.... 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?

Mmmm, I'm going to have:

Phil Spencer (from Location Location Location)

Richard Hammond

Daniel Craig (I'll join the queue shall I?)

James Anderson (cricketer - yummy)

The above are all for shagging so for non-shagging amusement I'll have Billy Connolly.

CharleeWeasley · 19/07/2007 10:33
  1. Daniel Radcliffe (to ogle)
2. Peter kay (laughter) 3. Lee Evans (layghter) 4. Jamie Oliver (cooking, and he's quite fit) 5. Will Young ( to sing to me!)
heifer · 19/07/2007 10:57

David Tennant because he is funny and good looking

John Barrowman ditto above, plus I think the 2 of them together would be fun

Liam Neeson because he is tall and Irish and good looking and makes me feel like a woman (oo-er)

Mel Gibson because I don't give a damn about his beliefs, his eyes and voice make me melt. Also, a bit of Australian in him (I know he isn't but he lived there a while) and that would remind me of dh

Sean Bean as long as he came dressed as Sharpe.

What is all this nonsense about picking men who can cook or sing? Who cares about that?!

mintchips · 19/07/2007 11:32

I would take

Daniel Craig in those shorts
Nigel Harman
Viggo Mortenson?? (him from lord of the rings but only in character)
Al The pub landlord bloke to make me laugh and serve drinks
David Gray for background music

OggsfrogswartsExpress · 19/07/2007 12:59

Sockmonkey - Alan Davies, Dylan Moran, Marcus Bridgestock?

OrmIrian · 19/07/2007 13:01

Why would I spoil a lovely desert island with men? Peace and solitude for a month or so, then a trip back on a convenient boat to make a fortune writing my memoirs.

Jonathan Ross, because he'd be great funny company
Anthony Keidis, for entertainment
Jamie Oliver, to cook
Lee Mead (Joseph) for obvious reasons
John Barrowman, for same reasons as Jonathan Ross.

saltireslytherin · 19/07/2007 13:32

DG - that's what I said, who wants to be cooked for, or papmered when you can shag. And you're not having sean bean, he's mine!

LoonyLyraLovegood · 19/07/2007 13:32

Actually can I swap Johnathan Ross (John Barrowman would be enough). I'll have Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost) instead to do all the tough guy stuff.
So that's:

  1. Anthony Keidis, for entertainment
  2. Jamie Oliver, to cook
  3. Lee Mead (Joseph) for obvious reasons
  4. John Barrowman, because he's very funny and would be great company.
  5. Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost) instead to do all the tough guy stuff
DumbledoresGirl · 19/07/2007 14:14

If I can't have Sean Bean (I only actually want Sharpe, the rest of himself he can keep!) then I would also quite like Jonathan Ross because when he goes off on a line of thought it can be hard to keep the car on the road (I listen to him in the car). Plus I love his confidence (same reason I want John Barrowman)

Nbg · 19/07/2007 14:15

DG what about Ioan Grufford???

DumbledoresGirl · 19/07/2007 14:23

Yes I want him too, but who to give up? can I have six please? especially as this was all about whiling the night away (hence my at people choosing people who can cook!) and John Barrowman would not be interested in that side of things.

Daniel Craig (have fancied him since Our Friends in the North)

David Tennant - for the obvious reasons + he can transport me back to England when I'm ready to come home (in about 2099)

Sawyer from Lost ( same reason as DC & DT)

David Bowie for singing & intelligent conversation (ok, I fancy him too)

Not too sure about number 5. I can cook for myself (& am veggie so don't need anyone to chase the animals on my behalf) I feel it ought to someone practical but can't think of anyone who wouldn't get on my nerves. The Jeremy Clarkson suggestion is a good one, provided there were LOTS of coconuts and he had been struck mute

MamaD · 19/07/2007 15:23

David Boreanz (to shag..........lots)
Anthony Head (to be intellectual and funny)
Vinny Jones (for protection)
Anyone from the A Team (coz they can build rocket launchers out of toilet rolls so must be able to build me a shelter!)
Alyson Hannigan (for girlie chats and because if I was going to 'ahem' experiment that's who I'd try.

Oh, and I'll do the bloody cooking - how hard can BBQ fish be?

bamamama · 19/07/2007 16:11

perhaps these are lots of little islands (like some luxury resort or somesuch). The Johnny Depps and David Tennants of this world can be shipped about from island to island as there seems to be some overlaps. Noone is having Dylan Moran though. Got to have some consistancy somewhere...

sockmonkey · 19/07/2007 16:51

OFE - Alan Davies has silly hair, as does Dylan. Sorry.
Marcus Bridgestock has a bit of a Louis Theroux look about him which is quite nice. Thannks for that one

becaroo · 19/07/2007 18:13

Hmmm...

Jean Christophe Novelli to cook for me and sex

Eddie Izzard to make me laugh andsex

Louis Theroux/Dom Joly for witty conversation and sex

Daniel Craig and Rob Lowe to wrestle naked for my amusement and sex

Can I go now?......Can I?...........

WilkiesWizardWheezes · 19/07/2007 18:57
  1. Brad Pitt - to have sex with
2. Sawyer from Lost - to have dirty sex with 3. Jeremy Sheffield - to convert into a heterosexual and have sex with 4. Theirry Henry - to have sex with 5. David Beckham - to stay keep quiet and have sex with

....do I have to stick to 5?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!?????

brandnewhelsy · 19/07/2007 19:05

Desert island? All to myself? Sod off, I'd want some peace! Five whingeing men, no thank YOU.

Stash of tasteful porn and my imagination and memories, that'll do.

OrmIrian · 19/07/2007 19:59

Well exactly! Why waste peace and quiet and sandy beaches and sun, on men. They only balls it up by wanting to play footie or sit there scratching something unsavoury and interrupt me whilst I was trying to read the bible and the Complete Works of Shakespeare or something . My DH would be whingeing about not being able to watch/hear the football. And getting all antsy because he didn't have a paper.

CatIsSleepy · 19/07/2007 20:15

right.

after alot of thought ()my 5 are

noel fielding
jarvis cocker
alexander armstrong
gael garcia bernal
goran visnjic
