warspite1 -> RE: Dinner Party (10/14/2015 4:11:25 PM)
|
Adolf Hitler/Lady Thatcher, Napoleon Bonaparte, Horatio Nelson (down one side)
Winston Churchill, JFK (at either end)
Walt Disney, Me, Henry VIII (down the other side)
Topics of conversation:
- JFK – have to have one US President. Have chosen JFK as much for the celebrity gossip he can spill the beans on as anything else! Who killed Marilyn? Although there is also the question of who does he think killed him and why? What were his plans for Vietnam? What would he have liked to achieve if he had two full terms as President. His views on the Cold War too.
- Henry VIII – What is the truth about his six wives – did he really believe Anne was sleeping with her brother? Was Anne of Cleaves as bad looking as was made out? Did he regret what happened – i.e. the divorces, the executions etc. I would be particularly interested in his reaction to how Elizabeth turned out – did he have any inkling? How does he think splitting the Church turned out - and did he imagine it may cause a problem or two down the line? [:D]
- Horatio Nelson – I would just be in awe of a man seemingly without fear – bravery personified [&o]. I would ask him for a blow by blow account of Trafalgar. I would not mention the state of the Royal Navy today…… [:(]
- Napoleon Bonaparte – I would like to know his thoughts on what he thought he was trying to achieve and where he wanted it all to end. In retrospect did he think dishing out kingdoms to family members and crowning himself Emperor was really the way to go after the revolution? How did he view knifing his Spanish Allies in the back on reflection – and why oh why did he think attacking Russia was sensible and so embarking France on a two-front war?
- Adolf Hitler – One question and one question only: Why - you sick $%^ - WHY!!!? He would then be ordered from the table and made to sit through Schindler’s List. His place would be taken by Lady Thatcher. I would be too intimidated to ask her questions so I would just sit and wait to be spoken to! Would be interesting to see how she reacts to Sir Winston.
- Winston Churchill – Nothing to be said about this colossus. I suspect he would take over the conversation – and no one would care a damn [&o][&o]. Well except perhaps Adolf, but that $%^& doesn't count as he's been banished. I would want to grill him about Force Z though [:-]
- Walt Disney – To take the edge off the heavy weight discussion, my girls would not forgive me if I didn’t invite this genius. Would love to hear all about where he got the inspiration for theme parks and buying up all that land in Florida. Genius. Would love to see his reaction to a Pixar film which would be playing in the background.
Background music to be supplied by: Ludwig van Beethoven playing the 5th, 6th and 9th Symphonies and his 5th Piano Concerto.
Waitresses for the occasion will be:
- Alison Brie
- Christina Hendricks
- Jenna Coleman and
- Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Dress Code - French maid (for the waitresses - not the guests).
Thank-you ladies.
Would love to have invited (if there was more room):
- The Queen - so many stories
- Josef Stalin - same theme as Adolf. One question and then naughty step.
- My Grandads - never knew one and barely knew the other
- George III - You lost the bloody colonies!
- Mary Kelly - who was Jack the Ripper?
