Just say 'No, not really' and leave it at that. If pressed you can just look blank.
A colleague who I don't like and can't stand wants me to go to lunch with them..

Nah.
"Thanks for asking me to go out with you. I'm sure you're a very nice person, and there's no really easy way to say this - but sorry, you're not my type. I hope you find someone right for you one day".
or the more 'human' you become (i mean generally, not you LC).
personally i'd keep an open mind and go, but it seems like you're past the 'open mind' point and it'll be hard for your negative vibes to not show through, so just make an excuse and hope they get the message.
and i wouldn't say 'no i don't think so', that sounds like you think the 'asker' was being presumptuous in ever thinking you'd agree to such a wacky scheme in the first place.

Care to go into anymore detail? And tbh..not liking someone because they are sloppily dressed is pretty lame.
tbf i'd be suprised if the OP even has matching shoes, so you should take her opinion of 'sloppily dressed' with a pinch of salt.

Pleasant and unpatronising
The whole thread is weird. Usual attention-seeking guff, I presume.
just the very question will make the 'asker' think 'why does she need to find out who else is going? am i not good enough by myself?'
just say you're busy, or alternatively send a company-wide email (excluding the 'asker') asking a range of questions about her; you can then decide based on empirical (albeit slightly subjective) evidence whether she's worth an hour of your time

Upchuck didn't like a work colleague earlier in the year because of her 'unknown trainers'.
altho attention is being offered and summarily rebuffed!
Accept the invitation graciously, then spend the rest of today and tomorrow morning staring at her while rubbing your belly and licking your lips
this will also work
perhaps they were custom-made, a statement against the religion of consumerism or that person made a different choice to spending X£'s on some onitsuka tigers.
or something else.

You missed out 'P.S. You are sloppily dressed.'
is it me or is that possibly the worst thing to have said, given your previous posts on this person?
you've almost guaranteed another invitation.

Well then what can I say???? 'Sorry I don't do lunch?' when she knows I do? What I want to suggest is we go out as a group. I suppose I can say to her ask me tomorrow.
but if she asked you tomorrow you'd say no though?
either straight-bat it or ask some people you like if they want to 'do lunch' tomorrow and ask her once you've recruited a few.
Well I replied to the email with a kind of blank expression asking if it is a team lunch.
There has been no reply.
i thought you replied saying 'sorry but not tommorrow'?
No, it will be for some fucken sit down meal where I have to entertain her company for an hour and be uncomfortable and disintersted and ultimately very rude and stamping. It has happened before with me. When I'm not interested I just don't want to know
i suppose there's something to be said for knowing yourself and heading off bad situ's before they happen.
