I think you're spot-on with something like Biggles - I don't think I'd want something "worthy" - I'd want something cheering that makes me laugh. <abbr><em>Daphnes last blog post..<a href="http://mydadsacommunist.blogspot.com/2008/10/transformation.html" rel="nofollow">Transformation</a></abbr></em> It’s always very illuminating, Desert Island Discs – - you get musicians who choose a piece that they composed, or that they’re playing in, for every single record and you get people showing off like mad for their book choice.

You think you have a choice? You think I'd leave you there with the Bony One and Biggles? Trust me, you'd be rescued. Whether you liked it, or not! MWAHAHAHA!! Would you want to be rescued?

As Jake pointed out - any small island is unlikely to have fresh water available. Well - not one the size of the one in the picture anyway. I don't think even Ms. Streeter will be able to help with that! @Malc: I think the end would come quite quickly. As Jake pointed out – any small island is unlikely to have fresh water available.

It's far more interesting to hear what kind of literature Politician #423 actually enjoys than it is to find that he's the four-hundred-and-twenty-third politician to choose the bible, because he thinks it portrays him as an upstanding good-Christian type, or the Complete Works of Shakespeare, because it makes him look cultured and literate. I presume that these days the luxury item is limited as well to exclude things like computers with internet connections and/or, you know, huge archives of books and music on their hard drives. ;-) (And if it's the island that's pictured I think my luxury item would probably have to be a cyanide pill, 'cause there's no way I want to die of thirst or hunger...)

I suspect I'd get a bit bored and even stir crazy after a day or more on that tiny bit of land. One half decent wave and I'd have to be up one of those trees faster than you could say tsunami. As for a luxury item, I'd have to go for Pamela Anderson. Lets face it, once you'd run out of things to do with her you could just hop on and row to safety. Come on, she'd HAVE to float !!! <abbr><em>Silverbacks last blog post..<a href="http://retirement-rocks.blogspot.com/2008/10/when-they-work-here-they-work-fast.html" rel="nofollow">When They Work Here, They Work Fast.</a></abbr></em> I think I’d be ok as long as the island, desert or deserted, wasn’t the size of the one in your photo.
