ED Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Help me re. something I'm working on! If you had to spend 5 years locked in a room, but could choose what you took in with you - what would it be?

ED Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Toilets and Matrix type food paste included.

ChrisVillan Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 At the risk of giving a serious answer, the guitar I own but have never picked up or a foreign language textbook.

It was decided that the young man should spend the years of his captivity under the strictest supervision in one of the lodges in the banker's garden. It was agreed that for fifteen years he should not be free to cross the threshold of the lodge, to see human beings, to hear the human voice, or to receive letters and newspapers.
