Cait Posted October 21, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyfs1966 Posted October 21, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted October 21, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted October 21, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Would you consider George Clooney a suitable luxury item! :rolleyes: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rea Posted October 21, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted October 22, 2012 Share 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..............

Cait Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rea Posted October 22, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inge Posted October 24, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted October 24, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Oh WOW!!! I was only thinking of the consumption of alcohol.....well done for researching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Couldn't you just ask for a neverending supply of red wine - definitely just one item ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
