Dinner party

[wellinghall]

If I had a dinner party, and could invite eight living famous people, they would be:
David Gower
Brian May
Nicole Kidman
Al Stewart
Christopher Tolkien
Lois Bujold
Rory Underwood
Lenny Henry

(Yes, I know that's not very well-balanced; maybe I'd invite their patners as well).

And if I could invite eight dead people, they would be:
JRR Tolkien
Donald Bradman
James Stewart
Roy Chadwick
The Beowulf poet
Earl Beorhtnoth
Mahatma Gandhi
Laura Ingalls Wilder

Any other lists?

Hah, yes, hadn't thought about the point made by skordh and the_marquis. I suspect the second evening could either break up into two cliques, or have three very cross individuals in opposite corners of the room.

Clearly I need more practice in planning dinner parties!
