Ed Miliband plays it safe on Desert Island Discs - http://www.theguardian.com/politics/201 ... land-discsMaybe he genuinely chose those, but either way it doesn't look good  Anyway, what 8 tracks, book, and luxury item would you choose? Personally I'm gonna have to give it a lot of thought  EDIT - I'll add and delete as they come to me. I'm currently thinking I'd be better choosing songs I listen to all the time anyway, so... Don Henley - All She Wants To Do Is Dance Bob Seger - Shakedown AC/DC - Thunderstruck Alabama 3 - Woke Up This Morning Steve Earle - Copperhead Road Moby - James Bond Theme Queen - Gimme The Prize Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I would rather swap the tracks for books.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I'd rather have 8 books and a luxury item, as opposed to music. Selecting only 8 books would be difficult, many of the series I read have more than 8 volumes.

Sadly, that wouldn't work quite as well as a radio programme.

1) Tired Horses by Stafford Galli
2) Don't Stop Me Now by Queen
3) A Thousand Miles Away by The Hoodoo Gurus
4) Marrakesh by New Model Army
5) My Immortal by Evanescense
6) Set Fire To The Rain by Adel
7) Too close by Alex Clare
8) Loose Yourself by Eminem
These may change with more time to thing. I'm sure I could sub a few for Eric Clapton or Dire Straits.
Book - Can you count Harry Potter as one book?

Same - although they give you the "Complete Works of" - so they could give you the complete works of 8 authors

If you're going for the complete works of George R.R. Martin, you're going to have to ask for a forklift as a luxury item.

Or have the British Library as your luxury item? _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21
