Come Dine With Me

[djerica]

Come Dine With Me - is the great Channel 4 TV show, where contestants host a dinner party to win a cash prize.

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in getting together hosting dinner parties in the style of the show. We could put cash into a kitty and award it to the best dinner party host.

So ED residents let me know if you're up for the challenge...

:)-D

[flapjackdavey]

I'm rotten at cooking but how about a night out at Kebab and Wine ... it

's on me .:)-D

sorry .

[djerica]

Would prefer Thai...

:))

[TillieTrotter]

That's sounds like a great idea DJerica. Will give it some thought!

[SeanMacGabhann]

It's a fun idea - but will it work? Will strangers trust each other enough?

And can I do the voiceover??

[Kells]

Please please please can I do the voiceover? Or we can take turns? Because I can't cook, but would hate to miss out!

[????]

I was thinking..

Sean...WoofMTD.....Louisa......FelicityN.....Annaj or Moos.....TonyLS..

...would be good. You gonna do Pizza Sean?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Has to be pizza doesn't it - I might even splurge on a bottle of wine costing more than ?3.99

[????]

*Bob* or Snorky for voiceover

[Moos]

"Annaj or Moos"?

NOW I'm flattered.

[annaj]

I know.

Whilst it is flattering to be grouped with you, Moos, nothing boost the self esteem like knowing you are essentially interchangable with anyone you share a few basic characteristics with, does it?

[annaj]

ps. I shall be even less flattered if Quids has us in mind for the needy, overwieght, overly cheerful yet slightly brittle, divorcee who makes everyone dress up, because there always is one....

The same concept of complete strangers meeting for dinner was tried out on the Sydenham town forum and if memory serves correct it was actually quite a success. I'll try and find the thread but I'm sure it was successful. They also tried it out on the se23.com forum and initially it fell on it's face but now they meet regularly but at a restaraunt or pub but I think they did initially meet at someones house.

Perhaps should exclude the bit where the visitors get to rummage through the host's drawers?

But yes its a brill programme - watch it regularly on a Sunday night now. Mrs M not so keen but if I offer her the choice between US golf or CDWM she lets me watch it.

There was a celebrity version where Linda Barker hosted and my wife tells me she lives on Underhill Road??. That was quite a good episode and she predictably had a very nice house.

[bigbadwolf]

I don't think an orgy is on the menu.

[Marmora Man]

I could be interested - and would consider my cooking to be reasonably edible and, perhaps, competitive.

[SeanMacGabhann]

And possibly intimidating MM! - not sure I'd fancy my chance on the food front. But it's all about "the evening" isn't it

So ships biscuits it is then. Shall I bring the cheese?

[Marmora Man]

I'll supply weevils.

If you see two weevils coming out of a biscuit - which one do you choose?

The smaller one - you should always choose "the lesser of two weevils". Bom Bom - acknowledgments to Master & Commander by POatrick O Brian.

*bustles cheerfully in, in mismatched Chanel jacket with ropes of pearls and carefully casual jeans*

Anyone for my MARVellous trifle?! Oh ????, you naughty boy, you bought Baileys for me specially!!

Still, think I'd rather come as the slightly scruffy smart-arsed happily married one, if it's all the same to you. Can't cook, but do an excellent job of washing up.

[djerica]

Hey Everyone

If you're genuinely up for it - then send me a PM.

We can meet somewhere on Lordship Lane to set the parameters and dates and take it from there.

I have a video camera, anyone interested in filming us? Then Kells or Sean could do the voiceover! We post the results on youtube!

[Mick Mac]

Watched it tonight - it is definitely "streamed" so that the class of cooking and class of person are well matched. Tonights from Newport Wales was def lower end.

DJERICA - Good luck with your night. If you don't get enough offers, you might want to go to the next EDF drinks to hook up with potential guests and take it from there.

[woofmarkthedog]

As you know my manners are appalling.....but i'm quite good at the camcorder bit

If there is an orgy after...I could film that bit in soft focus

If not the washing up at the end..

[djerica]

Thanks Mick - will have to make it the next drinks though as unfortunately I'm in Germany on Friday.

Woof - thanks for the filming offre, there maybe an orgy of food on the table, but I'm sure you'd be welcomed with open arms if you offered to actually do the washing up rather than film it!!! :))
