Title: On a desert island with….
Post by: Usher wide. on July 06, 2025, 10:34:11 pm
Ok, the scenario is you’re stuck on a desert island (plenty of provisions, fresh water & shelter there) for a minimum of 12 months.

You can have one ‘companion’ with you during that time.

No sexual contact allowed with that companion throughout the duration of period of ‘castaways’ is the only rule.

The ‘companion’ you choose can be from any period of history, living or dead. Only one choice, no dithering.

Having said ‘no dithering’, my first thought would have been to choose Peter Ustinov. A man of intellect, humour & with a personal past that it alone would keep me open mouthed for at least half the period of ‘our stay’.

But in the end there was only ever really going to be one contender. A man whose comedic timing & warmth sent me to bed happily (& with his dvd’s still does so till this day), a man I would have been proud to have as a dad, Eric Morecombe.

I could only foresee evenings around a fire whilst listening to his stories & ongoing circumstantial humour that I would have to tear myself away to sleep & eagerly await another day of laughter & sheer joy.

So, from sportsperson to academic to head of state to your local window cleaner; who might your choice be & why?

Elizabeth Taylor, for her conversation and her looks,  and for the type of contact mentioned earlier.

Hannibal.

After Cannae, why didn't  he ever go to attack Rome???? One of the most baffling decisions of the past 2,200 years.

Or any of about 200 others.....

Robert Zimmerman. Unsurpassed as a song writer, musician, and poet.

Also, very spiritual.

Winston Churchill, I'd love to hear now what he'd have to say about the deficiencies in his character and abilities,  his lack of anti fascist credibility ascribed to him now by the revisionist, clueless left wing of all colours,  centered in, around and outside the Labour Party.

 He'd probably just drown you rather than sit trapped for years having that thrown at him over a coconut

Au Contraire, I'm sure he'd be interested in hearing about Britain now, where so called anti fascists march happily alongside Jew haters.

Sure he'd be delighted.  Have you always been angrier than the average man in the street , or just turn it on when on the Internet for effect?

No you've lost me there.
Anyway now he's been knocked out of Wimbledon I'd like to spend time on an island with Cameron Norrie and ask what he thought of being referred to as British last couple of weeks.

He was born in South Africa,  raised in New Zealand,  developed his game courtesy of the United States and for tax purposes now resident of Monaco.

Oh for a short time it benefited him to be associated with Britain when some funding in his early teenage years was available from the Lawn Tennis Association.

Seems to me to be a citizen of nowhere.

Fits a pattern,  become "British" for selfish personal benefits.

Ah there, there Smyth. Bitterness begets more bitterness. Harboring bitterness leads to a cycle of negativity, impacting your own well-being and your relationships with others.

The Bible describes bitterness as a "root of bitterness" that defiles many. It hinders spiritual growth and leads to a hardening of the heart.

Bitterness damages relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. It leads to isolation and difficulty forming healthy connections with others.

To overcome bitterness, to gather friends,  it's important to address the root cause, practice forgiveness, and seek spiritual healing. This may involve seeking help from a therapist or counsellor.

Good luck

Can we just ban this weird incel already? Never contributes positively to any topic, doesn't talk about Rovers, weirdly wildly aggressive attitude towards everybody, definitely has some deep issues that need working out before he should be allowed on the computer unaccompanied.

Anyway, I'd go with Alan Moore. One of the most interesting writers who's ever lived in my view. And funny, in a dour Brummie sort of way.

Some engineer who could figure out how to get us off the island.

Isambard Kingdom Brunel perhaps or Tom Hanks .

Maybe send for the police and put me in jail?  I've always said the fight against fascism will never be won until the state has imprisoned everyone for wrong think.
Speaking of which I've used a time machine and visted Hitler on the island,  I've told him Jews in London are warned against having a Kippah headwear anywhere in public, he smiled.
