I come back after being off for the weekend, to another huge backlog of feed items, a moderate amount of e-mail, a huge amount of new YouTube videos, countless forum posts – and a meme. Oh well, it’s not like I could stay away from them for ever…

Meme

Anyway, the whole point is to pick 8 people, alive or dead, who you’d like to invite to a dinner party, and why. Grandad somehow got around to it while still on holiday and apparently he “hasn’t hit me before, and it’ll give me something to worry about”. I have more important things to worry about

The 8 lucky (or not-so) people

Bad Bear Bogie – Xbox Gamerchix from somewhere on the Southside. Why? I know that there are plenty of girl gamers out there (and I wish there were more), but BBB is the best one out of them who I’ve barely ever played with. I think the most we’ve ever done on Live together is play a couple of UNO games and do a bit of Halo 3 co-op. You might say that’s barely any time at all, but it was enough to know I liked playing with her
PS: Don’t get any ideas, she’s at least twice my age!

Will Wright – Creator of SimCity and the Sims. The Sims game series’ have been immensly popular, particularly with myself, hence why I can spend hours on end playing it even on this low-end machine. It’d be nice to have him along to discuss his creation of the series, and whether he has more planned on top of what’s out now.

Don “Hollywood” Yates – better known as “Wolf” from the 2008 American Gladiators revival + Michael van Wijk – better known as “Wolf” from the ’90s UK Gladiators. Well, they’d be there to provide entertainment for the evening. Especially if there to be a battle of the wolves on Earthquake

Right, now we’re getting into the “Who next?” side, so the rest are more random…

Whoever the current CEO of Innocent Drinks is – and hope that they supply the smoothies

Jimmy Wales – founder of Wikipedia. So I can talk Wiki talk without sounding like an idiot.

Monkeynutz – from one of those NSFW posts from a while back. So I can slap him silly and otherwise make him into the douche that he is.

Gordon Ramsay – the famous chef. A nice little slagging match before his over-hyped food would be a nice appetiser
