View Full Version : Who would you like to invite around for Dinner ?
I like playing poker and I like chatting with interesting people. Monthly I combine both and throw Poker Dinner parties, if you could invite anyone alive or dead for a spot of Dinner, Drinking and a game of poker who would you invite and why? Poker table only really holds 8 people, 9 at a push and for the 9th person you would really need to justify their inclusion.
Heres my Guest list.
1. Alan Watts – Free Thinker
Came across this bloke today, seems like a very intelligent and interesting fella. Heres one of his google videos http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2006926575008842451&q=Alan+Watt
2. Edward Bernays – Psychologist perhaps not sure what title to give this geezer
In my opinion the most important man in History nobody has heard of. The Original puppet master, inventor of the strings which interact with your and mine desires, The magician which created the illusion of choice on a global scale.
3. Albert Einstein – Fully Fledged Genius
How the excuse my French fuck he came up with his ideas on the “Universal” laws he outlined is amazing. Even his biggest mistake has turned out to be profoundly insightful if that makes sense. Would love to ask if in fact his better half was actually the brains of the operation which some alternative scientific historians seem to believe.
4. Bill Clinton – Modern Day Political Genius
For me and an uneasy of marriage of real political consciousness with down to earth know how, on what lies needed to be told within in the system in order to do “some” good. For me Inventor of Pepsi Politics or at the very least the first successful test case. Rhodes Scholar, Sax player, leader of the known world (some would have you believe) and still comes across as a bloke I could enjoy a drink with, perhaps not a beer but definitely a decent scotch.
5. Goldie Hawn – Actress and long term eye candy
Ok so I know she is well old in the tooth now *to some, but if you have ever seen her interviewed your would realize that not only is she, perhaps more accurately, used to be very easy on the eye, she is a bundle of positive energy and intelligent to boot. Vivacious, Witty, compassionate, humble with a lust for life. What’s not to like and I would need something to balance out all the Beardie types
6. Ian Xel Lungold – Free thinker
Mayan Historian, intellectual, philosopher and all round nice bloke.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6681910439634411366&q=Ian+Xel+Lungold
Check it out
7. Shanks – Football Management Genius
I would love to pick his brains on how he got the best out of people because at the end of the day that is what is boils down to. Rafa, O’Niell, Ferguson, Wenger, Paisley and begrudgingly Jose, although he is the least qualified of the aforementioned group, all have one unifying quality. The ability to develop young boys into men
8. MrNice – Howard Marks – Respectable Geezer Been there Know that kind of chap – International Drug Dealer of Much Acclaim – Oxford or perhaps Cambridge Grad and on a scholarship to boot !!! (cant be arsed to yahoo it(don’t use the phrase Google it they want you to cultivate that idea of fact affirmation) hey that was a bracket within a bracket) I am now on the sauce and the effects are kicking in, of the sauce taking that is, when I started this topic a couple of hours ago I was sauce free presently I can tell thee I am not. ) Fuck me where to start old Howard – read his book you lazy ….. . His story about the IRA thick arms dealer and pornography tapes cracks me up to this day
Special invite goes to ..
Best throw another lady in there to stop it turning into some male driven intellectual circle jerk. Fuck it ! lets invite Marilyn Monroe just to turn all these clever types into babbling fools. Very clever, manipulator of her own public image, sexy smart and deeply insightful.
:handshake:

Sorry just read this and I am wrong, or I have phrased it wrong. The ability I speak of is not the one to get the best out of boys to men, we have people like the genius that is Liam Brady at Arsenal that can do this.. forget spending 6 million on some untried wiper snapper from brazil, offer Mr. Brady a figure he cant refuse ! The job of a manager is to take a group of men not boys and lead them into one hell of a battle. To instill in them the inner believe that they can do it. That even though the obstacles seem insurmountable, they because they are made of the right stuff can do it. To show them the right way, to outline how they can achieve their goals, to never waver, never question, to be always be strong when sometimes they are weak … Yes people I am well and truly fucked now … I bid you adieu :rock:

David Attenborough, world renowned naturalist a pioneer of modern zoology and a televisual genius. Responsible for not just some of the best made and intelligent documentrys ever made, but as the first controller of BBC2 he also created Match of the Day and Top of the Pops and although these programs are not what they where, at the time they where ground breaking.
You have to hypothetically invite 8 fucking people otherwise its a bit shit with just two of you there ....
I'll haven't gave this much thought. Straight off my doped noggun' ...
Tom Waits (musical genius, but genuine good company, he'd have to bang out a few tunes).
Keith 'the loon' Moon (someone to out-drink me and not give a fuck!).
Iain Banks (Intelligent, but not too much so. He may well bore me, but he'd bring a cracking malt).
Hunter ST (if dead people are evidently allowed).
Ken Loach. (so many questions; some humility to the proceedings).
Billy Collonoly (splash of humour).
Richard Pryor (token black person - and he'd giggle at that, he'd giggle at anything).
Kate Hudson (if she still has those Almost Famous looks, then i can think of no better lady to make eyes at during dinner).
Haven't gave that much thought, but that would be a cracking night! Good mix and they'd all get along, i think. Wholly Scottish/American which is strange.
Special invite - Rafa. Another bore, but i'd have a few questions, he'd have to answer or i'd set the Moon on him.
Ps. Mr Nice is a stonking read Mr. Nice.
You have to hypothetically invite 8 fucking people otherwise its a bit shit with just two of you there ....
Yeah for the fuckers that get invited to that swaray. Listening to those babbling on about badgers and such like. :shake:

Tom Waits
Legend, nuff said. Although, I'd have to resurrect his drinking days, which shouldn't be a problem.
Jimi Hendrix
Legend, nuff said. Absolute legend. A childhood hero.
Jim Morrison
Legend, nuff said. All you bastards who were lucky enough to have been alive in the 60s should call yourself lucky. Icons like Jim/Jimi...man
Johnny Depp.
A total legend, a champion of champions.
Kool Keith
Because he's the most eccentric, off-his-nut artist who is the real deal. He taught hiphop what it's all about, plus he owns his own porn company.
"Voicemail, pagers...these are the things that robots carry"
"I'm in the club, naked, man I'm the fuckin' pro"
"I pioneered this shit, you keep on suckin' dick" :rock:
Hm, who else... a jam-session with those chaps would be ace, need some serious dub-bass in there as well...
They'd all be be bringing their entourage as well, so I assume it'd be a proper sweet session...don't know about any of the philosophical types, seeing as we'd probably be sweeping the floor with drinks and drugs, I don't know... :cool:
On a different day it'd be different people, mood-swings and all that, I was going to include that bird I got off with on my way to Hong Kong - easily old enough to be my mum but the fittest Italian bint ever, but I don't know. I know quite little actually.
Probably not the reply you were looking for Nicey lol :D

Izembard Kingdom Brunel - forerunner of the most industrious period of our great nation, would be intrigued to know his opinions of modern day engineering and what he would be capable of with the tools we have at our disposal in these times.
Dave Ghrol - one of my musical heroes and from what i percieve, a genuine guy also.
Richard Branson - again, a personal hero of mine, would love to have even 25% of his business acumen.
Bob Paisley - the man who took over from Shanks. What was it like steeping into the great mans shoes?
Phil Hellmuth jr - One of the best No Limit poker players to grace the felt. His ability to read people and put them on their hands is unrivaled.
Gary Oldman - Probably my favourite actor of all time. Would have him there purely to meet the man.
Angelina Jolie - behind the come to bed eyes and blow job lips is a deceptivley intelligent person.
Finally, for a wild card, i'd have to add Michael Palin. The perfect person to kick off any topological discussion.
Dinner Party for Eight you say - here goes...
1) Stephen Fry - (Although not during his depression times) Highly intelligent, very funny, and very sharp. Probably the perfect dinner guest.
2) Rafa Benitez - Should the conversation veer towards football, would love to hear his thoughts on the game and the history of LFC.
3) Sir David Attenborough - Virtually unique in broadcasting and a complete institution. Would love to talk Animals with him around.
4) Ewan McGregor - Seems like a really, really sound bloke. Up for a giggle, and would love to hear some stories of his round the world Bike Trip and his experiences of Hollywood.
5) Kelly Brook - To sit directly across from me, in a low cut top. Obvious.
6) Sean Locke - One of the funniest guys around, would go down a storm at this dinner party!
7) Reinhold Messner - First man to 'bag' all the 8000 metre peaks in the world, just to be in the same room as him would be awe-inspiring.
8) Ellen MacArthur - Chat to her about her round the world voyage.
Plenty of vimto and cheesy puff corn snacks and I am set.

Jonathan Carroll - novelist, his books are 3 parts fiction, 1 part horror and 1 part fantasy. A fantastic storyteller.
Annie Leibovitz - famous photographer, the people she's photographed reads like a who's who's list. She's bound to have some great tales to tell. Plus she could answer my amateur photography questions.
Phil Lynott - from legendary Irish group Thin Lizzy. Would love to have met the guy.
Iggy Pop - the man must have packed 5 lifetimes into one. I saw him play in 1996 on his 49th birthday in San Francisco, and the bastard had more balled up energy at age almost 50 than I've ever had.
Billy Connolly - seen him on stage live a couple of times, he will inject some welcome humour into the evening.
Dalglish - what self-respecting Liverpool fan wouldn't want to meet him ? I'd have to insist that he wears his no.7 shirt during the meal just for effect.
Salma Hayek - would add some Latin flair into the conversation. Amongst other things..
Lastly, a wild card - my friend Jim C. Was one of my best mates growing up, inexplicably about 5 years ago cut himself off from all contact with anyone he knew and currently lives in practical isolation. What dinner is complete without having a few drinks with an old friend rehashing old, embarassing stories ?
Neil Young
05-12-06, 03:19 PM
1. Neil Young. It would be stupid of me not to.

At least you'd have a 2 in 3 chance of getting your end away.
3 in 3 if you slipped Neil some rohypnol
Neil Young
05-12-06, 04:05 PM
To be honest, glynn, I don't feel very comfortable with the idea of using Rohypnol. Also, my love for Neil is not something I wish to express carnally.
You think I have a 2 in 3 chance? Given that rushy says his SILILF is a happily married woman, young Marky might think you're being a bit disrespectful to his mum. Then again, if Marky himself going to be disrespectful to women...

05-12-06, 04:40 PM
1. John Stewart
2. David Letterman

-De Niro - Legend of the cinema, and even if he's as dull as I suspect, it would still be a honour.
-Dylan - He's lived a life unlike any other.
-Henry Rollins - Bound to have some good stories, and he'd get the others talking, no doubt.
-Vincent Gallo - Very funny, and bound to liven things up. Plus, Brown Bunny: bold artistic statement, or piss-take? The question would have to be asked.
-Morrissey - Rollins has spent 20 years taking the piss out of Steven Patrick... it would be an amusing meeting, surely.
-Green Gartside - He's a hero, and it would be cool to hear what he has to say about modern pop music, etc.
-Quintus Horatius Flaccus- A dead poet, he could finish off my thesis about him. Before inevitably someone would sneeze and kill him again.
-Madonna - Most famous woman of the last century. But if she comes round here and starts spouting her kaballah nonsense, I'll be like "Oi Madonna, no! You naive twat!"

Anyway, i'd like to have Larry David round for dinner in a heterosexual kind of way. He's bloody hilarious. Hope it goes better than his lunch in the "Thong" episode though :haha:

Smart move not to invite any poker players to dinner. You've gone out your way to host them so you dont want no card playing punk beating you in the afters!
Still, that said, I'd invite Stuey Ungar. Genius on the felt, psychologically flawed away from it. I think it would be interesting to hear some of his thoughts.
Gambon has always seemed a great laugh when he has guested on Top Gear. Whether his tales are true or not he'd have something funny to say!
Sir Ranulph - legend
Michael Owen - I'd like to tell him to STFU. I also hear he is rich, likes to gamble, and is crap at cards
Stephen Fry - Funny and Interesting
Alan Turing - Mathamatician, Computer Tech, Codebreaker.
Lauren Laverne - eye candy

You can choose any woman to invite for dinner and choose her? :D
My dinner list would go something like this:
King Kenny
Rafa
Noah Lennox
Stephen Fry
Sir David Attenborough
Zooey Deschanel
Scarlett Johansson
Joanna Newsom
That just about covers all my interests :D
Hmmm reading through the previous posts has made me think of more :o
So I'd replace my existing table with one of those extending ones, allowing me to invite two more guests.
Brian Wilson

29-09-11, 10:15 AM
Is this related to your new job?
i have met S Fry. i even had a beer with him sort of
You served him at a bar?
Is this related to your new job?
nope.
You served him at a bar?
no. if you remember when he went missing his first "public" event was at dundee university where he was rector.
At that time i was a student there.
the first time i saw him was in the gents strangely. he was at the next urinal. obviously just wondered who the hugely tall bloke was. on walking out after washing my hands i saw him so said hello and he replied.
when in the bar called the liar (after his book) he bought everyone in there a beer ( there were about 20 people in at that time so it was empty hence the sort of had a beer with him.
was gutted i couldnt get tickets to his speech they sold out very quickly.
Cool :D
Would love to meet him properly.
Brian Cox - Pretty Interesting bloke and a small man crush on him
Ricky Gervais - Think he is funny, and seems pretty educated too, so conversation would be interesting.
Robin Pecknold - Just for some background music.
Ian Mckellen(sp?) - Seems like a guy with a few good stories.
Ian Botham - One of my sporting Heros outside of Football
John Barnes - My favorite player of all time :rock:
Rafa - So he can show us formations with the condiments
John Malkovich - Funny guy
Bit of a random mix, suppose if I spent more time thinking I could come up with better.
Edit: Alan Partridge - Need I say anything??
Cool :D
Would love to meet him properly.
he seemed very introverted and extremely polite. i did speak to him but cant remember the conversation (unlike the conversation with Leo sayer in a lap dancing bar, or when i blocked Clive Lloyd the cricketer in a car parking space)
i would imagine he (SF) could talk for hours about virtually anything

Dunno man. He's like Mourinho - when you haven't heard anything from him for a while he takes on a kind of faultless, nostalgia-ridden aura of charisma and interestingness. Then he comes back into the limelight and you realise he's a cunt.
OK. Only one for me. Mike Patton.
Would probably have to serve a plate of shit though.

Nannie Doss (November 4, 1905[1] – June 2, 1965[2]) was a serial killer responsible for the deaths of eleven people between the 1920s and 1954.[3]
She finally confessed to the murders in October 1954, when her fifth husband had died in a small hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In all, it was revealed that she had killed four husbands, two children, her two sisters, her mother, a grandson and a nephew. It is prophesied she will return to kill Thatcher, Cameron, Osborne, McKenzie and Noel Edmonds.
