Default So you're marooned on a desert island.........

and you are travelling with ONE member of this forum who survives with you too.

You have no cell phones or means of contacting anyone (save the old pebbles in an SOS sign on the beach) and you don't know how long you will be there for.

So


Who on this forum would you most like to be marooned with - and why?

I think, Ms. Chops, that you should take BSmith. Doing so would stave off boredom.

I'd like to be marooned with a few people, mainly because there will be no witnesses.

Someone like Dave (from Dave+Jules). He sounds like he could build the shelter and boat.

Though I'm imagining we were marooned with some cases of fine wine and a cooler.

I was thinking about this - would I want someone who could build stuff?? Well its not got to be perfect we won't be installing fitted cabinets and we won't be using a compound mitre saw so that leaves the DIY guys out of it.

So next would be it'd have to be someone I get on with or i'd kill them so BSmith and a couple of others are also out the window (sure the feeling's mutual too)

I can fish and all that good stuff so don't need a hunter gatherer.

So what do I need? Someone who makes me laugh and can make alcohol and tobacco from the local flora and fauna!!!!! mmmmmmm

Try the Trailer Park section in the US forum. They like guns a lot there too!









Oh wait. You said they had to make you laugh too........

So the real question is: is there an ideal BE member on this forum!

Who would I like to be marooned with?

Well Aviator comes to mind - he could fly me out of there.
DBD could keep me amused, and he seems to like fixing things.
Mandy you could shoot the food.
Novo could provide the intellectual stimulation - if I could understand his accent hehe
Flirtyknickers is good for a laugh and a natter.
Butch would be good for fitness - I could spar with him - except he seems to have left the island already.
Almost Canadian could teach me law - I've forgotten the 30,000 cases we had to read - I only remember Donaghue and Stevenson!
4bells can do the scouting round the island - she likes to hike!
I'll make the booze from coconuts and assorted fruit - my cider is coming along nicely!
Rae can keep us laughing
Oink always comes up with new topics of conversation.
Iain can keep me moderate.

And for reaL: I'd like to be stuck with this guy.



He used to be a music producer for Brian Eno and played guitar for David Bowie

..... or Scarlett Johanson - but don't tell my wife!
