Yes yes, Sofie would bring a pin to pop small childrens balloons, speedboat and a bomb to send that Island back where it came from.

I would bring a pocket radio, hammock and three cases of rum. Which is why I would be happy but also dead.

Miranda Kerr hardly inspires anything other than inanity Sofie..at least we may as well have some Desert Island fun with it.

I’d bring a hunting knife, a piece of flint and a gigantic vat of sunscreen. We redheads have our delicate skin to consider.

Of course, I’d also bring the memory of 19 seasons of Survivor which would likely assist me in both knowing how to build a shelter and daydream about Jeff Probst. So like Sam, I’d probably be happy and dead - but at least I’d have porcelain skin to take with me to the grave

If I am going to be trapped on a deserted island:
(1) My fishing gear - I might as well enjoy my time out (and get some food out of it).
(2) A rather substantial library - to pass the time as well as providing paper for lighting fires (I deliberately refrain from suggesting the purpose of any such fires - whether for cooking or to satisfy camping induced pyromania).

And this is where it gets tricky. Part of me is screaming:

(3) Keira Knightly.

the other part is screaming -

(3) Keira Knightly, and tell her to bring some drinking water….

Yeah, she’s lovely, and I can not think of anything nicer than to have her voice on the end of the line.

PS And thank God I’m only 25.

I would definitely take a corkscrew - even though most bottles are screwtop, you would kill yourself if a crate of wine turned up on the beach and they were cork tops.

I would take a book, one that I’ve never read and am never likely to - like War and Peace or the Bible - and then read it because I had nothing else to read.

And I would take a soccer ball. It was good enough for Tom.

.... Wilsuuuuun!

Well I would take the Rolling Stones for entertainment,Kevin Rudd [ for like me he does nothing ] and The Windsor.

A sixty foot catamaran, Lucy Lui and a bible.  Hey, wiping your bum with leaves can give you a rash.

Richard says:

I would bring rock climbing shoes, chalk to climb with and a satellite phone. So once i’m sick of climbing i would call to get me out of there.

Jamers Hunter says:

i take Miranda Kerr and a crate of Hortons Classic White and a months supply of viagra

James says:

09:47am | 19/02/10

Who is Miranda Kerr, and why should I care?

Jenni says:

11:37am | 19/02/10

I’d take Edward Norton, edible massage oil, and a blanket.

... and you can leave me there. Forever *swoon*

Grumbles says:

12:29pm | 19/02/10

A Knife, A cooking pot…. and a fully charged sat phone.

Sam says:

12:44pm | 19/02/10

I’d take an orthodox Jew, a Muslim extremist, and a Christian evangelist. They’ll either kill each other or learn to live together. That’s my recipe for fun in the sun (I know I’m weird!). Either way, we’re all stuck there!

Given the hullaboo about Irish jokes on the Daily Telegraph’s blog – did yez hear about Paddy the Irishman, Paddy the Englishman and Paddy the Scotsman marooned on a desert island? One day they found a genie lamp and in rubbing it clean didn’t the genie appear. “I will grant you each one wish”, says he. The Scotsman wishes he was back in Glasgow amongst his whiskey pals. The genie smiles and Brrrrzt! – Paddy the Scotsman finds himself in his favourite pub back in Glasgow. Paddy the Englishman wishes he was back in lively London town and Brrrzt! – he’s back in his favourite girlfriends’ disco bar. The genie turns to Paddy the Irishman “..and your wish?”. Paddy looks out to sea, up and down the beach, back inland at the trees, scratches his head and says “Jeez, I’d be awful lonely without those two lads; I wish they could be with me”. Brrrzt!
