NoelVilla Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 3x albums Definitely Maybe, The Masterplan and Chasing Yesterday 3x books 3 swedish ones. Think only 'A man called Ove' might be known internationally. 3x films Shawshank Redemption, Usual Suspects and Escape from New York 1x tv boxset West Wing 1x extra entertainment object (could be a guitar, or a mountain bike, or a football, or a surfboard). Basically, something to pass the time. Im stealing Midfielders idea. Ximena Cordoba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't dream of chopping the legs off and using them as oars to row the table home, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Albums - Slint - Spiderland, Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You (both very meloncholic and suited to island life), Boris w/Merzbow - Gensho (it's about 4 hours long, lot's of choice) Books - IT and The Stand - Stephen King, Zettels Traum/Bottom's Dream - Arno Schmidt (apparently the longest novel published in a single volume, so why not) Films - The extended Lord of the Rings trilogy (again, I'm trying to get the most bang for buck) Boxset - X-Files (why haven't more people said this! It's really long, as has every sort of genre covered) Object - Colouring book w/pencils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Great thread this Xela, love some of the choices. Right then: 3x albums Oasis - What's the story, Oasis - Time Flies, a Take That album ( just to remember the wife). Hell no, what am I thinking? Third album - The complete Stone Roses. 3x books Paul McGrath - Back from the brink, Andy McNab - Bravo Two Zero, Bear Grylls - A survival guide ( I would definitely need it). 3 x Films Can i choose box sets/trilogies? If so, it would be Star Wars trilogy, Indiana Jones box set and Harry Potter box set. If this is cheating and I can only have stand alone films it would be: The Great Escape, The 39 Steps (1959 Kenneth More version), The Empire Strikes Back. 1x tv boxset The X-Files - complete set. Hours of entertainment. 1x extra entertainment object Top of the range metal detector. Always fancied one and know that I wouldn't look stupid using it on an island on my own! But, if we can take a fantasy female celeb.......can we make it a five year experiment? Edited May 19, 2017 by ferguson1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 The films and boxset would be pornography. The rest would need a bit more thought than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
