    If you could choose one gadget to have on a desert island what would you have!?

    I'd have a solar powered gdh - with one item I could ward off invaders, boobytrap my house, cook steaks, make fire -and toast, and keep my hair in order.

    What would you bring?

    ghd?

    Seriously?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Were the builders there already?

    Not much of a desert island if there are cows wandering about either!

    I don't think he would lend it to you, how about a delorean with a flux capacitor.
