What! he just vanished without trace? This is bad, 'cos it means he is invisible now! he can sneak about and we can't see him, oh no. Athena, yes you do still need suncream;although this is a fantasy island, we can't stop the sun burning us [the fantasy doesn't extend as far as that.]You can have a lot more on your island than you asked for, in fact I now want, Jude Law to go [he is irritating mumbling his script all day long] Vimes you can have him? a swimsuit [swim costume] I am getting sunburned in parts I would rather not. A bale of fluffy towels.

I don't give a monkeys that I went out and forgot to brush my hair this morning!

cakes

I have [every Christmas!] it's lovely, mmmnnnn never have I planted turnips

ok so my quote is........... 'that was not the reason' he looks up. 'May I speak?' 'Oh for God's sake, 'Henry cries 'I wish someone would.' He is startled. Then he understands. Henry wants a conversation, on any topic. One that's nothing to do with love, or hunting, or war. Now that ********** is gone there's not much scope for it;unless you want to talk to a priest of some stripe.And if you send for a priest, what does it come back to? To love; to A***;to what you want and can't have.

Aha! At last one that I know! Heard this one on audiotape recently. Its from The Age Of Innocence -by Edith Wharton.Probably out of print as a book now?

Sorry Athena, it wouldn't let me type anything so your post has to appear twice on here. anyway your island sounds fine!

Hi Poppy! Big mistake re the sardine cake! Poor Hugh, he was expecting you to be a first rate baker! Yes I agree it WILL be Rincewind, so look out for any missing sandwiches [a good book title 'The Sandwich Thief'] No, I have heard of Mary Wesley but haven't read any of her books, all I know about her is that she started writing very late in life.Calypso just sounded right for a tropical Island.

neither has anyone Vimes! well, apart from a few astronauts. never have I worked in a pub or bar

Don' t think I shall be any use at this game, as I not only do not know the quotes but have never even heard of the books in question!

An update on my Island; Jude Law seems very happy here, although he says he must get back in 3 months as he is starting a new film then, he will take this opportunity to learn his script. He takes an early morning swim, then takes Calypso for a walk, then settles down with the script for a bit, I have noticed that he can only read if he says the words in a mutter at the same time, which is a bit distracting, and he asks if we can 'have a run through' of a scene later! Ooh!er! hope it's a romantic scene.I fish most days, something I have never done before but am getting good at, and prepare a snack of fruit for us. I read, listen to the radio and sometimes go fruit and nut gathering, it's a marvellous existance.My Island has a lovely clear stream running through it and a waterfall which flows into a warm crystal like small lake, where we all frolic [even the dog.]Lots of coconut trees, some banana plants, pineapples and mangoes here , also several kinds of nut trees. The sand is almost white, very fine and warm to sit on.All sorts of birds flit about, very colourful and pleasant to listen to. There is nothing larger than a mouse living here, and hardly any insects. We have named the Island now............. Bounty Island [like the choccy ad on tv, they came in search of Paradise.] Bliss.

Yes, as Vimes says.....it's a 5 star Island! You can have three things each time you post on here Athena, and tell us a bit about your Island?

ketchup, poured on with gusto

Hmmmn, braai and aromat? words that I have never heard, are you a Hobbit Vimes? I watched a horror movie once [scared me] never again. never have I worn yellow shoes

love

sooner, but knew in their

Never mind, short of tying Rincewind up there is nothing you can do, but I have put Calypso 'on guard'.Hmmmmn, not in China but wanting to move there one day eh?Hong Kong!!!yummy noodles. Do you really have to ask why Jude law? He would liven things up around here and just stand about looking handsome [although he is losing his hair a bit.]

Well, that sounds great Vimes, I will look for them on Amazon. Are they new or old-ish books? I am guessing they are SF but maybe not?

Roll Out The Barrel-old song, unknown.

I have! [guilty as charged m'Lud!] never have I eaten corn -on -the -cob [i have eaten normal sweetcorn though, but just can't bring myself to eat from the cob.]

and an extra slice is even better! I don't give a monkey's if........I missed an episode of Atlantis [cos I can watch it on catch up!]

Thanks for the info from NZ Poppy, also for the pics of Lion Cubby [aww he is cute.] Vimes, you are a mystery! I assumed you were from US because you say things like 'neat'........ are you from China then? Athena........... you haven't sent for anything from Desert Island Suppliers.com for a long time, you must need something? Now, more of my sandwiches have vanished today [Rincewind does NOT find them under stones!]Calypso chased him off but not before he escaped with my lunch [Wensleydale and tomato sandwiches] I grew the toms myself from plants that I ordered.I have been playing my [wind up] radio today and reading on my solar powered Kindle.What a great life this is, but I now need Jude Law [well, why not?] a new box of Earl Grey teabags, powdered milk.
