    Default Desert island discs

    The ship was on fire and sinking fast, the entire crew bar the gay second steward and myself were either dead, missing or drowned. The second was attempting to release the last remaining lifeboat as I passed what served as the ships library.
    I rushed inside, grabbed the solar powered CD player and a hand full of CD’s. I chucked them into the lifeboat and went back to the galleyto grab a 20-litre bucket of lard.

    We eventually landed on a deserted small island somewhere in the South Pacific.

    I looked at what I had grabbed from the library, ten CD in all, made up of the following in four different categories.

    Classical
    Beethoven’s fifth
    Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin

    One opera, Turandot by Puccini

    One movie score. West side story

    Two country/Western
    Sunday Morning Coming Down, Johnny Cash
    You Were Always on my Mind, Willie Nelson

    Four contempory.

    Sailing, Rod Stewart
    Hotel California , The Eagles
    Silence is golden, Frankie Season and the Four Vallis
    American Pie, Don MaClean

    The lard was to put on my body in case the second steward fancied me; I would slip from his grasp.

    Given similar situation what music etc in same categories would you take, and what useless article?

    The arms of a barmaid from Yale
    Were tattooed with the price of the ale
    And on her behind
    For the use of the blind
    Was the same information, in Braille.
