A hyperthetical dinner for six guests and you can invite any six people you like...dead or alive.

I'd go with:

Moi
Maria [wife]
Richard Wagner
Helen Clark [current NZ Prime Minister]
Frank Sinatra
Robert Schumann

Your turn  ;)

Me, the wife, Stephen Fry, Virginia Woolf, Victoria Wood and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Should be a recipe for an interesting evening. ;D

Pavarotti and his wife (are going to do the cooking), Richard and Cosima Wagner (they will do the dishes), Furtwangler (he'll keep the conversation going) and myself (I'm the one evesdropping in the corner).

A hypothetical dinner for six guests and you can invite any six people you like...dead or alive.

Well let me say I'd like all my guests to be alive.


1) Hilary Hahn (for intellectual and visual stimulation)
2) John Lennon (for wit and social conscience)
3) Mozart (he loved a good party)
4) Jeremy Brett (for his love of life)
5) Tom Baker (for the great over the top stories)
6) Pam Stone (for the jokes)

Cary Grant (the smartass)
Bette Davis (the foil)
Franz Liszt (providing the entertainment)
Orson Welles (the cognoscente)
Mario Batali (the chef)


After dinner, Cary, Orson, Mario and I would take to our pipes while a Bette (who had a little too much of Mario's grappa) sits on the piano bench with Liszt as he plays for her his Liebestraum... again, and again...  8)

1. Me
2. Significant other (a cook)
3. Hector Berlioz (story-teller and swashbuckler)
4. Franz Liszt (musician and swashbuckler elite)
5. Anton Webern (a guide)
6. Lord Byron (inspiration, entertainment)

Our meal will be a picnic. We will hike overnight in Italy, exposed to the elements, shooting any woodland creature we come across with flintlock pistols, and storing them in a bag. We will sleep in a field. The following morning we will go to a cemetary to find skulls to use as bowls for the broth we make from the rabbits, and keep them as mementos.
