    Right…whenever this is asked in the RacinG post..its always Nelson Mandela. Nice bloke and intelligent but a bit boring if you aks me and very doddery. Food spilt everywhere and so on…

    Stephen frys another. BORING. Nicey nicey public schoolboy who will agree with everything you sya and be ever so polite. Fat as well

    Ladies? Well, that has to be one on one doesnt it. Or two on one if lucky…

    Sexist i know, but always found that these sort of gatherings are best all male. Women require attention

    My four would be…

    Billy Connolly. Best racounter and funnist man alive. Love his forthright views too

    Bill Clinton. Hugely intelligent and totally flawed. Great combination and very indiscreet too. Always liked him

    Danny Baker. The shaprest broadcaster in the business and always great for left field views or wandering off at a tangent. Again, highly intelligent and unconventional

    Mike Atherton. Dry wit and racing and cricket man.

    So there we go. Nightmare guests would be Bono, Harriet Harperson and Mel gibson.

    Just off my list, was Mick Jagger. Big cricket man but he doesnt give much away i gather. Very self contained

    Peter Hammill, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie and Billy Connolly.

    Alternatively, Hugh McIlvanney, Sir Peter O’Sullevan, John McCririck and Barney Curley. Ahhh… bliss ! :D

    Margaret Thatcher, Tony Benn, Golda Meir and James Cagney

    The first three being the only politicians I have ever had any respect for, all three I admire for not taking the "easy" option.

    James Cagney because he was, for me, the best actor ever and the only one who has ever had me in uncontrollable floods of tears with a performance.

    Of course I would want all four "at their peak" as it were.

    I remember Cagney appeared on Parkinson not long before his death – I so wish I had never seen it. He was a shadow of himself and it was distressing to see him as he was then (his advisors should have talked him out of doing the show) – I would rather have remembered him as he was.

    Good choice, that. Can’t remember his exact words but I met Tony Benn a couple of years ago and he said how much mutual respect he and Mrs T had for each other; think the pair of them would make very entertaining guests . I alwyas wanted to go to one of his one man shows but always seemed to miss them. He also used to do a few festivals, but I can’t remember the poet/musician that he used to perform with.

    Moe, I’ve seen Tony Been speak a couple of times – Glastonbury and Tolpuddle – but never met him.

    However, my missus has met him quite a few times, in fact she used to pick him up from the train station. I just asked her what he is like and she said: he is a really lovely, lovely old man, is really funny, hates a fuss and is also a right old flirt :shock:

    Did he have a twinkle in his eye when you met him?

    Alas, no one has a twinkle in their eye when they talk to me these days! But he shook my hand and signed a copy of ‘Free at Last’ which the S.O. had bought me the year before. He was surprisingly tall, but seemed quite frail. Whatever anyone feels about him politically, I don’t think that anyone could disagree that all he has ever wanted is a fair and peaceful world for everyone.
