To ask who you'd like most to come round for Christmas dinner?

[savagebaggagemaster]

This is a lighthearted thread for a bit of fun.
I'd love to know who you would invite and why.
I'll start. I'd invite the Dalai Lama because I'm sure he would put everything that stresses me out into perspective.

Not lighthearted but… my dad (very severe end stage dementia and has been in a home for 6 years), and my darling mum who died of Covid in January. I miss her so much every day and she loved Xmas day

Princess Anne (and all her lovely dogs)
Captain sensible
Morten harket
Jon Lydon

John Finnemore, his work is so
Gentle, witty and intelligent

My brother. Who should have been but he got covid.

Other than that David Bowie, Captain Jack Sparrow and the Italian Eurovision singery man.

David Hockney. Think he would be really interesting to talk to.

@ChampagneCommunist

Claudia Winkleman - I bet she'd be a real hoot!

I second Claudia...she's fabulous!!

Margaret Thatcher, Dennis Thatcher, Mark Thatcher and ……….. Carol Thatcher.

Basically, the Thatchers.

inter alia - Miriam Margolys - she always seems to have a funny anecdote

I would choose my late grandparents - to relive childhood Christmases. They died at the turn of the century.

Sorry PPs.... Louis Theroux is at my table this year......!! Well his double is 🤣 my husband is the absolute double of him, just not quite as tall....

@savagebaggagemaster

Daniel Ricciardo would be a lovely addition to any Christmas table!

@savagebaggagemaster he's just Devine isn't he??? He just makes me smile all the time!!! Him and wee Lando (who I think is the double of Dustin from stranger things......) wonder if they will duet never ending story 🤣🤣 (you'll know what I mean if you've watched ST)

A chef, complete with provisions and equipment, so I can put my feet up tomorrow

My dad. He died in December 2019.

Larry David, Jeff and Leon

I wish we were seeing my two DDs, their partners and my 2 DGSons.

Thanks to Covid concerns younger DD2 is staying home with her partner and going to his Mums tomorrow. Older DD1 with DGSons has gone, as they do every Xmas, to inlaws in Wales. They never spend Xmas in their own home as there is a huge family including two cousins the same age as DGSons in Wales, and they won't come to us ever. We are only an hour's drive away, unlike Wales which is 4 -5 hours.

Am sad but DD1 just says by going to Wales she gets a break because there are so many people there to keep kids entertained.

Maybe a bit obscure but I would chose Laura Richards of Crime Analyst (Podcast). She is a true champion of women, speaks so eloquently and I find her really interesting. I imagine she is quite good fun too. I wish she was my friend!
