Game On!

The journey back from Yarmouth is always long. It’s even longer when you’ve lost and gone on the lash on the Saturday night so we invented a new game to while away time in the car on the way back…

The idea is to pick a London location and then give a cryptic clue. You also give the page number on the A-Z. My best entry yesterday was the following:

Clue: Ouch. I’ve had a hot curry and my bottom is really hurting.
Page: 68.
Answer: Holburn (Hole burn).

We also invented a game called Going For Old which is a bit like the Henry Kelly Euro-quiz Going For Gold except all the answers have to be Belgium and the winner gets a pensioner of their choice.

It may sound pointless but it greatly expanded out knowledge of Belgium. MB Games will bring both of these out soon…
