.... 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?

Michael Caines - chef
Noel from Mighty Bosch
John Sims
Stephen Fry
lead singer of metaliica (whose name I have forgotten)

LoonyLyraLovegood · 19/07/2007 21:30

James Hetfield, gothicmama.

gothicmama · 19/07/2007 21:33

that's it and Noel's surname is Fielding I can go to bed and rest easy now

gothicmama · 19/07/2007 21:33

thanks lllg

BoingBoing · 19/07/2007 22:03

Richard Armitage ? mean & moody & gorgeous
Lee Mead - plain gorgeous & he can sing too!
Ewan McGregor ? have you SEEN the size of his....smile?
George Clooney ? a little charm and sophistication is VERY seductive
Rupert Everett - for a gorgeously entertaining bitchfest when I need a night off

But I think 7 would be a better number. One for every night of the week. (that would be Clive Owen & Gordon Ramsay, but only for his cooking)

CatIsSleepy · 19/07/2007 22:03

gothicmama you can't have noel, he's mine

jessem · 19/07/2007 22:04

Yum. My favourite fantasy kind of thread.

  1. Johnny Depp (if suzy let's me share) - does he really need an explanation?
  2. The bloke in Tesco's who chatted me up today - cos he was gorgeous
  3. Sawyer from Lost (gosh, he's popular, phwoar) I could borrow his hair dryer
  4. James Nesbitt - I could listen to that accent all day long
  5. George Clooney - a bit of sophistication in amongst the crumpet
parceltongueisnotgibberish · 19/07/2007 22:11

Arrrgh - LETS not LET'S.

pirategirl · 19/07/2007 22:11

parceltongueisnotgibberish, you are forgiven for your inappropriate use of the apostrophe

parceltongueisnotgibberish · 19/07/2007 22:16

Oh thankyou, thankyou! That's TWICE tonight I've used it inappropriately though. I will soon be banished from MN

Bollywould · 19/07/2007 22:37

I love this thread, it has cheered up my Thursday evening.

  1. Josh Holloway (Sawyer)- no explanation needed
  2. George Clooney - useful when you fancy a black tie evening on desert island
  3. Goran Visnic (sp?) Teach yourself Croatian while you're stranded
  4. Robbie Williams - in case you were missing the kids and needed someone who wants looking after
  5. John Taylor from Duran Duran- you were my first love and first love never dies !!!!
LoonyLyraLovegood · 19/07/2007 22:39

Suddenly everyone wants Sawyer. He's taken, ladies. Tsk.

Daniel Day Lewis - conversation and intellect and intense sex
Liam Neeson - big in every way and caveman sex
Aiden Quinn - piercing blue eyes to get lost in while having passionate sex
Gabriel Byrne - charm and maturity and tender sex
Cillian Murphy - youth and inexperience and lots of corrupting dirty sex.
