.... 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 yes, yes, yes this really is splendid reading.

i was also considering someone to have a bitch with. A necessary facet of human life I thinkg {bahhhhhh to all the fluffies]. I reckon Anthony Bourdain has a sharp tongue.

No husbands or partners. No. They are not in the public domain.

Michael Hutchence (ok he is dead but this is a not likely to happen scenario)

Bob Geldorf

Jeremy Kyle

All of this is entertainment of course.

DH and Fern britton. Everyone would fuck Fern

DangerousBeans · 19/07/2007 00:31

Bear Grylls
Ray Mears
so that's the food and shelter sorted

Stephen Fry
Alan Rickman
for chats and jolly japes

Bill Bailey
who will be charged with creating great merriment at a moment's notice

UCM · 19/07/2007 00:31

Sorry 5 blokes....

Alan Sugar. I would jump on his face so he could guess me weight anytime!!!!!!!!

frapachino · 19/07/2007 00:32

DH
My next door neighbour (I have fantasies about him
Daniel Craig
Ricky Gervais
Peter Kay

WideWebWitch · 19/07/2007 07:33

Jonathon Ross to make me laugh
Phillip Glenister to be macho (but probably useless), I've finally seen his appeal now we've started watching life on Mars

sockmonkey · 19/07/2007 07:36

Hugh Jackman - for singing show tunes with.
Richard Hammond - To drive me around in a car he fashioned from wood.
Daniel Craig - to save the day
James Martin - for the food
David Tennant - to talk about Doctor Who

All can be my eye candy too.

Northumberlandlass · 19/07/2007 07:59
  1. Matt Burke (Aussie Rugby Legend - for the down right dirty stuff)
2.Peter Kay 3.John Barrowman (sigh.....I can always try and also to practice tap dancing routines) 4. Michael Buble (to sing to me) 5. Sebastian Chabal (mmmmm - you just can't have too many rugby players)

Just the thought of it all......

schneebly · 19/07/2007 08:09

Sawyer from lost
Jack from lost
sayid from lost
all very useful on an island I am sure!

also Frankie Boyle (Scottish comedian from Mock the Week) for a laugh

and (yes I know he is no longer with us) Jeff Buckley for the music.

OggsfrogswartsExpress · 19/07/2007 08:14

D'oh! How could I forget....right..... slight alteration.......I've ditched Stephen Fry/John Barrowman/Graham Norton and airlifted in Hugh Jackman instead

sockmonkey · 19/07/2007 09:17

Gerroff Jackman, he's mine!
OOOOOOOOklahoma - see I sing the best!!

heifer · 19/07/2007 09:18
  1. Ray Mears - I would like to survive on this island..
  1. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall - I would like to eat on this island

  2. Graham Norton - to make me larf

  3. Will Smith - all round good looker and funny guy.

  4. Enrique Iglesias - for the rest of my entertainment!!!! ah those eyes... they would make me feel that I was the only woman in his world (which of course stuck on a dessert island would be true)....

hufflebranpuff · 19/07/2007 09:22

Those of you who are not taking any practical men, just gorgeous ones, have you thought about how exhausted you will be doing all the work while they laze around all day looking wonderful? Not to mention that you won't be getting much sleep.

FlameDelacour · 19/07/2007 09:28

Another Johnny Depp one... I think I might make up my 4 with all him (like the ship of Cap'n Jacks) - I will have him in various looks

like this

and then this

and sometimes this

this when he's bored

and I will chuck someone else in for good measure... not decided who yet though Will take DH in piratey garb whilst I think on it...

patronuscharm · 19/07/2007 09:33

I would take:

John Barrowman - okay so he's gay but looks a good laugh all the same. Might allow JB to bring his husband (so that's two gone then).
James Marsters (aka Spike from Buffy)
Gorden Ramsey to do my cooking
David Tennant

patronuscharm · 19/07/2007 09:34

This is an island with all mod cons I'm assuming

FlameDelacour · 19/07/2007 09:36

Ooh how did I forget Spike!?!? And Seth Green - I will have just 3 of Mr Depp, and add those two in as 4 and 5

sockmonkey · 19/07/2007 09:38

Is any one else worried that their legs might end up hairier than their desert island companions?

patronuscharm · 19/07/2007 09:40

Nope because the 5* hotel on the island will have everything you need to keep smooth and unhairy. - There is a hotel - isn't there?

FlameDelacour · 19/07/2007 09:42

None of em have hairy legs on Lost - it'll be fiiiiiiiiiiiiine

Lolly68 · 19/07/2007 09:46

I would take:

  1. Daniel Craig
  2. Sean Bean
  3. John Terry
  4. Danny Dyer
  5. Peter Kay (to of course make me laugh)
Filchymindedvixen · 19/07/2007 09:59

(I have thought of a cunning way to sneak more men on my island. Olive won't suspect a thing...)

Hem hem, oh gosh, look, there's a raft heading towards my island. With Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey on it! What an extraordinary thing that they should escape from bamama's island and now being drifting twoards me!

And look...Can that be Aragorn dangling from that parachute?

sockmonkey · 19/07/2007 10:00

A lot of Peter Kays and Bill Baileys. I have been trying to think of a really good looking comedian, and I'm drawing a blank... surely there must be one?

Filchymindedvixen · 19/07/2007 10:00

Why bless my socks, Thierry's hanginging onto to Aragorn's ankles!
