Me and Rowenna purchased Bullseye last weekend and the game is good and retains many funny elements from the series - the prizes are the same - washing machine, blender, car of the year, speed boat, etc. It is good value for ?7 but needs more players than just two of you to make it really competitive.

It sadly doesn't have Bully or Jim Bowen. Unfortunately.

I would hardly class Jim Bowen or Bruce Forsyth for that matter as ''Rent Boys''. :!:

If you do, then that is certainly your problem and you should seek help...... immediately.

no one mentioned anything about ass for hire, it must surely have been a freudian slip on your part, in which case you should be the one seeking help and also hoping a certain spouse to be doesn't find out about your craving for ageing game show hosts.

true... let's hope she doesn't realise because if she does, I'm a gonner.

Every time I walk through the bedroom door i've been training her to say ''Nice to see you. to see you nice!''

in the current run of bulleye related messages i'm assuming 'nothing in this game for two in a bed' doesn't apply? :lol:

Scrabble is a really good game until you play it with someone like my father who perfected the art of playing scrabble during his university years - i.e. give the opponent no space at all and take up all the double/triple word spaces. Git!

Anyway, me and Rowenna had a game of it last night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. So much so that we are going to have another game tonight because she is desperate to beat me.

Don't forget to learn all the strange words like "qi" to really annoy your opponents. My parents bought the deluxe version, which actually rotates so everyone can see properly. Hella cool.

I know this isn't a board game. But it is. Well, kind of.

Subbuteo.

I loved this game, I played this game for an horrendous amount of hours during my childhood. I now own this game again if anyone wants a game. Please. The thing is that me and my mate Robbo had a game a couple of days ago and loved it still! It is almost timeless and extremely exhilarating when you have the scorecard, the referee, the cameramen, the sponsor hoardings, etc.

I have the vast majority of items but having received an e-mail today from http://www.subbuteoworld.co.uk , I do not think I will be buying the stadium which I so desperately wanted as a young child, I have calculated that the stadium would cost me, at todays prices, at just over ?300!!!!!!!!!!!!
