Who would you invite and why?

S**t!

Gyles Brandreth, he just makes me smile

Elizabeth I , I would love to know what made her tick

Rupert Campbell-Black (Jilly Cooper main character running through all her books) I have had a crush on him since I read Riders many moons ago.

Urmstongran who always seems happy and living her best life.

Romesh Ranganathen, I like his humour,

Vincent Vangogh, to tell him he became a success,

Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights, I do like a dark brooding character.

Maw, for me too, common sense, humour and comes across as genuine.

I'm somewhat unsophisticated in my dinner party companions and because I like children and animals, I would choose:
1. David Attenborough- fascinating
2. Anne Frank because I admire her tenacity, her optimism and her writing
3. Peter Pan for the secret of never growing up
4. Any GNettter who has a sense of humour and likes to discuss good wine

Stephen Mangan - need you ask

Charles II - I have always had a soft spot for him

Ross Poldark - again, need you ask

And, soop. It might have been maw, but I've met her already.

Hugo Bachega

Vincent Van Goch

Oliver Mellors

Fanny Cornforth.

Sorry reason…because I like them .

Gyles Brandreth - I could listen to his wit and wisdom all day .
William Shakespeare - just to compliment him on his genius
Rapunzel - would love to have some of her hair
Smiles - who offers unbiased advice, despite her own difficulties.

Rowen Atkinson because he is so clever and somehow endearing
Charles 11 too because he was intriguing and I would love to know if he stayed in my lane
Alice in wonderland because she had the introduction to magic
And Maw who seems to me to be an asset to this site
