not allowed ...
Wilfred Brambell is permitted...

[Icey]

Oh for goodnessd' sake! Your game rules're too strict!

Luxury item then .... a machete, maybe.

[tomsk]

a machete..
this is your luxury item!!!!!!!
Mwhaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Icey]

Of course. It'd be sensible. You'd need one in order to get into the coconuts, to strip bark and cut bamboo or vines so that you could construct a weatherproof living area - or even for chopping fish/crabs up with!

I wouldn't be bothered about the luxuries that we use in our every-day lives, I'd be planning on surviving and escaping from the island.

[tomsk]

you could smash coconuts on rocks and make tools from wood on the island....
there is no escape for you Maiden ....maybe you could build a raft..

[Icey]

That might be foolhardy. I might get swept out to sea, with no means of getting fresh water unless I collected condensation from a sail or something.

No Watson, a machete'd be my luxury item. You couldn't even fashion decent tools without a knife , and you'd need something to cut through the jungle undergrowth (if there was any).

[tomsk]

how would you make fire?

[Icey]

Well there'd be more than one way on a desert island. My nice shiny machete could catch the sun's reflection and set something alight, or otherwise I'd have to use the old friction method - using twine I'd made from coconuts or undergrowth .... by cutting through it with said machete!

[tomsk]

very good,
there are no dangerous beasts but frogs and other such little creatures ,
what would you eat?

[Icey]

The frogs! LOL.

[tomsk]

urrrggghhh
disgusting 007..
and no guns to shoot pheasants!

[Icey]

Frogs'd do. Frogs legs're quite nice. Taste similar to chicken. Then I'd catch a few fish.

[tomsk]

with your Machete?


(Oh I make myself chuckle this fair Saturday morning...4.13!)

[Icey]

No, no Watson - unless I used it in a spear-like fashion, but I'd need to hack vines and twist them into netting.

[tomsk]

Mrs Crusoe....
I think with your logical brain you would be very resourceful...

[Icey]

I would, I would. I wouldn't be the type to sit around wondering what to do. I'd find ways of overcoming problems.

[tomsk]

and taking us into a brighter future....

[Icey]

No ... just thinking of myself actually! Being marooned on a desert island, I'd have constant thoughts of escape, and if it worked, I'd be away asap. : )

[tomsk]

you would go crazy on an Island ...
I wouldn't mind!

[Icey]

No, I wouldn't go crazy. My sense of self-preservation's too great for that, but humans aren't meant to be solitary creatures.
