If you could have a meal, beer, wine with up to 4 guests, dead or alive, in addition to Mumf, who would you invite and why?

Winston Churchill, Karl Marx, Adolf Hitler and Ian Hislop ( or Peter Cooke ).
Would not be a bundle of laughs , but could be interesting (or boring!) in some ways.

Peter Ustinov , bet milder , Keith moon , Margaret thatcher , Yes, much better than mine. What would be the main issue for your group Harry, as far as you know,,,, or would you just let it glow? Anything common between them? |

Sir John Betjeman ( poet laureate and architecture conservationist, a truly great Briton), Ian Nairn ( architecture critic and TV presenter, a kind of younger Rock n Roll version of Betjeman), Keith Moon ( as well as being hugely talented, he has a reputation second to none for 'entertainment'), Peter Williams ( motorcycle designer, racer, genius).

I'd invite Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, George bush & Tony Blair. We'd sit there uncomfortably for a good couple of hours before one of them cracks and then there'd be a massive fight to the death. I would be referee, occasionally handing them weapons (not of mass destruction). |

I wasn't going to cook any food because I though they'd all be pissed off with each other but now I'm going to have to come up with something that they can all enjoy? Possibly oatcakes but cheese only, no bacon obviously. Can't have fish either because Bush still doesn't coexist with them peacefully. |
