Bloody hell. I do know that honest!! I should have re read before I posted. She would never eat to be my friend, my stupidity would piss her off.

I’ll let you off! Great choice though, I’d love to know her if she were real!

Rockbird · 13/02/2023 08:06

There's an awful lot of us going out for a piss up with Liz, we'd better book a function room Grin

Athena Grant - 911
Sherlock Holmes - can I be greedy and have Jeremy Brett for dinner parties and Jonny Lee Miller for everything else

@Vegansausagevole i fully approve of your intentions for Jonny Lee Millar therefore your request is granted 🤣

I can’t see any votes for Saga Noren from “the bridge” who immediately sprang to mind for me

Treaclemine · 13/02/2023 13:29

I'm beginning t suspect that lurking male is someone I've made up, and I am, as an adult, giving space to an imaginary friend. Oh dear. I had one when I was too young to remember, "Little Boy Moon", a lonely child with a song about him, manifested as a red ball with a face, about five inches in diameter. Possibly he was me. Thank goodness that was then, not now.

Granny Wetherwax
Miss Marple ( as played by Joan Hickson)

Fortunately I won't have to leave out Nanny Ogg as she would turn up regardless. Hopefully with a jug of apple scumble cider.

That's a very good point - you'd not keep her out. I expect she'd be teaching Miss Marple the hedgehog song before the evening was half way through!

QueenofallIsee · 13/02/2023 14:00

Rebecca De Winter, I want to understand her and her charm and her wit.

God from the Bible.

Love your last one.
Personally I would really like to meet him/ her / it and have a serious discussion.

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 13/02/2023 14:39

Being friends with Strike would be great, you could tell him to get his act together and get it in with Robin!

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 13/02/2023 14:39

Hmm. Do they have to be friends with one another too? Because I can’t imagine Mrs Dalloway and Mary Poppins being able to stand one another for longer than about five minutes. Unless Paddington could reconcile them.

Stinkymalinkyfromdownthelane · 13/02/2023 21:36

Thinking about this alot! Really difficult to decide there's so many! Can you imagine a dinner party with adrian mole/ pandora braithwaite 😄 meeting molly millions or characters from fairy tales like wayland or baba yaga?!? Still going to stick with my DWJ top two from earlier tho.

@PerilousCorridor No they don't have to be friends with each other, I tend to compartmentalise my friends, but Mary P would be fine with Paddington, they could have a picnic together. I am now wondering how conversation between Mrs D and Mary P would go.
