agreed we could live on a Desert Island - and subsequently agreed to take a World Cruise still around? Now that WAS a laugh!!! and so many joined in too, we had great fun!!! Who remembers? It was a year ago - 13th August 2004 when I posted the original question - ''Could we members survive if we were marooned on a Desert Island?'' In view of the comments about the whinges etc. would we still make a good mix?

Ha ha! Have you read Lord of the Flies .......? Bev x

It would be extremely interesting!! LOL!!

Lol, remember it well, I was the head gardner, who introduced Boris to the rest of the world, and then passed him on to that crazy cook Lindy. It was great fun wasnt it. And whiled away a good few hours each day.

Oh yes, I loved it. It could be quite interesting to do one now...lol

Ive read Lord of the Flies, ....LOL...

Well, apart from the anniversary date niggling at my memory, I read about a new series that has been made for TV (In America), entitled LOST, about a group of people who are in a plane that comes down on a desert island ..... etc ..... etc. The plot sounds so similar to ours - they've even involved umpteen writers - and I thought - ''hang-on!!'' ...... at the time we were doing ours I commented that we should have copyrighted it!! I think it starts on TV next week.

Sounds brill wish I had been around then :-)

They had better not have a pet crocodile. That would be too spooky.

*waves to Dorothy* Me MEEEEEEEE. It was the funniest thing ever on GR (with the possible exception of the day we all changed colour and broke the board). Gwynne

I'm still around... I was with the 'crew' when the ship went down, and when the hotel started. What fun we had :)) Has anyone heard from that boss of mine 'Fat Lady Cook' Deb (AKA Sassy)

Hi everybody !!!! (Waves) Oh we did have such fun didn't we!!! It was almost surreal when I think back - No, I haven't seen Lindy (Fat Cook) around - although she's perhaps not a fat cook now, as the last I saw she'd been on a diet. Boris is residing by my pond in the garden LOL

I'm not ''original'' - but I was there! Let's do it again! :-) Joy

Sounds like fun. I was not around then, but I'd come now. A bit of imagination and I'll be ready! Deanna X

i remember being...nurse gladys emanuel...aboard the ship. with my famous 'dont worry,its only a little prick' as i produced a syringe :o) bryan.

It was the anti VD serum that has me in fits of laughter every time I think of it... lol, and yes I did have it.

Hi Dorothy Yes it was good fun, but it took over my life ( actually it has changed my life ), as i spent hours sitting at my PC trying to keep up with the storyline. I started off as head of security on the cruise ship and ended up as chief consable on the island, and had a love hate relationship with that waste of space crocodile boris, i'm sure he's very happy in his new home.

OH FOR GAWD'S SAKE - Boris was stuffed!!!!! He was only real to certain people who had partaken of the wacky backy!! lol Jac the Drac and Aussie Dipso!

Jacqui? I thought Boris was real!!!! :-) Joy

I was going to be Prime Minister I believe but booked a holiday so couldn't join in. If I remember right Manda from Yorkshire was having my two Jags! lol
