.... I know this has been done umpteen times before but indulge me. Who would you take and why

I would take:

  1. My boyfriend Johnny Depp -allroudn entertainer and mind-taker-offerer
  2. Dave Grohl - musical accompaniement and he f*&in ROCKS
  3. Anthony Bourdain - cooks up a storma likes an after dinner port and cigar
  4. Dom Joly or Jack Dee, can't really call it - I like a laugh
  5. Extraordinarily fit and lithe and young surfer I happened to catch out of the corner of my eye at the beach today while I was making sandcastles with the FBs and he was getting out of his wetsuit - eye-candy and may be usefull in fashioning bivouacs and shimmying up coconut trees.

and yours?

he could say what he likes- i just love his voice!hes a tad good looking too

parceltongueisnotgibberish · 19/07/2007 23:32

I know. There's just something about him. Was listening to him on Radio 1 the other week (still trying to convince myself I'm young enough to listen to R1 although it is crap) and it was pure bliss. He's good in Jekyll and Hyde programme too. I wouldn't mind him sinking his fangs into me...

Sod the food, I'll live on raw fish and coconuts. Can I swap Jamie Oliver for Noel Fielding?

LoonyLyraLovegood · 20/07/2007 20:53

Tinker, I've met Sarfraz Manzoor. we went to a Pet Shop Boys gig years ago, then for a drink afterwards. He was a nice guy.

BooWidger · 21/07/2007 03:23

Joining in, better late than never!!

Bruce Springsteen - My first love, still does it for me plus he could keep me entertained musically;

Steven King - Can churn out novels at the rate of knots so i'd always have something to read and stuff to burn when i'm done reading;

Will Smith - Sexy as hell with the added bonus of being a really nice bloke as well! (From what i've heard!!);

Harry Hill - My own island comedian and was also trained as a doctor before changing careers so could help with any medical matters!

Raymond Blanc - He can cook for me, grow all the veg and stuff we need and teach me French to stave off boredom!

(Notice my choices have more than one quality - sadly I thought long and hard about this!!!)

Tinker · 21/07/2007 23:14

Oops to extra ed there in my excitement. Was it an, er, date???

gibberish · 21/07/2007 23:19

I've got to add Colin Firth too. As Mr Darcy obviously. Why? He could teach me how to be a laydeee. Well would need to after all the inappropriate behaviour going on with the other 5.
