Birth Year Dinner Party


Funky Nosejob

Recommended Posts

You're hosting a dinner party and have to invite 5 celebrity guests but, so that there’s no gaps in life experiences ruining the conversation, they all have to born in the same year as you. 
I’ll go first with my birth year, 1966.

James Richardson (29-05-1966)
Saturday mornings in the 1990s were epitomised by the Golazzo theme, the rustling of the Corriere Dello Sport and a sip from an espresso cup on an Italian piazza. His punning is at times glorious and I continue to enjoy his football podcasts.

Eric Cantona (24-05-1966)
I like an arrogant, talented footballer who thinks they are above everyone else, whether it be Cantona, Zlatan or Hristo Stoichkov (who could also have made this list). Eric gets the invite for his goal “celebration” after that chip v Sunderland in 1996 and his challenge on that arsehole Crystal Palace fan in 1995.

John Cusack (28-06-1966)
My favourite actor and lead role in my favourite film, Grosse Pointe Blank. A master of niche films, but never seems to shine in mainstream movies. Also has some interesting political views.

Cindy Crawford (20-02-1966)
The reason I spent most of my 20s determined that I was going to find and marry a brown-eyed brunette and the more that they looked like her, the better. I’d still leave Mrs. Nosejob, a blue-eyed redhead, if Cindy would have me. This dinner party is my best and probably last chance.

Richard Wiseman (17-09-1966)
Skeptical thinker and author of some brilliant books such as Quirkology and 59 seconds that make psychology far more accessible and interesting. He’s also a magician, so that could be a useful diversion if things start going wrong.

Johnny Lee Miller

Tim Peake

Karl Urban

Rebecca Romijin

Vanessa Paradis.

I've got The Rock and Zinedine Zidane as bouncers to keep Priti Patel and Miranda Hart from gatecrashing.

DJs are Liam Gallagher and Billie Jo Armstrong

A party of folk who died in the year I was born would be interesting:

Mihaila Jackson, Harry S Truman, MC Escher, John Grierson, J Edgar Hoover and President Nkrumah

Curses, my plans when I joined this forum 10 years ago and posted over 1,300 times (possibly over 1,500 given the post culls) including participating in Deadpool and Last Man Standing competitions have been rumbled. 
I’ll just have to wait another 10 years and start a “Who won Eurovision the year you were born” thread.

Angela Merkel

Oprah Winfrey

Matt Groening

Socrates (No,  the Brazilian one, ah'm not that old) (But he might refuse due to it being a non-smoking do)

Iain (M) Banks (No Dead Air in the conversation)

plus

Elvis Costello to duet with Annie Lennox (for half-time entertainment) 

Cherie Blair (to do the dishes)

Alex Salmond only invited if Machine Gun Kelly (died same year) is there to meet him.

Actually, forget it. I'll just have my school pals.
