gardengirl Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Like desert island discs [without the discs.] If you were washed up on a small desert island what 3 things [luxuries] would you want? There is food and water on the island [fruit, a few veggy things and nuts] and leaves to wear as clothes, though it's a warm island anyway. my luxuries are, a wind up radio, a double duvet [nights may be cold-ish] the complete works of W. Shakespeare How about you? Quote
Vimes Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Hmmm... Luxury items? *thinking* 1. A satellite phone (so that I can at least order take always now and then ) 2. A small Wendy house (for those tropical storms) 3. Pillows Quote
gardengirl Posted September 26, 2013 Author Posted September 26, 2013 A jar of lemon curd, a spoon, my reading glasses [otherwise I can't read the Shakespeare!] Quote
Vimes Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Honey A crate of books And a never ending glass of ice cold coca cola Quote
Vimes Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Oh and definately some Oreo's and marshmellows Quote

At least I didn't say a nice dragon to take me to other islands for a visit now and then or pink fluffy bunny rabies because the make a nice stew and I didn't even mention the unicorns! Gald you didn't as that would have been a bit worrying!!!Looks like it's just you and me on this topic Vimes. My next three things would be...... A state of the art fishing rod, a box of matches, and a big plate. Quote
Vimes Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 LOL, it would be.. Yes it seems as as if it is just us...sitting on an island...no body wants to join ...lol ignore me my sense of humor is getting the better of me here . ok serious face...next three things hmmm A big towel Sun screen And a comfy deck chair! Quote
Athena Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I think I'd want noise-cancelling headphones, ipod (in case the noise cancelling bit doesn't fade out other noises enough), books (can I have a house? I suppose not). I've never really thought about it, these scenarios are very scary to imagine for me as anything unexpected and new is difficult. I have trouble spending a night in a place that isn't home, let alone on a deserted island where you're out in the wild. It's difficult for me to be outside longer than an hour, let alone being outside the whole time *shudders*. Quote
gardengirl Posted September 28, 2013 Author Posted September 28, 2013 Aww poor Athena........ it would be nice and quiet for you anyway on the Island. You can't have a house but you can have a large wind-proof tent, how's that?So, that's a tent and headphones, you need a third thing, hhhmmmn, a camp-bed! Now think of three things to put in your tent? Quote
Vimes Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Something else that might be useful to have is something to cook the food in so a pot or pan, A bath tub, And some soap! Quote
gardengirl Posted September 29, 2013 Author Posted September 29, 2013 You are right [never thought of that! I was going to just cook fish over the fire] a big towel [for after the soapy bath] comfy slippers, a fleece bathrobe Quote
Vimes Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 a solar dvd player (for those rainy days) A few dvds And some POP corn (to go with the movies) Quote
Kreader Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Hmmm, My luxuries would be; a knife (I like crafts, it would come in handy for DIY and carving) a mobile phone with good reception a friend (even if its a person to argue with. You know those kind of arguments that begin, "if you were the last person left in the world with me I wouldn't ...........") Quote

Maybe it would be better to have someone that you like with you? Quote
Marie H Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 My mp3 player My solar charger thingy (to keep my mp3 player going) Huge amounts of very good red wine! Quote
gardengirl Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 x Clothes (that fit me), a towel and my boyfriend (is that allowed?). that depends Athena! Is your boyfriend a luxury item, hhmmmmn?Lucky you. LOL, are we sure this augment wouldn't end badly for someone? Maybe it would be better to have someone that you like with you? I agree, especially as you have a craft knife on you Kreader !!!!! We wouldn't want a case of Death In Paradise. I wish for........ a replacement pair of specs [in case of breakages] a small saucepan, and [as it looks like it's settled we can have one person with us]Hugh Laurie [he's kind, intelligent and amusing and he enjoys a spot of fishing.] Quote
Vimes Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Hmmm... I would like....a solar powered fridge (so I can have cold water to drink), a umbrella and a suitcase full of cloths (so you always have something clean to wear) Edited October 1, 2013 by Vimes Quote
Athena Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 that depends Athena! Is your boyfriend a luxury item, hhmmmmn?Lucky you. x He isn't! I consider him a necessity . He's not an item though, it was because Kreader included a friend that I thought we'd be allowed to include people. I'd also want a replacement pair of glasses since I can't see my without them. Moral of the story, I'm definitely not suited to live on a deserted island . Quote
Vimes Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Think about the nice tan you could catch Athena . Quote
Athena Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Haha that's true, though if the weather is nice enough during the summer I can get a tan in my garden.. normally I just don't spend a lot of time outside because it's too noisy and too tiring. Once I have a tan it normally lasts for quite a few months, and I get a tan before I get sunburned in this country. So that's pretty good, I've always been happy with that. I'm a minor part Indonesian, several generations ago one of my dad's ancestors married an Indonesian woman. You can't really tell though, but I think the sun tanning ability comes from there. My mum sunburns much more easily (as does my sister). My brother and I can get a bit of a tan. Quote
Vimes Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Lucky you! I don't tan that well, it takes all summer for me to get a nice tan and then it fades quickly. It sounds like your family history is little bit of everything, like mine Edited October 1, 2013 by Vimes Quote
gardengirl Posted October 2, 2013 Author Posted October 2, 2013 Right, well as you mention it...... a bottle of sun tan lotion [good idea!] A bottle of after sun aloe vera gel [iam fair skinned and burn easily] and a bottle of gin. Quote
