was, and because he was obviously a man for a party.

Archimedes

Any one of the leaders of the White Rose movement, preferably Sophie Scholl, because she was defiantly unafraid in a circumstance that I would have been at best a blubbering wreck.

Hedy Lamarr - glamorous actress and full-time genius.

Jimmy Seed "Well Sporadic, as I was saying we were on track to potentially be the biggest club in the world on a par with Barcelona, Madrid and Manchester United....and then (*pointing across the table to Adolf"*) that lemon decided to throw his toys out of the pram and it somewhat hindered our momentum".

(Mandela, ever the diplomat in an attempt to keep the peace shakes his head but states "At least this way you got Shaun Bartlett")
