.... 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?

I have a thing about the blonde Scottish ex-centurion in Rome at the moment [what is wrong with me?] - he would be good for general slaying & foraging

Mark Athony (in the same programme).

Also the cheshire cat in Eastenders, bit of a laaaaad, ginger (!) - anyone?

Daniel Craig - I'll have him.

Peter Calpadi (or the writer of The Thick of It) just to make me laugh, nothing else thank you very much.

peachypie · 18/07/2007 15:53

Is that true they are hairless! all over?!

expatinscotland · 18/07/2007 15:53

Jet's body. He'd probably be all masterful about it, too.

He's delicious.

tiredemma · 18/07/2007 15:53

ha ha ha expat.

good idea- who needs food and song when you can shag hot men?

GroaningGameGirly · 18/07/2007 15:54

Oh God, I'd forgotten Goran. Can I swap him for James Martin? I shall live off the food of luuuurve instead of proper food. Mind you, I won't need it 'cos we'll be on pudding island!

expatinscotland · 18/07/2007 15:55

I thought James Martin was gay. Why'd you want to take along a gay bloke to a desert island.

Uh uh, nope. Goran is mine.

suzywong · 18/07/2007 15:55

well, not underarm and downbelow, but no hair elsewhere

ginger could work for to ring the changes, but not david caruso, he'd burn your retina

  1. Piers Morgan
  2. Bill Clinton
  3. Stephen Fry
  4. Machiavelli
  5. Alistair Campbell

The sex bit I can handle myself, thanks v much, it's the other 23 hours a day that need looking after.

harpsichordcuddler · 18/07/2007 15:56

oooh
David Tennant
Simon Schama because he's clever
Bear thingy so he can do the practical stuff (but I really don't want to sleep with him)
John Cusack
Charles Hazlewood so he can tell me about music
ooooh waht fun

peachypie · 18/07/2007 15:56

Maybe a gay guy would be good for discussing which palm leaf coverage would look best.

suzywong · 18/07/2007 15:56

James Martin wears pink, a lot, and runs a cookery shop in Winchester. I rest my case, m'lud.

God I feel guilty, using MN for my tipsy entertainment, does no one have a defrosting chicken or how to smack a 3 year old question?

who is Jet Li?

GroaningGameGirly · 18/07/2007 15:57

Is he? Is he gay? [GGG wiggles gaydar which is obviously faulty] No, you're right, why take a gay guy along.

oliveoil · 18/07/2007 15:57

Gok Wan has got the gay section covered (ooer)

expatinscotland · 18/07/2007 15:57

Who is Jet Li?

He's my second husband, OO! That's who.

Hot, hot, HOT!

oliveoil · 18/07/2007 15:58

he better be fit [I am aged 14]

expatinscotland · 18/07/2007 15:58

He's not 14. And, as a martial expert, he's way, way fit.

expatinscotland · 18/07/2007 15:59

MMmm, that scene in 'Hero' with him naked from behind. Drool.

oliveoil · 18/07/2007 16:00

allgonebellyup · 18/07/2007 16:00
