A decent tea pot and a comfy chair, good advice that….for all circumstances really 😊
It is all-round good life advice, I reckon. Perhaps the inclusion of three bourbons, too 🙂
Ahh yes the addition of three bourbons and Jup is 😊
no-one ever tells you how you ended up on a desert island or what you are expected to do there… these pieces of information would strongly influence my answer…
however, I suspect you are right about the Dean…
This is a very good point indeed. I would say that things had taken a pretty drastic turn if I find myself on a desert island, I’d be more concerned about how I had ended up in the position in the first place!
I’m sure I am right about The Dean. I fear I would be as insane as him within 48 hours.
I think you are right. Although, if you had been airlifted to a desert island with the express purpose of shouting at locals, he might be the right choice…
It doesn’t seem likely though…
Ha! That actually sounds like quite a good trip, actually. I could go with The Bursar and leave him there, providing he doesn’t kill me in the interim.
I am sure, as long as you ate nothing he offered, you would survive…
I could come to then if he threatens you I’ll break his legs, and once we have left him there we can have adventures…
Yay! That sounds like the best plan! Maybe break his legs even if he doesn’t threaten me, he is clearly a rum sort so is asking for it. Then we can have a nice time adventuring and exploring and not being shouted at or poisoned at all! 😀
it does sound like the best plan!!
Lets do it!!
Adventuring without being poisoned or shouted at is the best sort of adventuring! 😀
Hurrah!
(Also – I am awaiting pictures to come through of more Lego PorterGirl people!! :D)
Hurrah indeed!!
(OOOOH!! I love Lego Portergirl! She is amazing!! more Lego Portergirl people is amazing!!!)
(I’m so excited!! You realise that as a character in the next book, you could potentially be a Lego person too!!)
Ooooooohhhh!! That would be extremely exciting!!!! 😀 😀
(I am so excited about being a character in a book 😀 )
I will carry my Lego Sam with me everywhere so any time I feel sad you will be right there! 😀
Awww!! 🙂 ❤
I am right here anyway!! Anytime you need me I live in your phone 😀
(well I don't…but you know what I mean 😀 )
I know just what you mean… I am right here too – flamethrower always at the ready, my friend! 😀 😀
