I've just started work in Port Macquarie and the company newsletter want to do a profile on me and one of the questions is "If you could invite four people to dinner who would they be and why"
Can you guys inspire me with your choices?

HH.
jesus christ, to ask if he really did say all that stuff...
Albert Einstien, he'd be an interesting converstaionalist
Frank Zappa, he'd be an interesting converstaionalist and I'd like to hear him play his music
Me.
I was thinking Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed and Jehovah to see who won the fight, but don't think I can put that in the newsletter.
HH.
It'd probably be better to stick with guys that aren't dead, on account of the pong would put everyone else in the restaurant off their food.

If I was in serious mood,
Carl Sagan
Albert Einstein
David Suzuki
James Lovell
at some stage in my life these men had an impact on the way I look at the world,
then again so did these guys,
The Marx brother, including Zeppo! :D :D
Salman Rushdie
The Ayatollah Khomeini
Miles Davis and
Pablo Escobar would be good for a blast
Wife and 3 of our best friends so we could enjoy a decent feed in peace. ;)
Kylie Minogue (Danni if Kylie is busy)
Jane Fonda
Sarita Stella
Amanda Vanstone (somebody's got to cook :D )
Fellas, this is a woodies' forum!
So, here goes:-
Norm Abrams - to talk about electron-burning gear.
James Krenov - to talk about design, material selection and detailed fine woodworking.
Thomas Lie-Nielsen - to talk about how you make fine metal hand tools.
Terry Gordon - to give us the good oil on wooden hand tools.
We're limited to four - otherwise I'd also invite Rob Lee and his dad to talk about re-designing hand tools for the modern era.
How does that grab you?
Enjoy your fish 'n chips. And keep the noise down , me and the girls have things to do. :DQuote:

Dave .... the Aussie guy who does the Holden commercials
or any four comedians you can think of. Nothing like a good laugh. Could you just imagine how well they would work off each other.
Methinks you had already done it yourself while typing their names one handed ;) .Quote:

Charles Darwin
The Postman
Hmmm...
The last person in the world, to find out what the heck happened, and who caused it by saying "hey ya'll, watch this!".
God. Find out who got it right, straight from the horses mouth. ;)
(might even be an empty spot at the table, anyone want to stand in?)
Still thinking about the others...
Michael Jordan
Mark Spitz
Carl Lewis
Pete Sampras
My mate John because he moved to NZ a few years ago and I miss him.
My mate Andrew because he was a surrogate husband to my missus for the first few days when our daughter was in hospital in Sydney.
My mate Dave because he's just a happy go lucky goofball despite what he does for a living.
My mate Larry because he's a damn nice guy and funny as well.
There's a few more but getting those four together in the same room is a crack and it hasn't happened for too long a time.
HH Namtrak has it right , they want to form a profile on you answer accordingly
But as a general question i'de stay away from dead ones , imagine if they came as they are now , little piles of dust and some bones ,
And those that can't speak aussi english. Ben larden etc.
Pick someone that could bring some good wine (Sir James Hardie perhaps)
Someone that can cook to bring desert (Neil Perry or the like)
Someone to talk to (a Good mate )
Someone to Look at ( Not Dame Edna , more Jennifer Lopez )
The trouble with life is there's no background music.
Russell
why a bunch of rich seppos ? all they do is sweat more successfully than the next bloke... ;)Quote:
