"I thought it might be fun to draw up a list of terrible dinner party guests" says Rupert Hawksley in the Indy recently.

Who would you invite to a sit-down dinner party and why?

MissAdventure Thu 11-Mar-21 23:40:52

Foodies? Foodwise!

MissAdventure Thu 11-Mar-21 23:40:12

Well, at least she's easily pleased, foodies then. smile
Just as well since I can't cook/won't cook.

Callistemon Thu 11-Mar-21 23:35:42

Janet St Porter
Don't let her do the cooking, MissA she eats roadkill. You don't know how long it might have been knocking around at the side of the road.

Callistemon Thu 11-Mar-21 23:33:42

Do you mind if I go down to the pub and leave you all to it? With Monty Don please, Greyduster!
Are you coming Lisagran and Dottydots?

MissAdventure Thu 11-Mar-21 23:32:04

Oh, Morrissey and Jarvis Cocker, just for fun, too.

MissAdventure Thu 11-Mar-21 23:29:46

Hmm..
John McCririck, the Krankies, someone from TOWIE, Frankie Boyle, Janet St Porter, Jane Macdonald, Ricky Gervais and Dominic Cummings.

Oh yes, add Kenneth Branagh. Can't bear the smug, self satisfied, self-aggrandizing a**e.

It’s my dinner party! and I’ll drool if I want to!

LauraNorder Thu 11-Mar-21 22:27:36

If you’re having the dinner party from hell grandmajet you can’t have someone to drool over.

grandmajet Thu 11-Mar-21 19:13:20

Ooh, who to choose.
Jeremy Corbyn, can he really be as miserable as he looks.
Jeremy Clarkson, should have a good argument with the other Jeremy.
Gemma Collins, no explanation needed!
Emma Thompson, so holier than thou.
Gillian McKeith, to sneer at the food and peer into the toilet!
Rene Jean Page - just for me to look at!

I invite friends for a meal and go to the local chippy.

Lisagran Thu 11-Mar-21 18:48:09

Good grief, kittylester! Standards, girl, standards! grin

kittylester Thu 11-Mar-21 18:42:56

Me too charley.

Who does dinner parties nowadays any way. We eat in the kitchen - no starters, simple main course and bought pudding. A friend forgot the puddings once so we all had magnums!! Think it might catch on!

Monty Don is adorable. I'd have a meal with him any time!

Lisagran Thu 11-Mar-21 18:07:31

Sorry to persue it, Greyduster, but what is it about Monty Don?

EllanVannin Thu 11-Mar-21 18:06:56

Majority of the wannabees.
I can count on one hand those who I have time for.

Calendargirl Thu 11-Mar-21 17:51:03

the woman from the one show with a voice that could cut glass

Oh yes!

Greyduster Thu 11-Mar-21 17:48:45

Sorry! Absolutely Monty Don!

Lisagran Thu 11-Mar-21 17:31:39

Oh, Greyduster, Monty Don?!

Greyduster Thu 11-Mar-21 16:38:24

Mine would have to be Greg Wallace, Monty Don, Chris Packham, Dianne Abbot, Ricky Gervaise, Mary Berry, Greta Thunberg, and Allan Carr (I desperately want to shove a sock in his chatty mouth!).

Extra table, please, for GagaJo?
Alan Sugar, Scarlett? (from Gogglebox), David Icke, Sacha Baron Cohen, Melania Trump and Ruby Wax to umpire❤️.
