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.
