Now today I've gone a bit dreamy. I've had a bit of a hard time at work and some sleepless nights so decided to have a little fun. I remember people asking me “if you could have 6 people over, from throughout history, for dinner who would you have and why?”
Now I thought about it several times and the normal names come up, JFK, Churchill, Gandhi, Bobby Moore, Newton, Alexander the Great and so on, but there are so many to choose from. So I decided to narrow the field a bit but adding in alive people only as a condition.
So here we go, and this is in no particular order:
1. Richard Branson, The guy is a real, breathing case of triumph over adversity. He is dyslexic and when he was young people did not know what it was, he was just stupid to them. I am dyslexic as well but I was lucky enough to grow up in a time when it was started to be recognised and I had lots of help. I would love to chat to him about how he over came it all to create on the the world biggest and well know brands.
2. Boris Johnson, The guy is a legend. He may just seem like a bumbling fool to most people but he is one of the best PR people in the country. He has shown a real human side which as made people like him more and more. He has bought some great changes to London with the Boris Bikes and the upgraded buses and he passion for change and a better London is 2nd to none. I think a certain Mr Cameron could well use some lessons from him.
3. Jay Z aka Sean Carter, The true rags to riches story. Kid from the projects goes on to the biggest rapper in history. What a legend, still seems a really down to earth kind of guy and despite all the fame he still knows where he came from. Could see him happy in a little dinner or eating in the best restaurants in the city.
4. Ridley Scott, One of the greatest directors of all time. Would love to chat to him about going from cult Si-fy, Alien, to massive epics, Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven. He has brought new life to the cinema. Also if all these actors are as bad as we see in the press or if it is as I suspect, blown out of proportion.
5. Sir Alex Ferguson, the football icon and best know manager in the world at the moment, I suspect Jose may have something to say about it in the future. Just to be good to talk to him about football and all the money there is in it. Also what it like to have lots of people dislike you for being so successful and what it is like to watch the managerial merry-go-round every year.
6. Prince Harry, again another legend. I'd love to go a for a drink with him. He just seems such a lad, again what we mere mortals see in the papers but he also looks like he enjoys life. He dose have a serious side with all his charity work and the army and I'd love to talk to him about all his great work as well as he gives so much of his time to his charity’s.
7. Barack Obama, Again a legend and a pioneer. When he was elected president I was so happy I thought it would be the best thing that could happen to the US since JFK. He went in on a platform of change and is still sticking to his guns. He may have had a few problems but he is talking about the hard issues and will not let people forget about them. He also sorted out a race row with a beer, legend.
Now this is my list, you may not agree with it and you might say why would he want to meet them, so come do your own and let me who you would love to meet.
