I have no real beef with Clarkson. He sends himself up too. Get what you say about criticism from a point of privilege though, Dans.
And yes, I know Cleese can be funny, but I just compare him to Michael "nicest man in the world" Palin. Same wife, same house (albeit extended), same values as when he started out. And some cracking travelogues to boot. Dinner party invite already written for when my boat comes in. His diaries reveal somewhat of a gourmand, but I bet I could serve up sardine and tomato paste sandwiches and still get a positive response.
Do we have a dinner party thread here?
I know Limey, DanaC and myself discussed a Dwellar version when in Glasgow. Don't think it made it to the board. Surprisingly for three women of a similar age and overlapping politics and humour, we had quite varying opinions on who we wanted to eat with. we kept cancelling out eachother's suggestions from what I remember.
