Ab'ers For Dinner.
Following on from Bobisox below...
Which ABers would you have over for dinner and why?
(Please, no Hannibal Lector gags)
If it were possible I would have you all over.
ABers represent a broad divergency of life and opinions and thats how it should be.
Personally, I would have my AB Facebook friends over
(Smow, Murray etc)
Then I would have Buenchico just so that I could pick his brains about almost anything.
Then there is naomi. Would love to meet her in person. Comes across as very well read.
Opposite ends of the political spectrum but the same side re: religion.
(If Theland was still with us he would most def get an invite. No other religionist on AB comes close)
Atheist would get an invite because, well, he's an atheistπ
Would love to meet Sqad. A cantankerous GP. Gotta be a laugh there surely?
Douglas. A quick wit that would be welcome at any party.
Andy Hughes, because he's a fellow Stokie.
Tilly, because she's also a fellow Stokie who I have met and she is such a sweet lady.
New Judge to pick his brains on some points of law.
There are many others. This was just a quick summery.
Answers
I'd obviously start with fellow cat lovers, such as Wolf63, Campbellking, Haras2 and Barmaid.
Then, of course, I'd want the lovely Karamia there too.
Inviting Sunny Dave would hopefully see Gness tagging along too, even though she's currently 'user inactive' on AB.
Lie-in King would definitely be on my list, along with the AB member whose ability to ask incisive questions and critically analyse responses I so greatly admire. Now what's his name? Oh, I know, it's Nailedit ;-)
Hmmm...I had to give this a bit of thought. There's lots of Abers I like. But do they like each other...would they be hissing and spitting all through the meal?...or flirting outrageously? What do they have in common? What do I have in common with them?
So...I started with a few people who are on their own...inspired by thisoldbird the other night. She's invited. Also jj, because she'd be an absolute hoot. On to countrylover (Lottie)...though she's not on her own, she's not able to get out so much now. And we'd talk about all the stuff we've each filled our homes with. Wolf and Chris...they both need a good sit down meal that doesn't include crisps, beans or sardines. I don't know if wolf drinks booze...if she doesn't she'll have to supply her own Pepsi/ coke zero/whatever ππ. I'd also invite Red because I know she's a fantastic cook and would probably bring good gin or whisky. I need a few more men here...based on my original premise of those on their own...you nailedit as you are a gentleman at heart, intelligent and opinionated, as are sandyRoe and L. I. K.
I could think of others...with a different theme. People with interesting and useful hobbies or creative interests maybe.
Quite a few but I only like small quiet dinner parties with interesting people who are intelligent. So Pasta because we're two of a kind in many respects, Naomi, Buenchico, both are interesting and intelligent and I'm intrigued to know whether they match my ideas of what they look like. Mozz because our musical tastes match and he seems such a nice guy Red Helen a heart of gold but won't take any nonsense and she can do the cooking. Definitely Barmaid and New Judge.
Lots of lovely others I could name for ongoing dinner parties, but 8 is enough.
From those no longer with us here
I’d have Mrs O of Marigold fear.
Wendilla with her eyes on the stars
and we had similar Avatars.
Mamiya too would bless my table
A lovely lass, so kind and stable,
Not to mention AOG
(An intellectual TTT).
Now on to current Ab folk
Douglas, for many a jest or joke
Naomi whose posts are the very best
Certainly leaving me impressed.
Then Hopkirk for a wry riposte
And Kidd and Dustypuss must not be lost.
Sqad to keep us fit and well
TTT to give us hell.
I can’t omit dear Bobbisox
Even when she sometimes mocks.
I’d have Redhelen along also
(A suitable partner for Mrs O)
I would include the Lefty Gully
But would beg you not to bully
Because I mostly with him agree
Although his style grates on me.
Of course I must add NewJudge
Him of opinions I can’t budge.
Weecalf, Patsy33
Also please do join me
And, if I might be so bold
bring Gness back into the fold.
I would have to add wise Lie-in-King
The cruciverbalist could have his fling.
And Choux of course, she must be there
And Leigh too (what should she wear?)
Pasta and Buen (known as Chris)
Two more I’d just hate to miss.
Bobbinwales and the two from Oz
If not along would be a loss.
Barmaid and PP please come along
And join my happy happy throng.
Arkside, OG, Anneasquith ,Elliemay
Are also welcome on the day,
Andy, Cloverjo, jno, sunnydave
Welcome to my little rave.
Now if I haven’t named you here
Still come along and share a beer,
My aged memory’s now so poor
But there’s certainly many many more.
Whom I’d surely love to come
To have dinner in my home
But I just haven’t got the room
So join me please, but via Zoom
