In the pantheon of pub conversations reserved for moments of awkward silence, “who would you invite to your fantasy dinner party?” is a hoary old classic.
Coming Up has participated countless times, answering thus:
– Stephen Fry for his easy banter
– Sir Stephen Hawking for his vast knowledge
– Muhammed Ali for his rapier wit
– Michael Palin because he has seen so much.
The fact we actually want to say Kim Kardashian (champagne serving), Homer Simpson and that girl off Graham Norton’s show who did the ping pong ball trick remains a never-said secret.
So when Andy Murray was asked the same question, we were intensely interested and we think you will be too.
So we recorded his answers on paper, with ink, and bring them to you in Friday’s Courier.
There’s a fair bit more besides.
We reveal who pays the most pocket money in Britain (answer: “tight-fisted” Scots).
We have the latest on the Fifa scandal. (Sepp Blatter would also find a seat at our table it would seem the lad may have a tale to tell).
We reveal how many of the fresh chickens you are buying carry a food poisoning bug and advise on how not to get it (don’t lick them before they’re cooked, apparently).
And we have reaction from the family of a kid left behind at a safari park when his school trip finished. Needless to say, they’re not congratulating the school for successfully bringing home the other 299 pupils.
Buy Friday’s Courier please.
