Who would you invite to dinner?
- Thread starter Julia
- Start date
I'd invite Manny & Julie Cassamatis, a couple of the more vocal Stormers from over on the Storm Financial thread, and Garpal Gumnut just to stir things along. Not that I think much stirring along would be required.
But first I'd take out extra insurance on my house in case it got wrecked in the melee.

Possibly a pointless exercise given the recent memory failure of the Cassamatii. Perhaps you should also invite a pyschic or mind-reader of some sort, or better yet - an expert inquisitor complete with polygraph and assorted tools guaranteed to assist with recollection of facts.
:topicAh but that does not state the mother's religion or father's nationality or that young Steve is half Jewish.
i do believe you have assumed that the father's religion has been passed down.

My wife wants to get involved in the discussion.
Her dinner party which I would have to attend and just between us would not be as exciting as mine would be as follows.
1. Terry Fox who as an amputee ran a marathon a day for 300 days across Canada to raise money for cancer. He died short of his goal but his foundation lives on.
2. Sir Edmond Hillary because he is a pioneer of the N.Z adventurer. (Shes a kiwi)
3. Sir Peter Blake for winning the America's cup for N.Z.
4. Chrissie Wellington because she is a third time winner of the Kona iron man.
5. Chris Moon as he walks the talk. He's survived kidnap, threatened execution, being blown up, losing his limbs and most of his blood. He ran a marathon less than a year after leaving hospital, tested artificial limbs to new limits, run most of the world's toughest ultra distance races, climbed mountains, crossed countries on foot, written books and most importantly used his experience to understand and illustrate the process of achievement.
Actually that's allot better than mine! I'm so lucky I married well

Um, with apologies for my ignorance, who is Don King?I am aiming to be the "Don King" of dinner dates when i grow up
DocK, sorry, you can have Jamie Oliver as a guest but the position of Chef has already been offered - courtesy gg - to Sigmund Freud.
Drug fuelled or not, that bunch produced some magnificent writing.
For that matter, no one has suggested Timothy Leary.
Dowdy, wash your mouth out. Robots would be the making of any dinner party.
Yep, I wondered about that earlier. Not too late to invite him.
Fine, as long as you are happy to negotiate the role with Sigmund.
I dare not refuse gg his choice of chef, considering the power and influence he wields.
And gg, will garpaldog get on with gumbydog, do you think?

garpaldog gets on with everyone and every dog. He's a good dog. And he's seen plenty of parties so he'll probably just go asleep even if Hunter turns up and gets too stoned and trigger happy.

Well actually Doc, I had you and Harleyquin in mind as the vocal Stormers I'd invite. And possibly Ironhalo as well, but then GG wouldn't be able to come cos we'd have more than five including Manny & Julie.
But perhaps Julia would allow me to stretch the number out to six.
As for 'assorted tools guaranteed to assist with recollection of facts'.....in my shed I have pretty much everything you'd need....hammers, drills, bolt cutters, crow bars etc. I even have one of those electric cattle prods if you think that would be of assistance in jolting a couple of memories.
Awww shucks Bunyip, awfully nice of you to invite me, but I'm afraid I don't have the stomach to carry out proposed inquisition myself, and the company would probably put me off my food. I do love a good dinner party and prefer to do justice to the food - especially since Sigmund is apparently cooking (although I do still rather think Jamie may do a better job in the kitchen - perhaps Sigmund could do dessert and therapy for all at the end of proceedings - even manny & jules). Now Ironhalo has a military background I believe, so may be the man for the job - especially if we can induce Julia to stretch the numbers further to allow Ron Jelich a seat as well
Actually, on second thoughts, it may not be a good idea to have too many ex-stormers at the table, lest they start squabbling amongst themselves - or even, dare I suggest it, with the host
People sometimes forget their manners once the wine has been flowing, so if Siggy does a few courses there's no telling what could happen by the end of the meal. Maybe we should just leave manny & julie to ASIC et al (but you could offer to lend them the goodies in your shed )Awww shucks Bunyip, awfully nice of you to invite me, but I'm afraid I don't have the stomach to carry out proposed inquisition myself, and the company would probably put me off my food.

OK then, we'll leave EC & JC to ASIC. I'll contact ASIC today and offer to put my full compliment of memory-jolting tools at their disposal.
However, I do still find some appeal in the thought of having Manny & Julie at my dinner party....I've always enjoyed the company of upstanding citizens of excellent repute, people of honesty and integrity!
Then why not see if you could bring back Christopher Skase, and throw in Alan Bond and Madoff while you're at it. Surely they'd all enjoy each other's company?? Although maybe they've all forgotten what made them so sought after? Seems vagueness can be quite common in some cirlcles... Mind you, if you could get them all drunk and manage to find out where the various treasures are buried it would be worth the price of the booze no doubt. I'm sure plenty of your ASF pals would be happy to share in the spoils

You can be 1/8 Aboriginal and you are Aboriginal, shows how strong this race is in our non-racial society.

King Arthur and his mates. (I have a round table.)
From what I've seen of some of the so called aboriginals on TV, you can be about 1/64 aboriginal and still claim you're an aboriginal !
Which reminds me.....Noel Pearson is one bloke who would definitely be welcome at my dinner party - I admire the man for his intelligence, character and honesty.
