Me
DD
Michelle Obama
Osama Bin Laden
Saddam Hussein
Donald Tusk (my current crush) I'd be sitting next to him.

I would expect a knock at my door from SS for having dead terrorists at the table with dd. [grin}

BunnyJumps · 13/04/2019 01:52

Sir David Attenborough
Simon Cowell
Gabriel Mact
Russell Brand
Meghan Markle
Steve Bagshall

3 boys and 4 girls. I suppose I could leave Angela Merkel out.

The seating would be as follows:

Michelle Obama
Saddam
Donald Tusk
Dd
Me

I think we could get on well!

Off the table for discussion:

Beheadings
Islam
Hunger Strike
Brexit
America
Torture

I think we could have the craic.

Apoiads · 13/04/2019 02:04

I don't think I'd be invited back by anyone. Maybe Donald Tusk.

Seahorseshoe · 13/04/2019 02:07

Jesus

Howard Carter

Queen Elizabeth I and II (I'd like to tell Liz 1 that, even though her father was desperate for a male heir, she was voted as our favourite Monarch). I'd also like to find out what the score was with Robert Dudley and ask her why she didn't marry and have children, given that she was Queen of England.

Maya Angelou - where did all that wisdom come from?

I think I'd like Henry VIII to know that his daughter was our most cherished monarch and drop the mike on him.

Elisabeth Kubler Ross - author on death and dying. Sadly now dead, I think that would be an interesting conversation.

Steve Irwin
David Attenborough
Michael Collins
Emily Pankhurst
Boudicca

Adam Ant
Stephen Fry
Salvador Dali

If someone dropped out, like if Elizabeth I had a better invitation, I think it'd have to be Rick Mayall, God bless him.

Thought the writers would really get on and I would sit entranced.
Clement Attlee would drop pearls of wisdom and Danny and Frank would entertain us all.
I would, of course serve some kind of banquet with something for all to enjoy.
