Weekend shooting party


Fr Z has started a good game at his blog. (See: Weekend) Here are the rules:
You can invite EIGHT people to join you for a leisurely weekend. Call it a shooting party ala Gosford Park.

There will be slow and well-paced meals and, of course pre-prandials.

Since you are at the WDTPRS county manor (on my planet, that is), you will be able to talk into the night and continue the next day.

Who MUST be there?

ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST BE ALIVE (now).
Go over to Fr Z to see his list. Off the top of my head, here's mine for the party at the Hermeneutical Country House:
  • Damian Thompson
  • Richard Dawkins
  • Hilary White
  • Catherine Pepinster
  • Tom Pink
  • Mgr Basil Loftus
  • Fr Ray Blake
  • Tony Blair
I have an extra rule: No Confidentiality. Everything can be put on blogs, twitter, YouTube or in the dead tree press.

Interesting to observe DT & Ms P, you & TB.
Which of us gets killed in the library?

I'll come and take notes. I can type really really quickly and my MacBook is quite portable with decent battery life.

Nobody will know I'm there on account of my tiny-ness.

Pretty please?

I can cook, too!

Your choice should give rise to interesting discussion, but it reminds me of the drunk who fell into the gutter alongside a pig. A passrby was heard to say
" You can tella man who boozes by the company he chooses", and with that the pig got up and walked away!

I will leave my secret microphone to record the talk and publish it later on my blog as I do with other interviews like the Holy Father with Prince Charles recently.

You need to sneak Father Clifton in the back door beforehand as a nice surprise for lofty.

Father, I have not been able to access Father Z's blog for, I think, the past 4 days. No matter which topic I choose, or which browser I use, it opens to a completely blank page. Has anyone else had this difficulty?
