There are a few in here

Not enough where it counts though! in all seriousness. 72 people picked, 86% of them male

86% of us are men Lawn

And we probably have some serious questions to ask folks.

Also, we had some conflicts with the following:

Joan of Arc was busy
Indira Ghandi was scheduled out
Arundhati Roy was invited but turned it down in favor of a pipeline demonstration, the nerve
Emma Goldman was in my orbit but was afraid of the lactose intolerance
Billie Holliday was an error - probably should have invited her; fantastic crooner
bell hooks would have been fantastic foil for Dr West
Yves Smith - the writer would have been a joy, but had to take care of her sick mum

Here was my universe of choices - let me know if you do not recognize someone

Can I just post my 2 wildcards up to complete my table lineup?

Gonna pick two lovely gurrls who better not foolishly interupt and attempt to contribute to any serious debates.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #367 on:** March 19, 2021, 01:16:41 pm »

Thinking Sally Gunnell and Sue Cook

Sheer Magnetism · « **Reply #368 on:** March 19, 2021, 01:18:11 pm »

By my count, Djozer and Bobby have one more pick and Buck Pete has two.

Oh Mr. Gekko 100%, Hicks too but not in a nice way, they all would but it would be a mixed bad come to think of it.

Sarge will picking Adolf Hitler next then begin to berate my Desmond Tutu pick for being an unhinged megalomaniac.

Dessie is fine, i have no more picks to go so cant get the mad Austrain mass murderer in. I needed Gekko and Maggie in to add to my mix because its needs to be lively and not drab and boring.

Hazell · « **Reply #387 on:** March 19, 2021, 07:51:43 pm »

Could invite Morrissey to keep Adolf company.

Hazell · « **Reply #388 on:** March 19, 2021, 09:18:21 pm »

Forgot to say S, great pick on Jermain Clement, responsible for one of my favourite songs:

They’re a talented duo and the series was brilliant, in a way it’s a shame we only got 2 season series but at least they didn’t stretch it out and dilute the quality.

Saw them live in Manchester a couple of years back doing mainly new original songs - they were fantastic

Buck Pete · « **Reply #394 on:** March 20, 2021, 01:25:36 pm »

Ok guys we are done

Got my Gangster. Was between Capone and Gotti. Gotti was a bit of a shit, so went for Al.

Sheer Magnetism · « **Reply #395 on:** March 20, 2021, 01:40:30 pm »

Quite busy this weekend so I'll start the three semi-finals Monday morning. If anyone wants to post their table placement (which includes themselves, obviously) before then, go for it. If not, I'll seat all your guests in the order they were invited.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #396 on:** March 20, 2021, 03:36:08 pm »

As my party is predominately male I actually meant to give the last invite to a "40-year-old scorcher."

SO as I was the last pick and nobody is going to select anymore I have changed Al Capone to Katherine Jenkins (b. 29th June 1980).

Trendisnotdestiny · « **Reply #397 on:** March 21, 2021, 02:10:51 am »

Hey lads!

What do you say we add a new player here at the end. He's a legend around these RAWK writing parts, and became curious after the l'incident Springsteen --- and thought I would throw his hat in the ring.

Big respect for Timbo!

Charlton Heston - Actor (Purple)
Billie Holliday - Musician (Pink)
James Larkin - Politician (Red)
Jonathan Swift - Writer (Orange)

Beat me to it, Trend. Well, the names anyway not the exquisite design. Speaking of which...

Wish I'd thought of Chris Morris and Swearengen, they would have been great picks.
