What two people would you most like to sit between at a wonderful dinner?

[Blandmum]

Stephen Fry......endlessly interesting

Alan Bennet as above

Or I might just be a fag hag

and you?

(quite a gay little gathering we are collecting )

oh no south east astra, you can't sit next to Julian cope. He may be a rock god but he really is very very unhygienic.

haha how do you know! does he hum

Franny and HC

MB, as far as I am aware, a 'Python swap' between courses is most etiquettical (have I just invented a word?)

Aha! One passes the python to the left, without letting them touch the table!

Or the spam

Greeny you are a darling

saw him in concert a couple of years ago and you could smell him from the audience.

i am struggling to suggest any other fascinating men - so can bianca jagger and charlotte rampling be invited?

Sandi Toksvig would be a laugh and could be relied upon to keep her mits off the few straight men that we will invite

Sheila Hancock and Dawn French.

Philip and Fern

oh i touched his arse at a concert, i wasn't hit by his smell haha

Kiefer Sutherland (Jack Bauer always for me) and Justin Timberlake.... and they would feed me grapes ... mmmmm

PJ O'Rourke & Johnny Depp,with AA Gill opposite.

I toyed with old PJ myself, can I sit opposite you???

Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers etc) for the stare in lust awe and wonder, and - like everyone else, Stephen Fry. John Peel would have been interesting and amusing company too.

the queen and eddie izzard

Yes MB,I'm quite partial to Stephen Fry myself.

Russell Brand and Jamie Oliver. Madness and saneness. (and both not excatly ugly...)

Terry Pratchett and Germaine Greer. Entertaining, clever, what more do you want? I'd like Alan Rickman opposite, too, just so I can look at him (TP and GG would keep me too busy to stare at him in scary fan style).

This is going to be quite a challenging seating plan!

Bob Geldof and Davina
