Guess who's coming to dinner?

You know how they ask you if you could have any five people in the world to dinner, who would they be?
Well, here are my five ...



John Cleese, the greatest comic genius of all time (they only made a handful of episodes of Fawlty Towers, but I could watch them over and over forever and get something new out of them each time).



Bear Grylls for his bear-faced attitude to life (he once broke his back in several places after a bad parachute landing, and is still para-sailing down the sheer face of life at an alarming rate).



Richard Branson's mother used to abandon him in the countryside and force him to find his own way home (obviously worked, because he is now one of the richest men in the world and about to launch commercial space travel).



David Attenborough has done for wildlife cinematography what Albert Einstein did for relativity (theoretically speaking). He kindled and continues to fan my lifelong obsession with nature photography.




Tori Amos is invited because I know it will annoy my wife (I used to have a big crush on Tori in her Cornflake Girl days ... before she started disposing of bodies from the trunk of her car).
