One thing that is apparently obvious from reading on here for any length of time – is that Sotonians’ love their music. I had a look around, and was surprised therefore to not see that this has already been done here. So here it is.
The situation at hand:
Finally – a UK Government has taken its first ever virtually unanimously supported action to curb the delinquency and degeneration affecting the country, and the rapidly eroding moral-fabric of society. After having identified the root cause of moral decay and corruption as originating in and emanating from P*rtsmouth – it has been decided to just fucking nuke the whole of Portsea Island including its surrounding mainland estates, and be done with it.
It means that we have to evacute the region for the forseeable future to avoid the fallout in safer climes, but it’s a sacrifice worth making for the greater good of the nation. I’m sure you would agree.
So, we’re all on notice to pack our bags, and head for the distant Desert Islands of our choice. The government are paying for the trip, so don’t worry about how you’re going to afford your flights.
In homage to the original BBC Radio Four format, you can take Eight CDs of your choice on our extended trip, along with one book , and one luxury item. Unlike the original – I won’t limit you on what your luxury item can be.
Still need some consideration time myself, so I’ll put my selections up later this afternoon when I get home.
In the meantime, feel free to start considering and adding your own.
I don’t think I would take music. I don’t like music. Music is gay. It’s ok in Background i suppose, when I’m driving, or fucking, or Doing Something, but I couldn’t just sit and listen to A Whole Album Of Music. That would be v.boring. I spose the CDs would come in handy as i.e. Frisbees, or as small mirrors for shaving, but under them circumstances, I don’t spose it matters much what is actually on them. I’ll take any 8 Nick Drake CDs, as long as one of them isn’t Five Leaves Left. That’s the worst one.
