Whilst we just about survive the piped Musak and the marketing, something not connected to crank length, saddle angle, the big brown in town question, Brexit and the relative merits of hill repeats, turbo sessions and bagging Strava segments...
You're going to be the Hostess with the mostest (wear what you like). You can invite any 6 figures alive or dead to your dinner party. Who would they be? (Let's presume they would be up to date on current affairs).
I'll start.
Winston Churchill
Genghis Khan
Cleopatra
Plato
Charles Darwin
Napoleon

What are you going to do to make the night bearable for the people down the pub? :P0 -
how "important" are current affairs ? ..... I'd like to choose the Miss world line up, or the blayboy bunnies .... they claim to know about world affairs, but to be honest, If I was throwing a dinner party the thought about someone boring my tits off about politics or the plight of Savannah lesser seen penguins, would make me gnaw my own face off ....... I would rather chill with the more lighthearted entertainment #
