    Desert Island Discs is a radio show where the guest picks 8 songs and 2 books (Bible or equivalent not included) to take if they were to be marrooned on a desert island. What are the choices of the esteemed TWC members?

    Songs:
    -something tropical and relaxing, long days working can be stressful, I can't honestly see myself brining a bunch of Iron Maiden with me on an island, though I would probably just load everything up with ACDC and other stuff.

    Books:
    -a survival guide
    -all quiet on the Western Front.
