Castaway 2000 Posted Wed Sep 13 13:45:16 BST 2000 by TVOD

Isn't it scary that the two people with least self-awareness are a trainee psychotherapist and a doctor?
Both of them presumably deal with other people's mental health.
Both are incredibily selfish, self-satisfied and have no appreciation of how their actions impinge on others.
I know this is a weird topic for this forum, but I just had to get it off my chest.

No, it could be relevant for that guy who wanted to write a sitcom... how about: there's this man, and his analyst, and they're shipwrecked on an island, and the analyst is the least aware and most selfish of the 2?

It's an idea.

I do a fair impersonation of an archipelago when I'm floating on my back.

What about The Island Of Dr Moreau?

The Isle of Man. That's an island. And it's...er...a man...

Yeah, but what about the adventure and the fun?

The Isle of Man and Island of Dr Moreau are not men. They are islands of men. Don't be so silly.

I thought the same thing about the doctor and the psycotherapist.

if the bbc wanted this project to work properly then they should have chosen an island a little further away - so they couldn't just leap on a dingy and go to sainsbury's when they ran out of caviar.

it's rediculous, and i feel sorry for the people there that are trying to make the whole thing work.

Just the whole discussion about the puppies i found tedious and annoying. THEY ARE JUST FUCKING DOGS! Thank you.
And all people always crying and storming off should grow up - especially ben the twat. It's like Big Brother, but longer and with more people.
Psychological experiment? Psycho-bollocks more like.
When's it on next?

Dogs shit. I was with the doc on that.

I hate dogs as much as any other man - but to have a mass arguement about them just seems pointless - they're hardly important inhabitants of the island. Isn't that the human beings? Drown them and have done with it, i say.

Couldn't agree more. There's loads of water, loads of stones. All they needed was a sack or two.

There's a W.C. Fields quote that springs to mind.
A man who kicks dogs can't be all bad.

No. Ailie is Scottish for 'horse.'





















Sorry. That was a lie.

Posted By J is a B, Ailie is a horse? on Sat Sep 16 00:24:21 BST 2000:

Just what is Ailie scottish (or perhaps scotch, if you prefer/are called herring) for then?


Subject: Re: Castaway 2000 [ Previous Message ]
Posted By Ailie on Sat Sep 16 17:26:35 BST 2000:

Ailie is a SCOTTISH (Gaelic) equivalent to an English name, such as 'Alison.'
I use the lowland spelling, but the Gaelic one (which is pronounced the same) is spelled Eilidh.

What a learning experience, eh?!
