Things To Do While Waiting For Death... 2006

[Godot 149]

I've been trying to play ' Desert Island Discs ' for a long time now, but can't quite get my list down to eight records. For those who don't know, you get to take only eight records ( singles ) with you to the island, plus one book and a luxury item. I think you're also given the complete works of Shakespeare too.

 

Anyway, I can cheat and select eight albums, but I can't quite get the eight singles. I mean, they'd be the ones you would have to listen to forevermore! I know I'd have some Beatles in there, but how to choose???

 

So, can any of you select your Desert Island Discs? It really does keep you busy.

 

By the way, I know what my luxury item would be.... Ray Mears he could make me a lovely shelter, select the right plants/berries/wildlife to eat, make me a boat... etc.

 

etc?

Play this insect-eating game.

Love will Tear us Apart - Joy Division

Are you allowed a person as your luxury item? If so, I'd have Johnny Depp.

 

Forget the discs - I wouldn't have time to sit around listening to music.....

well, Six went for a person and it was her idea, so I just copied. Nice LFC avatar by the way, LD, especially as the mighty Reds are due to destroy Wham on Saturday.

Do Paedophiles Cheat Britain's Swans?

 

Does Tony Blair Give Britain's Swans Cancer?

 

Not sure why the references to swans made me laugh in particular.

Damn fine choices CR, at this precise moment mine are: -

Rain Song - Led Zeppelin

I Am The Resurrection - The Stone Roses

You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones

Exit Music For A Film - Radiohead

Star Guitar - Chemical Brothers

The Staunton Lick - Lemon Jelly

Sing - Blur

Just Who Is The 5 O'Clock Hero? - The Jam

 

I kept it to a maximum of 1 song per artist just to add a bit of variety, and had to try not to pick from your list of artists too much. The list will have changed by the time I press 'add reply' though.

 

As for luxury item, that would be a cannabis plant I reckon. Or better still, a plantation. If I were actually on Desert Island Discs, I might change that to Cameron Diaz. I'd finally get the chance to see if 'she would' if I truly was the last man alive (on the island at least, same principle). I reckon after a few days of my undoubted charm, we'd be, er, really good mates.... in that special way that means the same as 'No f*cking chance. Ever. Ever.'

 

By the way, I know what my luxury item would be.... Ray Mears he could make me a lovely shelter, select the right plants/berries/wildlife to eat, make me a boat... etc.

 

etc?

Maybe that's the real reason his show is called 'Ray Mears Bushcraft'.

indeed! Well, it is a desert island. What's a girl to do??

 

Anyway, I'm changing my mind, I think I'd rather have Christian Slater as my luxury item. I'm sure he's good at survival skills too.

 

I still can't choose the music though, although I very much liked Lady Die's response to this and will follow her lead!!

That was really hard to do, I know I will change my mind after I've posted them but here goes:

 

No Sheep 'til Buxton - The Macc Ladds

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

Touch Too Much - AC/DC

Smoking in the Boys Room - Motley Crue

Balls to the Wall _ Accept

Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Market Square Heroes - Marillion

I'm Eighteen - Alice Cooper

Baba O'Reilly - The Who

It Ain't Easy - David Bowie

 

Strictly speaking I don't think they were all released as 'singles', but I don't care!

 

Could I have a boat as a luxury item or would that be cheating? Failing that I'll settle for Goran Visnjic, after all I may have to rely on some of the medical skills he picked up on er and if not I'm sure I could find a use for him that would make me forget about being rescued

If you life were a movie what rating would it be?

My life has been rated 15:

Suitable for 15 years or older. Films in this category can be about anything, say ‘f*ck’ a lot, probably get to see all sorts of guns and shooting, but no open heart surgery with a knife. Most ‘R’ rated films in America fit into this category.
