I’ll start: ‘too orangey for crows, it’s just for me and my dog’

This is a game of word association
you mustn’t pause, you mustn’t hesitate
you mustn’t repeat a word or say a word I don’t like or else you get a bash on the head like this (bash) or like this (bash).
It’s the one with the most bruises who loses.
Now look at each other and go blaah look at them and go blaah … Your first word is ….

Sorry he didn’t say this is a game of word association, he said mallets mallet is a word association game!

I was actually thinking of/ muddling it up with ‘this is a game of levitation’ where you’d try to lift your friend up in a group with just two fingers each or something, after chanting some nonsense starting with that, memory is hazy but did anyone else do something like that?!

Anyone else remember this one? Why don’t you just switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?

Why don't you!
