Your ideal dinner party - 8 guests
You have a dinner party, and may invite 8 guests, dead or alive. They will come, no matter who they are. Also, rules:
Who do you invite? And why? And what do you serve them?
Mine:
David Byrne
Peter Sellers
Philip Larkin
Vladimir Nabokov
Tim Burton
Marquis de Sade
Franz Kafka
Vincent Van Gogh
Runners up: Aleister Crowley, Vincent Price, Billie Holiday, David Mitchell, Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Mel Brookes, Rasputin...
•
Don't choose tactically based on "This person is dead, so I'll invite them over the living person, because I actually have a chance of meeting the latter elsewhere," - that kind of thinking doesn't get you very far in this game, mate.
•
Language barriers do not exist here!
•
No fictional characters.
•
Be honest. I know I could have put down Gandhi and Churchill and whatnot, but I'd rather meet my favourite living artist than every past British Prime Minister put together, frankly.
•
And, if you put down GOD, that's fine - provided you are actually a God-loving Christian/Jew/Muslim/Jedi Knight etc. - i.e. no joking about to 'see if he actually turns up'.
Who do you invite? And why? And what do you serve them?
Mine:
David Byrne
Peter Sellers
Philip Larkin
Vladimir Nabokov
Tim Burton
Marquis de Sade
Franz Kafka
Vincent Van Gogh
Runners up: Aleister Crowley, Vincent Price, Billie Holiday, David Mitchell, Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Mel Brookes, Rasputin...

the entire cast of fight club (or the 8 most important people) for obvious reasons
Oooo I have been meaning to make a thread like this for a while....
Anyway my 8 dinner guests would be;
- Clement Atlee
- John Cleese
- Rik Mayall
- Noam Chomsky
- Coco Chanel
- Billie Joe Armstrong
- Dylan Moran
- Spike Milligan
But there are lots of runners up too! Such as the rest of the Python team, Bill Bailey, Jk Rowling, John Maynard Keynes, Douglas Adams, Morrisey, Ghandi, Che Guevera, David Mitchell.
Not sure how the party would turn out though!
EDIT: How could I forget Oscar Wilde and Noel Fielding?

Hmmm, interesting I like your idea of rasputin but i think he'd scare me off my dinner.
First two would definately be Steve Tyler and daughter Liv, two extremely talented and beautiful people.
Brandon Lee cos he is The Crow and i love him.
Sean Bean - ah Sharpe
Kevin Spacey - he is god on earth, ok he's twice my age but am going marry him.
Sarah Jessica Parker so she could give me style advice ala Carrie Bradshaw
Kim Catrall - my boyfriend loves her and i think she looks amazing for 51, i bet she'd be laugh at the dinner table (maybe not quite in the way Samantha was but still).
Adam Sandler - me and my boyfriend both big fans.

Hmm...
Secondary choices:
Douglas Adams
Jasper Fforde
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Immanuel Kant
That's about it, to be honest. Famous people don't do it for me. So chuck in four real life mates.
My eight would be...
- Sarah Waters
My favourite author who has done extensive research on the topics she addresses and hence would be really interesting to talk to.
- Rosa Parks
Because she is an idol (if that is the right word) of mine. I'd love to see the woman behind the movement and to ask her where she found the strength to stand up for her rights.
- William Wilberforce
Another idol. He was a very passionate, eloquent speaker and he is generally the type of person I would love to know as I share his stance on issues such as freedom.
- Kiefer Sutherland
There has to be a good looking dude at the table lol. Plus, from his biography and his varied film roles, he has had an rollercoaster life and hence would have lots of experiences to talk about.
- Duane Lee Chapman
Similar to the above. His autobiography makes him seem like a very complex person - I'd like to ask him about his religious experience, his criminal life, his job, his family life... Well, everything.
- Ben Harper
He makes great music lol. Plus, at the Jack Johnson concert in Hyde Park, he was talking about some of his views among other things and came across as a really nice guy.
- Paul Laurence Dunbar
Love his poetry. He experienced a lot of suffering and pain in his short life and I'd like to ask him how he dealt with it. Plus, a couple of his poems touch on life after the abolition of slavery in the USA and how to some degree, life didn't change and hence I reckon it would be interesting for him to meet Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King.
- Martin Luther King
A very passionate speaker with strong views and enthusiasm. He must have had a lot of courage and determination and that is something I admire greatly (especially when put to good use).
So yep, that is my ideal dinner party guest list. I think it would be a pretty amazing night...
