Well, here are mine - guess I kind of cheated - and its sooooooooooo difficult to pick 5, could really pick 5 from music, 5 from film, 5 from history etc.. but anyway, as music is such a huge part of my life here they are:
My Girlfriend (wouldn't have anyone there ahead of her)
Bono and Ali (counting that as one cos its only one invitation
)
Jeff Buckley
Neil Finn
Russell Crowe
think they're all interesting people really. No way I'd have royalty at my dinner - we want to enjoy ourselves.
..oh and I'd cook
(thats pressure for you eh?)
Reminded of me of this bit from Father Ted (and God created Woman)
Polly Clarke (author): "I always thought that if Joyce, Keats and Lawrence were sitting in a room together and Dostoevsky walked in, there'd be a hell of a fight for the last piece of oudding"
(Ted hesitates, then laughs loudly, turns away with a look that says "what the feck does that mean?")
------------------
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were and the
way that we wanted to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
and that you were for me
And then we long to dance the night away
And turned to each other saying 'I love you, baby I love you'
Oh the way that young lovers do
