Desert island. Five women. Go,.

[UnquietDad]

The laydees have their own long-running version of this so I reckon it's about time we had one over here in Testosterone Corner.

For me:

1. Sarah Cracknell out of Saint Etienne.
   
2. Jayne Middlemiss.
   
3. Kim Wilde.
   
4. Stephanie Leonidas.
   
5. Konnie Huq.

[patronuscharm]

You'll have to share Konnie Huq with my DH UD

[BigGitDad]

Disappointed in your choices Unquitedad, thought all your choices would have been over 50!
1)Natalie Imbruglia
2)Jennifer Aniston
3)Melanie Sykes
4)Olivia Newton John
5)Charlotte Rampling
The last two are my over 50yr old choices but are still stunning.

[UnquietDad]

Yes, on reflection I should have put more than one MILF in.

[Norfolkenchants]

1. Abi Titmuss (for obvious reasons)

2. Joss Stone (to sing and enchant)
3. Natalie Portman (to hold my light sabre)
4. Liv Tyler (good for your elf)
5. Kirsten Dunst (to do the cleaning and the washing up)

Jayne Middlemiss, UQD? You freak.

Kim Wilde is still the near side of 50 (she's 46).

[lou33]

i had this exact conversation with my mate last night

cant remember all he chose but sophie marceau was in there

[tiredemma]

Abi Titmuss- You tart!

[MrsMills]

I always used to sign into the student union as Sarah Cracknell.

You didn't need to know that did you?

[cestlavie]

Had the conversation with some friends in the pub a couple of weeks ago.

Most of us went for the 'PC' options like those below (Natalie Imbruglia, Emmanuelle Beart, Audrey Tatou, Jennifer Aniston etc)

All except for one who went for all of Girls Aloud. Reasoning? "Cos they're filthy aren't they"! (Cue slap from girlfriend...)

[DaddyJ]

Thought-provoking thread, UQD!
Feel compelled to contribute:

1. The Missus (for sex and Salsa)
   
2. Emmanuelle Béart (for French lessons) or Pe Cruz (for Spanish lessons) - someone decide for me
   
3. that woman from 'How clean is your house' (for cleaning and getting the frigging sand out of my stuff)
   
4. Nigella Lawson (for cooking, baking and making desserts)
   
5. Sylvia Saint (for general island admin)

[UnquietDad]

cestlavie - So the gf of the Girls Aloud fan presumably thought everyone else was nominating their chosen women for their stimulating conversation and fine moral rectitude?!

[UnquietDad]

daddj - the ladies are banning DHs from their choices so we should ban Missuses from ours. That gives you an extra bird! Don't waste it now...

[Daddster]

Chaps, we're starting to stray into the area of "I wouldn't mind having her on my island as she makes a nice cup of tea..." territory.

Reminds me of the Sean Hughes gag about the kind of pet you have reflecting the kind of woman you're after.

When you're a kid, you want a kitten because they're fun to play with.

When you're a teenager, you want a horse that'll let you ride it.

When you move out of home, you want a dog to keep you company.

When you hit thirty, you just want a goldfish because they don't take much looking after...

[DaddyJ]

UQD, I read that 5 minutes after posting..
have been wracking my brains since.
Daddster, I am hearing you.

Ok, assuming that dw was completely out of the picture
careful rejigging of Team J is required.

Cooking & general admin will be a team effort.
'How clean is your house' woman stays, though.

So, this is the new list:

1. Emmanuelle Béart (for French lessons and moody aggressive sex)
   
2. Pe (for Spanish lessons and Salsa - sex only if she
   promises not to speak English)
   
3. that woman from 'How clean is your house' (I really do hate sand)
   
4. Kristin Scott Thomas (for deep intellectual headfucks)
   
5. Boris Johnson (the ideal roasting partner;
   under his editorship the Spectator was - allegedly - a virtual knocking shop,
   that kind of experience will be very valuable on the Island)

[mytwopenceworth]

Ok. Now 5 female mners...go on...I dare you...and why....

And if I'm not on each list I will come find you.....

[FlameDelacour]

"4. Liv Tyler (good for your elf) "

Love it!

[lou33]

surely monica bellucci would be on someones list?

[Daddster]

As far as MN-ers go.

1. filthymindedvixen (got to be a good bet with a name like that)
   
2. dancingtina (read some of her posts - tsss!)
   
3. foxinsocks (again - it's the name)
   
4. Xenia (for when I want a damn good stand up row)
   AND 5. chilledmama (but only to find out if she really is Gina Ford in disguise).

[Gee72]

It's deeply tragic but I'm having trouble coming up with 5. Think I need to pop to Harley St and get my testosterone levels checked. Anyhoo, I had to resort to some time travel:

1. Juliette Binoche (zut alors!)
   
2. Kristin Davis (mmm)
   
3. Julie Christie (Billy Liar era)
   
4. Louise Brooks (bobtastic)
   
5. Sarah Beeny (I could show her my plans for a beach shelter and she could huskily inform me of her serious reservations. She also looks like a decent swimmer.)
   
   I can see the appeal of Nigella but I reckon ingredients for a millefieulle would be in short supply and anyway I've gone off her since she married that Tory blimp.
   
   Mytwopenceworth - I think your suggestion is verrrrry dangerous territory!

[mytwopenceworth]

I know Gee. [evil]

And Daddster. If I may ask you to reconsider. Granted, I have a face like a bag of chisels and a body like a dozen ferrets in a sack, but I am funny at least once every full moon AND I argue about EVERYTHING, thus keeping you mentally stimulated - or your brain will turn to mush. AND I will help the years pass in a flash by keeping you very busty building me shelters and fetching stuff.

[mytwopenceworth]

Well, obviously I meant busy, but becoming busty will also give you some entertainment.

[Enid]

god five women oin a desert island

they'll all be crying within a week

[CatIsSleepy]

LOL at mytwopenceworth...
if Daddster becomes busty enough he might not need any company on his island!

[meandmyflyingmachine]

And their periods will become synchronised...

[CatIsSleepy]

Enid ...or bickering

(ooh is that a bit sexist?)

[Daddster]

Already got beer boobs, thank you very much.
