How about this? Your fantasy dinner party. Eight people, living or dead, including:

1 Actor
1 Musician/singer
1 Politician/statesperson
1 Writer
1 Artist
1 Sportsperson (no Liverpool players/managers)

(Optional: 1 fictional character)

Yes! In for this one

Would you ever want to meet your heroes? There's loads of musicians/artists/writers I love, but I imagine that meeting them in real life would be a massive disappointment - I'd much rather take their output and that be the end of it.

I realise this is all hypothetical though

I don't man.... I already have my top picks in each of these categories and questions I would ask them all.

Breaking bread with people you have spent time reading, thinking about, or researching could be even better than you thought; as you then have an opportunity to influence as well as be influenced...

3 of my top picks would get along so well, that it would be an honor just to be in the same room to listen.

I can tell you from meeting Damien Rice (one of my heroes growing up) that I just forgot how to engage with other people in a normal way

I'm in for this one though.

Can they be dead?

Can one of your eight living or dead people be dead?

Yes.

I'll fill the numbers if needed but not arsed either way

I'll set this up once the UEFA draft is finished.

I do see where you're coming from but I don't know, I just like to separate individuals from their art, it gives it more mysticism

Was he alright then?

I remember when O came out I quite liked it. Lisa Hannigan's great as well, she's ace.

I see your point as well. But if I were to tell you who my guys were --- and to get them all in one room, based upon what I know about them -- not sure I would be disappointed.

But then again, you have a deep imagination --- maybe something I should think harder about mate

Cheers

This was a few years after O, I was about 13 so probably explained my awkwardness. He was really nice to be fair to him. I just felt like it was an opportunity to ask something interesting about his music but all I could really blurt out was how much I loved The Blower’s Daughter.

Signed my album and gave us some free merch though.

Sound. You've actually got me listening to Damien Rice again. Well, Woman Like a Man specifically, feel like having a good swear

Same, mate. O, get right inside my head, mate. In a good way.....I think!

Yes please. I need to put the Lyon and Manchester nightmare behind me.

I do still stand by Ashley Grimes and two wingers playing in a diamond midfield, though

An idea for a future draft I may run [or may need someone else to run] in the coming weeks.

Total Football Dutch Appreciation Draft.

Rules are simple, select only Dutch players bar 1 exception, which would be 1 foreign player who has played in Holland per team.

All Dutch draft interesting as long as no era stipulations etc.

Still like the Steve Bull draft idea or whatever we were going to call the lower league draft.

Samie · « **Reply #4626 on:** March 29, 2021, 02:47:27 pm »

None football draft's I say.

I'd agree but I need respite, You weren't just subject to seeing a table containing Joan Rivers defeating your table of gregarious progressive all-stars

What about T20 Cricket Draft. There is a world cup coming up soon and I don't think RAWK has done a T20 draft.

Cricket, i've heard of that thingy.

Why not have a royal family draft + cricket (draft a criketer and royal) - the two worst institutions in English culture...

Ok... I had pulled the pin, now I wait to see who explodes.

Max_powers · « **Reply #4638 on:** April 11, 2021, 05:53:50 am »

I mean we could push the T20 draft till the fall when then world cup is near.

Sarge · « **Reply #4639 on:** April 11, 2021, 12:08:55 pm »

I'll do the Cricket one but tell me how many players i need and what type/Positions i have to have, be interesting to see what i come up with.

Google will be my master but an interesting experiement all the same.
