I've got a a few moments to spare so I'll play. In no particular order I'd invite:

Michael Palin
Billy Connolley
Dennis Hopper
Clark Gable
Earnest Hemingway
Jeff Cooper
Jack Black
Richard Pryor
Muhammad Ali
Bill Hicks

If one of these guests were unable to attend then I'd invite Jack the Ripper (just to find out who that MFer Really was).

William Hayward Pickering - he had the coolest job in the world - explore space!! The Kiwi who was the head of NASA's JPL
Nicky Whelan - it's my dinner party so it's going to be one chair short and she has to sit on my knee the entire night
J Robert Oppenheimer - his work changed the world, past, present and future. Be great to find out what he thinks of all that
Bruce Anstey - He rocks
Colin Edwards - the guy in the MotoGP paddock that everyone says you should get on the piss with
Ron Jeremy - short, fat, hairy and ugly. But he nails hot young things every other day of the year!!
Josh Freese - best drummer ever
Bernard Spilsbury - the original Forensic Scientist. Abby from NCIS, Temperance from Bones etc etc all owe their characters/shows existence to the work this guy did
Rick Stein - likes his food relatively straight forward and simple but that doesn't mean boring and bland. None of the shit that you get with those other clowns.
Charlie Sheen - somebody has to bring the mind altering drugs!!

Interestingly, these are mostly heavily male biased. Wierd.

Well I put Camron Diaz, she is enough woman for any man.

Nothing weird about it. If the question was, "which 10 people would you like to go on a camping holiday with" then the answers would probably be very different (i.e. no other dudes allowed).

I thought you may have included Jenny Shipley.

A comment I read today of a woman in the nineties commenting on the benefit cuts said "we don't need Jenny Craig, we've got Jenny Shipley"
Nothing like letting the poor starve to make them get off their backsides and make their lives better.
Sounds like current Nat policy.
Nothing changes.
