Most Scrumdiddliumptious Over-50s

James Dyson? Would he be the one who took jobs from UK employees because he could pay less overseas?

Yes the one who had to launch his Dyson in Japan as no manufacturer or distributor would handle his product in the UK, as it would disturb the valuable market for replacement dust bags. Dirt bags!

Have to add the dreaded Richard Dawkins to your list isthis
As Glenda Slagg might say, Mmmmmm..... You can come and convert me any time

And John Suchet

Hugh Laurie. Love a man that can laugh at himself.

Just had five enjoyable minutes drawing up my party list - not sure if all over 50 but I can overlook that! Also I'm not having a lot of female competition as "it's my party and I'll ... if I want to"

Michel Roux ( can supervise catering)
Andre Rieu (bring his fiddle)
John Sheahan + fiddle (Dubliners)
George Alagiah (brings some gravitas)
Craig Revel-Horwood (bring some gossip)
George Clooney (Just bring his gorgeousness)
Dawn French +
Jennifer Saunders and
Ade Edmondson (for the humour)
Frankie Dettori (to keep the party going)

gagagran I used to love that song - Lesley Gore. Reminds me of the fourth form

How old is presenter Neil Oliver with the gorgeous eyes?

Gagagran - what a great party!

Greatnan Yes Dyson shifted his manufacturing to Malaysia but he still employs a large number of design and development folk here. A large number. All highly paid.

We live in the real world. No rose-tinted spectacles please. If he choice was between shifting manufacture or going under, which do you think he should have done? And reduced profitability can lead to bankrupt companies. I don't like it either but it's how capitalism works.

Anyway this thread was about tastiness, not morality. I'm not sure I want everyone at my do to be thoroughly moral! [devilish emoticon]

Bryan Ferry.
We need a phwoarr emoticon please Tech

John Suchet is a great shout.

And Hugh Laurie plays great piano. This is going well!

Bryan Ferry - Yes, yes, yes

But only if he isn't allowed to promote his vile love of fox-hunting!

Neil Oliver is only about 46 can I smuggle him in?

After we've had a few, Harry B could lead us all in an ear-splitting rendition of The Banana Boat Song.

Ben Stiller
Dennis Waterman
Anne Kirkbride
Alison Steadman
Marianne Faithful

A fictional character: Norris

Julie Goodyear.

Bill Nighy

petallus!

isthis, I'm afraid Clive James is dead.

Alan Rickman
Neil Oliver with the gorgeous eyes (even if he isn't over 50!)

Clive James is alive Ana, unless he has passed away overnight?

Clive James is alive, but not at all well.

Colin Salmon (50 next month)
Sir Trevor MacDonald

Can I add Patrick Stewart to the list? His voice is to die for.

"Make it so", vq.

Without doubt Melvyn Bragg..... spotted him, in the flesh, on my last visit to London....... corrrrrrrr! Not a hair out of place, and what a wonderful head of hair!

Not Melvyn Bragg's hair!!
It is clear that mature men (and women) beat the Barbie doll girls and "pretty" boys hands down - or have my tastes just changed?
