I think we should play a game, a parlour game (and a fairly quick one because slow games are bad and its the end of year and I'm a bit fried) Anyway you usually play this game with a group of people and someone closes there eyes/ears and everyone picks a certain person in the group and then the person who has had there eyes shut has to ask questions to find out who it is..sorta anthropomorphic questions like "if this person was a car, what kinda car would they be?" or "if this person was a landscape/ building/ city/ colour/animal/smell etc etc... We are going to play now but change the rules slightly..
(I also like Exquisite Corpse, Mah Jong, 500, Canasta, Zilch and Strip Poker)
