I have Stephen Fry, Eddie Izzard and Chris Evans on my guest list. But I really want Gary Barlow to come too, so I've decided that Stephen has to go. AIBU? Confused

Eddie's coming to my party instead so you don't need to worry - you'll have a spare seat.

You could have let me down gently Nancy.

Naicepig That was Brian Harvey! That is possibly my favourite celebrity story of all time.

SirBoobAlot · 01/02/2013 15:09

Stephen and Eddie can come to mine. You have keep the other two you weirdo. Hugh Laurie will also be attending.

KurriKurri · 01/02/2013 15:40

Four chairs = Stephen, Eddie, Sue perkins, Clare Balding, and you on Eddie's lap. Gary is on piano with a plate of buffet food.

Oh dear, there's no room for Chris, - shame.

MardyBraWouldDoEddieRedmayne · 01/02/2013 16:22

It's tricky to get low carb buffet food. Poor Gazza.

Geranium3 · 01/02/2013 16:25

I'm just gonna invite gary!!!!

MardyBraWouldDoEddieRedmayne · 01/02/2013 17:18

Do the guests have to be alive?

KurriKurri · 01/02/2013 17:30

If they were dead, Gary could play one of his decompositions for them. Grin

MardyBraWouldDoEddieANDHully · 02/02/2013 00:11

Obviously I'm not talking corpses. Just whether we could have historical figures at a notional party.

I'm going to add Gary Barlow to my dinner party guest list seeing as one of mine can't make it. Well he died.

It would have been Michael Winner.

Gary can tinkle the ivories after dinner and we'll all sing along to Back for Good.

legalalien · 02/02/2013 08:03

Maryz that's weird, all your guests are on my constantly being updated fantasy dinner party list. I am also inviting Alexander mccall smith, and maybe David bellamy. Perhaps you would like to join us?

JeezyOrangePips · 02/02/2013 08:05

Gary Barlow would not be getting the leftovers from my dinner party. He is dull, patronising and thinks the world of himself.

It's easy to decide who I don't want, far harder to whittle it down to just four.

Can I have a garden party instead?
