Just for a change and to have a break from the negativity on here right now, which 3 people (non BFC) would you invite to a dinner party you were hosting. I know it's old but it can be interesting.

I would invite firstly David Millar the ex cyclist come co commentator on ITV Tour de France and other major cycling events.

Secondly I would invite the late John Peel and pick his brain about all things music.

My main invite and all round person I'd most like to meet would be Michael Palin, the stories he could tell from being a member of Monty Python to his modern day travel experiences around the world and most recently North Korea.

I know not probably anyone else's bag, but that's what it's all about. :geek:

Eric Morcambe

Might not be much eaten but there would probably be plenty drunk and some sore sides by the end of the night.

OK, my picks:

Michelle Obama, Paul Simon and Bill Bryson - sticking with people who are all alive.

As it's a dinner party I assume they would all bring +1.

It would be fun.

Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris who I think are currently two of the best thinkers in the world today plus either the late Tony Benn or Christopher Hitchens.

I would happily just sit back, stuff my face and listen to some amazing conversations

Just ask talk to them about their military careers and stuff.

Sod it, after a few beers would end up asking them if they'd done anal or something

Pretentious tw@ts always go for the like of Hitler and such because they want to 'ask him what drove him to such horror' and other assorted b0llocks, and da Vinci, and Thatcher, and Buddah, and all that crap.

Like, what's wrong with just wanting tea with your Mum and your dead dog? Weirdos.

Edit, oh for ****s sake, Lancaster, you just went and did it. Don't be one of those people, I actually like you, mate.

Parky was a Barnsley supporter and I think boycott was as well, but you were right on one point, they were yorkshires finest.
