Fantasy Dinner Party Guest List

Hi there and thanks for stopping by. Recently the lovely Carol over at Virtually All Sorts posted her fantasy dinner party guest list and asked me who I’d have on mine. I have enjoyed having this going through my mind over the past week and I’m pleased to share it with you now….

Firstly it’s got to be Paul Weller, he would smoke, swear and be so cool that I would forget how to eat with a knife and fork and probably miss my mouth when I tried to quaff my wine. I’d love to have him there but I would be a mess so I’m not too sure. I am pretty sure though that I would tell him that I loved him at some inappropriate point in the evening…  English Rose is amazing, have a listen if you can!

Annie Lennox, she’s the striking singer who I am sure would be fascinating to sit next to. I’d have to up my game when it came to interesting topics to talk about. I can only think of my one link to her, which would be that I once sat in a restaurant in Ibiza next to Siobhan Fahey who was married to Dave Stewart who was her partner in the Eurythmics….that should bring the conversation to a shuddering standstill…Ok.. she’s on the ‘maybe’ list.

Tim Peake, wow! 186 days in space aboard the International Space Station is pretty good going. Not content with whizzing around the earth at 17,000 miles an hour, he also ran the london marathon, completed the first spacewalk of a british astronaut and read a bedtime story to millions of children via cbeebies. Furthermore, he comes across as such a likable man. Luckily I won’t have to ask about how to wee in space as he kindly already answered that on one of his many video links, phew! He’s on the list.

My nan, she loved new experiences and would always come out with exactly what was on her mind, she’d be great at keeping the conversations flowing. She would recount tales of her and her best friend going to the dance halls in Poplar in the east end of London before the war and all the wonderfully funny situations they would get themselves into. OK, any ‘maybes’ can now come. I could entertain all of the above people, and more with her by my side as my co-host. I Love and miss her, she was so fab.

What about you, who would be head of the table? I’d love to know.

Just one more thing before you go….incase you weren’t convinced by the first Paul Weller song. I have been listening to him while writing this post, so here’s another little gem for you to have on in the background…

  1. I’d like to go to your dinner party – if only just to see how your nan got on with Paul Weller and Annie Lennox. Mine would be Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Lena Dunham #brillblogposts

  2. This is a great idea for a post! I’ll admit I didn’t really know the people on your list. However I think my husband would agree about the astronaut. #KCACOLS

  3. This sounds like it would be a great dinner party. I think I would choose Tim Peake too. I think on mine would be Michael Buble because he is just beautiful and probably the panel of A league of their own! They make me laugh so much especially freddie flintoff! #kcacols

  4. Love things like this! & I really like the thought of your nan keeping conversation flowing between Tim Peake & Annie Lennox! Not sure who I’d have! Definitely at least one comedian for the humour. & Aidan Turner to look at! #FabFridayPost

  6. ooh I’d have to give this some serious thought but first I want a seat at your table! What a laugh that would be! Thanks for sharing on #fortheloveofBLOG x

  7. Good choices! Me and my husband had a list of who we’d invite to our wedding, I seem to recall it included Brian Cox (the lovely sciency guy, he’s so passionate about everything he talks about), Martin Adams (aka Wolfie, the darts player, he just seems like such a nice chap), Stephen Fry (everyone loves him don’t they), Fred Dibnah (my husband loves steam engines) and I’ve recently added Sarah Burton (because I would love to grill her about the Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding dress). Fab topic #picknmix

    1. What a great list!! I’d ask Brian Cox to come to mine after he’d been to yours, I think he’d get on well with Tim Peakes. Thanks for your fab comments X

  9. Ooh, I love your guest list! Whenever I see one of these posts I try to think of my own – and I’ve still never managed to settle on a list… One day! 🙂

    Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next Sunday!

  10. Ooh such a good question. I love that your nan was on the list she sounds like a giggle. I’d have to say my nan too she was fun. Eddie Izzard, he’s so funny and could tell us all about his marathon running. Maybe Elvis just to see what he was like in real life and Lana Del Rey – serious girl crush. Fab idea for a post! #KCACOLS

  11. This is a great list – Tim Peake especially. Mine would be Stevie Wonder, Sylvia Plath, Robert Kirkman…and James Corden to lighten the mood! #fabfridaypost

  12. Love how you’ve included your Nan. This topic came up last week on #tribalchat and it was really great to see everyone’s weird and wonderful choices. I think mine would have to be:
    Jennifer Lawrance
    Gary Barlow (swoon)
    JK Rowling
    Kate from Hurrah for Gin coz she’s well funny.
    No one in their right mind would want to come here though as my freezer is full of beige food and my kids tend to throw food. Could we eat out? #KCACOLS

    1. Yeah we can eat out, never ending salad bar and free refills at the harvester always sounds good:) glad your kids throw food too, mine hide it aswell!:) thanks for stopping by, Mainy x

  14. Great list and I love the little comments at the end of each one. I’d dare you to mention your tenuous link to Annie Lennox and double dare you to ask that question to Tim Peake anyway… it sounds like your Nan would egg you on in any case! Thanks for this post Mainey. Great that you took part 🙂

    1. Thanks Carol, oh yes I’d be up for a dare! Thanks for including me, I’ve loved writing this one 🙂

  15. I like this idea. I definitely would have my paternal grandad and maternal great grandparents on mine. #kcacols

    1. That sounds lovely:) thanks for taking the time to comment, Mainy 🙂

  16. Fantasy dinner party guest list? That is a great idea really.

    Actual real people I would invite are:
    Jennifer Lawrence, Christoph Waltz, David Attenborough and Laurell K Hamilton.

    However I would love a fictional character dinner party as well:
    Steve Rogers, captain jack harkness, Anita Blake & Clara Oswald! Although saying that there would be a succession of dinner parties with fictional characters, there are so many to chose from!
    #KCACOLS

    1. My goodness thats a good list! captain jack harkness would certainly liven the evening up!;) I had to look up Laurell but I agree, fab to have around a table. Thanks for joining in!:) Mainy

  17. lol! This is so funny! This fantasy dinner thing is so cool! I love Annie Lennox. But I don’t really know she is a bit scary. I think I will have to think about this one. 🙂 #PickNMix

    2. Lol yeah, she does a bit, especially in the video. Thanks for commenting and popping back, Mainy

  18. Aww so sweet you included your nan..I would have my nan at mine too :). Not sure who I’d pick, will have to think about it xx#kcacols k

  19. Can your nan be on my list too? she sounds awesome! I’d just have Ewan McGreggor – he’s the only man I’m legitimately allowed to fancy bacause my husband has a man crush on him too, so I’d invite my hubby too so we can have a flirt-off 😉 #KCACOLS

    1. lol thats brilliant Alex, a flirt off would be a great addition to the night;) Mainy

  22. Ooooh – that’s a difficult one!
    I’d probably go for one of my fave actors like Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt, but I’d find it hard to concentrate!
    David Attenborough because he is just amazing.
    Maybe a Native American Chief?
    Mmmmm, this is tricky!
    Thanks for sharing. Sarah #FabFridayPost

  23. For me it’d have to be:
    1) Tori Amos- my heroine and life long passion in terms of Music.
    2) Jason Manford and Lee Evans together- they would be a good crack right?
    3) My Nan because she would get the chance to meet the kids and I would be able to ask her so many questions I wish I had ‘back then’.

    1. Great list! Really good mix of people and love that your nans there too X
