Desert Island Discs

Mi-Amigo — Sun, 17 Feb 2019 09:55:25 GMT

You have probably heard of, or maybe even listened to, the BBC Desert Island Discs, in which folks choose which 8 records they would take with them to a desert island, along with one luxury (cannot be anything to escape or rescue - so no boat, tablet or internet connection [sorry 02]) and one book (except The Bible and works of Shakespeare which are provided).

I thought it`d be a bit of fun for posters to share their Desert Island Discs

Here`s mine:

8 songs:

- Imagine (John Lennon)

- Let It Be (The Beatles)

- Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen)

- My Generation (The Who)

- The Times They Are A-changing (Bob Dylan)

- Sounds Of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel)

- A Whiter Shade Of Pale (Procul Harem)

- All You Need Is Love (The Beatles)

Luxury:

- duvet [for the cold nights]

Book:

- Guiness Book Of World Records

(I know I`ll never achieve any of them but it`d be fun seeing what folks have achieved)

Over to you guys....

Well here's my choices @Mi-Amigo:

With God On Our Side: Manfred Mann,

Hey Jude: The Beatles,

Sympathy for the Devil: The Rolling Stones,

The Boxer: Simon and Garfunkel,

Paperback Writer: The Beatles,

Human: Rag'n'Bone Man

Wolves: Rag'n'Bone Man,

Stairway to Heaven: Led Zepplin

Luxury: Bottle of Baccardi and bottles of Coca Cola.

Book: Complete Short Stories of Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie.

I would probably miss my phone and my games, my TV and DVR, so wouldn't last long on the island.

Ha...I've just noticed I have 'overstepped the mark' with my allowance of discs. I have 11 instead of 8.

Too bad, if anyone tries to take 3 away I will punch them on the nose.

I have commented on your post on this, and would like to reiterate here and apologise for not doing a proper search before creating this thread.

It is not, and never will be, my intention to take someone else`s ideas and again am sincerely sorry.
Also it is regretable that your thread did not receive posts. Whatever it is I have, Idon`t know only that I have daft ideas and sometimes get a bit carried away and am embarrassed that that has caused this.

@Mi-Amigo

Will you give over?...

It's no big deal. As I said on the other thread it was probably a different time then. We may have been far busier than we are now. . No-one needs to apologise.

Please @Mi-Amigo have a look at my reply to your comment on your thread ... & ... @Cleoriff's measured & informed response ... You havn't taken my idea ... & ... please again don't be embarrassed as it's not necessary ... I've had many a daft post & have people comment on it ... but ... I'm still here

As one of the regulars @Cleoriff speaks sense

Please keep posting as you have since you joined the Community

A funny ... at one time, some time ago, threads were being 'resurrected' ... I believe it was @viridis who commented that it must be Easter coming up
