Luxury item for a Desert Island/Jungle?

[BondGirl]

Ok, imagine that you are going to be away for 6 months and are only allowed one luxury item (not chocolate or vodka tho - that would be a standard requirement!), what would you take?

Have thought long and hard and mine would have to be George Clooney...

Toilet paper, quilted.

[magicdice]

you'd take george clooney, but no tweezers, razors, soap, shampoo, conditioner, clean underwear (actually scrap that one, i doubt it'd be applicable with him there!)

[ICEMANSAV]

A powerboat for when I get bored!

[Gevs1966]

I'd take BondGirl for when I get bored..

[BondGirl]

Gevs1966 - You're the best! You've just made my day!!magicdice - like you say, would these items really be necessary?  heh heh.  Surely tho on a serious note - your body would sort itself out - you know, like if you don't wash your hair for weeks (I can't actually go longer than a day!!), it will clean itself or am I talking pump here? (thread for another debate methinks!)

In A Pickle - I think that's a great answer - it's not sad at all - we all have different pleasures (mine just happens to be George!!), and if would keep you sane on your island then that's all that counts.

BondGirl, you can't take George Clooney because you could shelter underneath him to avoid the elements, and that would be cheating.

[ursula62]

Yes, RogK is right. The rules are that you can only use your luxury for decadent purposes and not for necessity.

Therefore, you couldn't ask George to fetch water, chop wood, build a shelter, go fishing, start a fire etc etc etc but... there's plenty of other things a chap is useful for ;-)

I hear he plays a great game of charades??

 

bondgirl, you are most welcome x

[CiderMonkey]

lip balm!

[netibiza]

I  would take  In a pickle he has a great sense of humour, a lot of common sense and makes a mean afternoon tea:  Once he has settle me into my (previously made) hammock and served me fresh pineapple and coconut juice, he can then read to me Charles Dickens. Don't worry IAP am not gonna become your stalker!!!!

[BondGirl]

 But RogK it's my island and I will cheat if I want to and I just HAVE to take him.  Surely using him for as many things as possible is just being initiative!! And as for sheltering under him...oh, hold that thought!!

Seriously though (she says breaking her reverie!!) if I couldn't take George, I'd probably take a machete, medicine (malaria tabs and the likes) or a fishing line and hook.  It's just knowing exactly what would be provided already - does anyone know anyone that appeared on that Channel 4 show a few years back - Deserted was it?  Stranded?  Some girl took lipstick as her luxury item - what a WASTE!!  Does it really matter when you're stuck out there? 

God I'd love to do something like that!  What an experience!

[beale]

A huge pyramid of Ferrero Rocher on a silver tray. For I have excellent taste.

[BondGirl]

Gevs1966 - CHARADES????  As if George and I would have time for charades - there'd be so many other things to do, like....well,.....you know....Just stuff!!   Tidying the camp up....erm.....fishing....yeh, loads of other time consuming things that I just can't name... ; )))))

[Little Lady]

Hmm Neale Donald Walch he is certainly an interesting bloke oy maybe my dad....

[Gevs1966]

eye spy???

[BondGirl]

Gevs1966 I despair of you!! ; )  *sigh*...And anyway, what would you spy - sand....sea...sky - see the game would be over quicker than it began, not even worth starting!!

Moisturiser by the bucketful.

I'm with CiderMonkey - I'd go mad without my lipbalm!
