Ultimate Dinner Party

My guests (living or dead, actual people or fictional characters) to my ultimate dinner party would include...

The greatest fictional detectives from history:- Holmes, Marple, Scarpetta, Fletcher etc., and slowly murder them off in some sort of ironic, cleudo-styled game. Yes....I'd get some satisfaction from this.

Me, in the kitchen, with the listeria. That'll teach them for tasting the pâté.

Who would you invite and who would cook?

Oi! I have the copyright on starting food related threads.


I'd have God, because he'd turn the tap water into wine, so there'd be wine on tap Boom! Boom!

Gordon Ramsey as my kitchen assistant, So i Can rant and rave at him.


Carl Barat to drool over.

Chastity Dingle, Kate Moss, Beth Ditto, Amy Winehouse. I don't particularly Like them. I just think they ould be fun to get drunk with.

I'd cook Miss Piggy and Kermit for the bar snacks. MmMmm!! Pork Scratchings and frogs legs.

I have a feeling Kate's would be given to Beth. Or rather Beth just takes it.

Does anyone remember that After Eight television advert from a few years ago? It featured Stephen Fry having a dinner party with famous dead people. It was very cleverly made, but I can't find a video of it on the internet :(

Yes I remember that, good advert. Can't remember how it ended, it started like "Darling, do you get the feeling that..."

I'd definitely invite a lot of dead people. That way, I wouldn't have to serve them anything.

"Darling, do you get the feeling that we're living in a dream world?". I loved the bit where Marylin Monroe mentions to Albert Einstein "I hear you work with your relatives". Very nicely made advert.
That's it! I wish there was a copy somewhere. Wasn't there a legendary piano player at the end as well?

Cheers pal! :D

Talking of adverts where dead people have been brought back to life, did you see that amazing Volkswagon ad from a couple of years ago featuring the late Gene Kelly in a modern Singing In The Rain? That was very good, too.
