Countdown Dinner Party

Post by Douglas Wilson »

Who would attend your Countdown dinner party if you could choose:

- One past/present host
- One past/present Arithmatician/Lexographer
- One past/present DC guest
- Two past/present contestants
- One free choice ie. another past/present host, Arithmatician/Lexographer, DC guest, contestant, or even a forumer/apteroid that hasn't been on the show (including the ones i stupidly omitted)

What would you cook and would you provide any entertainment?

Richard Whiteley
Susie Dent
Stephen Fry
Charlie Reams and Jon Corby. (It gives me pleasure to watch them hug.)
Jeffrey Burgin would be my free choice.
I could cook toast (done on a 30 second timer) and alphabet spaghetti (so they could play the game then eat their own words.)
No entertainer - the guests are entertainment enough.

When you write those little name tags to indicate where people are sitting Ralph, make sure you spell Richard's name correctly otherwise he will play merry hell with you............

Oh dearie me.
I'm sure everyone will know that I had a wrong spelling of Whiteley (Whitely) and you pointed it out.
Who on earth could think you look like the tit?

I guess 'Paris in the the Spring' is just too easy to spot now.

Sorry Sue. I edited again. I'm not having a good day.
I think it will be understood.

And you think if you invite them to dinner they'll gay up for your voyeuristic pleasure, like they were your personal bitches or something?

Actually, they probably would.

They wouldn't be able to stop themselves.
