AnonyMouse_13453 Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 It's just been pointed out that I have arrived at 8000 posts! I don't know how that happened - obviously I have too much to say, so perhaps it's time to go to that mythical desert island with my eight records, a book and a luxury. But what should I take? What would YOU pick? 1 Quote
Steve Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 What would we pick for you to take or us Cait? Quote
AnonyMouse_12960 Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 well surely your statutory framework would be one of your items...but is it a book....or even worse, would it be your luxury item?? Congratulations on your 8000th post!! Best wishes 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Luxury item should perhaps be frivolous don't you think? Not particularly practical or needed, just wanton and decadent, and a little useless - how about a padded toilet seat a la Prince Charles, apparently he takes it everywhere with him when he goes abroad Quote
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 hummm records...something i'm not going to get bored with ...perhaps something classical that i can learn to play on a set of coconut shells! books a set of survival guides (always fancied myself as a Bear grylls) luxury....i'm afraid would have to be a years supply of chocolate :rolleyes: Quote
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Would you consider George Clooney a suitable luxury item! :rolleyes: 1 Quote

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Anything from Caro emerald, jools Holland, rammstein or elbow with Hathaway from 'lewis" or Jonny depp. Take a hip flask and an overnight bag and enjoy x Edited October 21, 2012 by Rea 2 Quote
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Books... A thousand splendid suns, the book thief, lord of the rings. Edited October 21, 2012 by Rea Quote
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Right - if I can take George - I would hope that I wouldn't need a book :rolleyes: Will of course, need something to dance to though - will have to think about that.............. Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 What would we pick for you to take or us Cait? Well either really. I think my records would be mainly classical music - they go on a bit longer! Jane Eyre possibly for book. Hmmm. Quote

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Most definitely! :rolleyes: If we can take characters, I want Aragorn and Wade Garrett (Sam Elliot in Road House) :wub: I want a king sized feather duvet too Quote
Guest Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Luxury item a crate of red wine.......a shipping crate that is Does the crate count as one item?? :huh: Quote

AnonyMouse_19782 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Luxury item a crate of red wine.......a shipping crate that is Does the crate count as one item?? :huh: Certainly, for our purposes, but I suspect Kirsty of BBC 4 may not agree! 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 been thinking... not sure on music, country, maybe a bit of current music, (not rap ) classic, No Jazz... but happy with most genre... books, one of the dragon series, Anne McCaffrey ( but would like to smuggle in my kindle with a solar charger takes up less room than a book, honest!) Luxury item.. a huge umbrella.. i could use as shelter against sun ( I get hives from too much sun!) and rain .. could use it to collect rain in for water and lots of practical uses... But like the idea of a shipping crate.. Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Posted October 24, 2012 Surely a crate could have so many other uses too? A very practical idea! Plus of course, the red wine wouldn't need to be chilled! Genius! 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Well, I wondered how else all that red wine could benefit you and found this list... Red wine can be used as a facial toner and skin softener, It can be used to clean fruit and vegetables, dye fabrics, its a disinfectant, a glass cleaner, a fly trap. It heals bruises, helps your heart, relieves dyspepsia, can be used as a meat marinade and made into jelly. It can slow the aging process, boost brain power and you can use it to power your Aston Martin. So I'd say 2 crates would be better 3 Quote
Guest Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Oh WOW!!! I was only thinking of the consumption of alcohol.....well done for researching Quote
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Posted October 24, 2012 Actually, would it be more sensible, in light of that, to get a juggernaut of crates full? Still one luxury? They could take the juggernaut back in case that constituted a second luxury....... Quote

I like your thinking there :1b I'm wondering now - as I'm not taking a book - I would like the wine + George - think that would be a brilliant combination! :1b Quote

AnonyMouse_26037 Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Couldn't you just ask for a neverending supply of red wine - definitely just one item ! Quote
