Top 5 Famous Dinner Guests

So, I’m stealing this off Liberty who stole it off Ivy who apparently got it off Paula(…and I’ll stop there)…

I started to think about this and came up with about twenty people, so if anyone was unable to come I have back-ups. Though quite why anyone would turn down the opportunity to have dinner with little old me I have no idea 😉

So here they are, my Top 5 Famous Dinner Guests:

David Attenborough

I know, I know, David Attenborough must be on so many people’s lists but he’s a no-brainer for me. Not only does he have one of those voices that you could listen to for hours regardless of what he was saying but I imagine he’s also a very interesting person. Particularly if you are a bit of a wildlife nut, like me.

 

Neil Gaiman (oh, and Cabal and Lola too)

This man’s books are brilliant. Fact. They open my mind, my eyes and my imagination. They make me laugh out loud, shudder in disgust, wince along with characters and even, on occasion, cry. The chance to talk to the mind behind them would be beyond awesome. Not to mention the fact that his blog and tweets prove that he is very definitely human and very definitely as awesome as his books.

Cabal and Lola are far too beautiful to be left out of the dinner party, even if they don’t really count in the 5. You have seen them, right?

Mike Rosenberg

Who? Mike Rosenberg is the lead singer of Passenger, one of my favourite bands. He is essential to the party list for entertainment purposes. What is dinner without music? And his music is fantastic.

 

Nigel Hinton

Nigel Hinton is responsible for one of my all-time favourite children’s book series ‘Beaver Towers‘ and I would absolutely love to meet him. Even if it was just to squeak at him about how much I adored Baby B…

 

Ben Miller

(I can hear you sniggering, Liberty.)

Ben Miller is on my list because I completely adore him. Okay? That’s it. I fell in love with him when he was in Johnny English, then utterly more so when he was in Doc. Martin and his best friend was an invisible squirrel of large proportions (this kind of thing instantly endears me to people…don’t ask) and now, the icing on the cake? He is in Primeval. Which is made of awesome. And has dinosaurs. And Ben Miller. And dinosaurs…

 

However, should this dinner party ever come into reality it would be a disaster because I would be a gibbering, strawberry-coloured wreck in a corner totally incapable of coherent speech or, probably, any kind of movement that didn’t involve falling on my face/dropping things. And if I were in charge of the cooking, well…Supernoodles anyone?

That’s my list – what’s yours?
