Failing access to Amazon, I vote for a communal marooning - that way we can share dvds. And books. And conversation. This is actually sounding like a most attractive proposition...
Is Rupert marooned? Because I'd want my island to be quite a bit bigger than his appears to be.
Good choices, though I would put in Lord of the Rings instead of Master and Commander - and of course there are so many things I'd miss!
I remain spellbound by Eccleston as Nine. I was watching the 1996 movie with Paul McGann today and trying to compare them. I couldn't... I couldn't get my brain to imagine any connection between them. Even though I like Paul McGann, generally speaking. But my brain was having such conceptual difficulties. (Not just because I was watching it in French.)

See that's why we need to make sure it's a communal marooning, so we can share stuff. It'd be heaven!
Do you find it harder to connect PMG's Doctor to Nine than any of the other Doctors? I've only watched half the film and thought it was pretty dire, but I still rather liked him as Eight. He's playful and joyful, and I actually like the contrast with Nine. It makes what happened in the Time War, what he had to do and what it did to him, all the more terrible, don't you think?
Hee, the alarm on my new mobile has just gone off - Demolition Lovers. :)

Yes. I'd like that island.

I liked him, but... Not sure about the connection with the others. Not that I've seen the old classic Doctors. I think it was that he seemed gentle. Nine and Ten can be gentle, but only rarely, and they have to put effort into it.
I agree about the effectof the Time War, though: if you think of Eight as pre-trauma and Nine as the man who emerged on the other side.

Let me get this right: a) You live on an island (or is that "in" an island). b) The sea is a few short kilometres from your door. c) There are palm trees. d) The climate is almost (in summer anyway) tropical. e) You have all mod cons laid on, including deliveries from Amazon. Sounds pretty perfect to me!
Hi again! *waves* I do have a question or two re Malta:
1) What's a good café in Valletta or Sliema?
2) What's your favourite beach?
3) What's your favourite place?
4) What clothes are people wearing right now? i.e. what do I need to pack? Is it hot even at night? Do people dress formally or casually? Do I need to be appropriate if we visit a church?
5) Are some beaches pebbly or stone, and should we bring flipflops or similar to walk on them?
6) Can you buy English books?
7) What's a great thing to eat that you would recommend??
