.... 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?

Oh and Gerry Butler could sing "past the point of no return" to me, because I probalby would be by that point

michaelad · 18/07/2007 16:32

And I always thought I was the only one who was of that opinion... thank you Kerry!!

Just imagine him reading excerpts of erotic fiction to you while the sun slowly sets in the background..

normabutty · 18/07/2007 16:33

Nope, just want sex

michaelad · 18/07/2007 16:34

I just want him to read to me, that's all..

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 18/07/2007 16:36

Well Thierry Henry would have been number 1 on my list until he turned out to be a rat.
Otherwise:
Steven Dorff - yummy
John Taylor from Duran Duran - teenage crush
Eddie Izzard - funniest man ever
Bryan Ferry - another rat but lovely voice
Philip Pullman - for the stories

  1. Any chef, don't care which one. Need a good cook
  1. That handy andy or whatever he's called - gonna need a shelter!

  2. Jeremy Clarkson. Tied to a tree. I can pass the time throwing coconuts at him.

  3. Lennox Lewis. He can fight off beasties and keep me safe, plus he looks good to me. And after a few years on a desert island with me and 4 blokes, I'll look good to him.

  4. Jim Lowe. He's a boatbuilder. - well, I'm not going to stay on a poxy desert island for the rest of my bloody life!

normabutty · 18/07/2007 16:44

M2PW...pmsl @ throwing cocnuts @ J.C. Can I have one???

david tennant no others just me him and a bottle of baby oil.

Rocklover · 18/07/2007 19:10

Hmmm, this thread has perked me up no end!

  1. Well first choice would be Sean Bean, I bet he's good at dirty talk and rampant sex!!

  2. Erm to cook, James Martin, just because he does lush puddings and again has lush northern accent.

  3. To sing to me, Josh Todd from Buckcherry (could also take over when Seany's tired lol)

  4. Bill Bailey just because he is hilarious

  5. Why can we not include BFs, DPs, Dh's etc? Would it count if I divulged that mine rocks on guitar and could entertain everyone...?

No...ok last choice would be Barry Scott.....as a food reserve if natural sources run out. Plus I could squirt Cillit Bang on his unmentionables to torture him and see how HE likes being SHOUTED AT ALL FRIGGING DAY!!!!

LittleBellatrixLeBoot · 18/07/2007 19:15

Johnny Depp
Richard E Grant
Tariq Ali
Andrew Marr
Andy Hamilton

blackknight · 18/07/2007 19:40

From a blokes perspective i'd have-

Lucy Lawless (as Xena, Warrior Princess) - hubba hubba!

Sally Gunnell - not for her conversation - hubba hubba!

Nigella Lawson - for food - and hubba hubba!

Andrea Mclean and
the drummer from The Corrs!

Apart from being good looking, i'm sure they're all exceptional at housework too!!!

FioFioJane · 18/07/2007 19:42

I would rather take my dog

binkleandflip · 18/07/2007 19:44

Jeremy Vine
Lee Mack
Jak Gyllenhaal
Lee Mead
and my rabbit Charlie

BillWeasleyBeast · 18/07/2007 19:59
  1. Dave Grohl - he has a great voice and is bloomin' gorgeous
2. Mark Harmon - sexy older man 3. Gordon Ramsay - for the food and the chest (although suzy has tempted me with the delightful Mr Bourdain) 4. Goran Visnijc - it's the eyes I just can't help it 5. Dylan Moran or Eddie Izzard - I like a laugh, I also like a man in eyeliner
