Off Topic Charlton Desert Island Dilemna

A mystery benefactor offers you £1,000,000 cash to live on a desert island for a year with just one of the following three Charlton fans -

P. May

S. Parkes

R. Everitt

You will have to live on your wits to survive for the year, but your one chosen guest can bring a luxury item with them.

Who would you choose to live on the desert island for a year with, and why

 

Everitt could give me all the gossip from his time at the club so that would be interesting. We could also put the VOTV together, I like him so it would be a pleasure being with my hero.

It would not work with Taffy as I don't like foul language and am not a violent person so we'd not get on. Oh yeah, I would not understand what he is saying.

It would have to be with Perks. Many reasons to be honest.

1. I'd be able to see whether she is a geezer or a bloke
2. It would be able to tell me how much scoff was had at a pre-match buffet
3. I could get the lowdown on it's 'friendship' with squirrel face

No contest really.

 

I think I would choose Mrs S. Parkes as my desert island companion. She would be bound to bring a year’s supply of vol au vents with her as her luxury item, and given her legendary status for hunting down free food, there would be no risk in us going peckish over the year.

 

I can see the arguments for Sue Parkes, and tempting though they are I'm not sure I could tolerate her attitude.
Better an empty stomach than both ears full of patronising hen-pecking day and night.

Since I share Elf's dislike for gratuitous violence I can't see it working with Reams either (though the swearing would not bother me).
Moreover I understand he is a team leader. Two managers on a desert island is at least one too many, so again it's a no-no.

That leaves me with Rick.
I happen to think his heart is in the right place even if he does get carried away at times. Our politics are broadly alike too, so we would probably get on reasonably well for the most part. As long as his luxury item is not a megaphone.

 

Sue and Reams would hate my 8 records, leaving Rick.

 

I did consider taking Paul May with me, but had to dismiss the idea out of fairness to any giant blubber whales swimming near the desert island.

They might see Reams on the beach & become distressed that one of their number had become marooned ashore.

 

On the other hand, you could use Reams as a life raft to travel back to civilisation.

 

Make sure you fill up the tank before hand, 28 gallons of special brew should do the trick.

 

I suppose Paul May’s legendary flip flops would come in handy on the beach.

 

I don’t think you should take the risk with Rick Everitt on the desert island Elfs.

Imagine the day the rescue boat comes.

You swim out to sea, and shout back to shore:

“Any sign of that rescue boat, Rick?”

“It’s imminent” ......comes the reply
