R.S.V.P.

Another great idea from Blogliners: Which four people, living or dead, would you love to invite to dinner?

Well, I've not been able to limit it for four so I'm going to have to extend the table a bit (or, given the size of our flat, take them to a restaurant instead!).

My special guests would be:

My grandparents (one of whom I never met) when they were my age.

Tolkien - to see what he would think about the Lord of the Rings being voted the nation's favourite book,
and to see his reaction to Peter Jackson's film adaptation.

Gene Roddenbury as it would be fascinating to discuss life, the universe and everything with the great man.

Speaking of great men - Terry Pratchett would also get an invite. His writing is insightful and amusing. I would love to discuss his views on religion, humanity ... trivial topics such as that.

Then Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein would come into their own after we'd all had a few drinks to phase shift our brains.

Although, if these people were gathered together in one place I would, I believe, be struck dumb and gormless.

Happy Journeys.
