SZone dinner party.

[Slipperduke]

I would go for Bluesmanager, Freidheim Holm and Marky Gower, forget about the dinner, start a huge link-up game of Football Manager 2007 and just order pizza instead.

And I would win. Oh yes I would.

Thanks for your kind invitation to the Dinner oarty Dave but regret I am unable to attend (so get some other mug to do the washing up!)

Very good thread sir, as a lurker I have observed a few personalities I would certainly like around my table.

1) Kent Shrimper - A very fine fellow indeed. Worthy of a place around my table. He has a fantastic collection of old Southend memorabilia especially some old videos which are great to watch after a nice alcohol fuelled dinner.

2) Mad Cyril - Well, what can I say? Truly hilarious. Anyone who has a 'Flowered Up' tagline as their signature will be more than welcome to dine at the house of defiler. After watching KS's videos I'll pop on some New Fast Automatic Daffodils and get right into some early nineties baggy action.

3) Bob Cratchitt - We can reminisce about our time at Southend College and I can get some much needed hints and tips about Hattrick which quite frankly I'm **** poor at.

4) This was a toss up between Wiggy and Tony the Kray. In the end I plumped for TTK as the silver shirt debate was legendary and put him on the map. Never shy to have an unpopular view point I'm hoping that this will add some flavour to my rather bland cooking.

I have never thrown a dinner party, so I wouldn't want to get a big head about my ability to do so, in other words I'd want it to be a humbling experience. So I'd choose:

Wiggy - She would complement the lasagna endlessly, continually pointing out how it is a great dish. However, the breadsticks, salad, wine, and all other parts of the meal would be a severe disappointment to her, she would be unable to find a redeeming quality about any part of them. The harshest criticism would be saved for me, the cook, since I will be responsible for mismanaging the ingredients and the overall downfall of the entire meal. If I could replace the side dishes with some of a better quality, then everyone would realize how amazing the lasagna truly is.

Tony the Kray - I think bluntness would be the best word to describe his reaction to the meal. He may like certain parts of it, but he would only ever talk when he had something against the meal. However, this would mainly come in comments like, "The breadsticks are horrible, end of".

Richard_Cadette - Most likely wouldn't enjoy the food, or the way I prepared it, but would be nice to have around since he would explain throughly what I was doing wrong, and ways that he believed I could improve my cooking. Although, in fairness to him, if my cooking was actually decent in his eyes, I can see him being complimentary.

As for the fourth, I think I'd go a different route, opting for:

Dave the Shrimper - After the dinner and getting nagged endlessly about every fault in my cooking, I'd probably want to go to a bar and get extremely wasted and try to find a girl to ease my suffering. Dave seems like he would be a great wingman, so he gets the nod here. Although there is the drawback that I'd probably end up with an odd nickname by the end of the night.

Wiggy ~ Great fun and I like a girl with a bit of spunk about her.
Tony the Kray ~ I hate yes men and Tony never goes with the popular
Stan collymore ~ cause its Stan.
Mad Cyril ~ still makes me laugh out loud.

This thread is brilliant, here's my choices,

1 - TrueBlue, well what can you say, his TBTV is just class and his honest and forthright views are spot on. He's my kind of SUFC fan. Long live TBTV!

2 - CSJ. Like myself, will wear his heart on his sleeve and will be honest about it. Not one to go with the majority, and a man that will call a spade a spade.

3 - The Artful Shrimper - Very funny and has some very decent views on all SUFC related topics.

4 - Slipperduke, again very funny and would have lots of interesting stories to tell at the dinner table.
