your ultimate dinner party

[cadetchris]

given the chance to have anyone from history around for a dinner party, who would you have?

mine would be:

Josiah Wedgewood
James Watt
Richard Trevithick
Brunel (both of them, Marc and Isambard)
Jospeh Paxton
Andre Boulle
Hans Holbein
Thomas Andrews
Alex Issagonis
EJ Smith
Mrs Beeton

and maybe, if one of them wasnt avaliable, i would have to have invite my great great great grand father, Alexander Graham Bell, but only if Nelson was ill or something

What a great idea for discussion. I'll have to get my thinking hat on, but let's hope we get some inspired answers. How about an astronaut who has walked on the moon, or William Shakespeare?

Marylin Munroe, Audrey Hepburn, Xena.......
