Who would you invite to dinner?
We would invite, Billy connely, Kevin Macloud, Ray Mears, Mark Eavans, Kevin Spacey and probably a footballist to keep Swmbo happy.
-
Tom Waits would be a must, Jim Morrison would be great as well but they are the only 2 people i find really interesting!
Although saying that i would like to meet Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak how it felt to be screwed by Bill Gates in the early days of computer developement!

I guess that's due to a 'certain' political/anti-war comment they made a few years ago whilst on tour?
Let's try not to bring politics into it?
Others to add include (alive or dead);

Denise Van Outen
I was going to say she's an 'Essex Girl' (& all that entails), but I noticed your location too :lol: :lol:
-
Richard Noble (for his struggles to get the Thrust projects running)
I got to go to a seminar of his at Middlesborough, about the problems of Thrust SSC and how they are hoping to over come them. Very engineering intense, but also it was a very good insight.
The Q & A at he end was very amusing, especially with the problem of tyres and brakes at such high speeds.
-

james may
richard hammond
jeremy clarkson
for the laugh :lol:
cheers kieran

I bet it was, the book that was written afterwards is wonderful.
It goes over all the trials & tribulations that he had right from his first car.
It also deals with the testing done at Pendine Sands , with models on the rocket-powered railway there!!!!!!!
Plus accounts of an overland trip in Africa (in a Landie!)
Forget the title at the moment :oops:
The Q & A at he end was very amusing, especially with the problem of tyres and brakes at such high speeds.
Well, he did turn his first jet car over, when a front wheel-bearing collapsed (or the tyre punctured)
Mm? :? , sounds like someone else we all 'know'
Edit
Quite a simple title really, how could I forget that??? :oops: :oops:
Especially as there's a copy downstairs in my 'snug'
http://www.richard-noble.com/ (book is linked on the home page)
Try & get it from your local Library, it's well worth the read! (a BTM recommendation)
Edit. 2
The Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrust-Remarkable-Story-Quest-Speed/dp/1852252685/ref=sr_1_1/203-5126298-5194363?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193236222&sr=1-1) link gives an independant synopsis & the ISBN, if you want order via the Library system

I'd go for the Dalai Lama, for the conversation; and I'd go for Bush and Blair, and a pack of rabid, starving wolves, for entertainment. Oh, and Heston Blumenthal can do the food.
