Lizzie and I received this game for christmas and it rocks. Literally rocks. I think we should have a pictionary party SOON! :D

Ah, how far I've evolved. When I was seventeen, it was all "let's get drunk in the graveyard". Now I'm all excited about a pictionary party. After the fun with it in Salou, I think such a party is mandatory.

Well, we only really did it once. The rest of the time it was drinking in nice warm pubs, or careering around the countryside in the Minis.

Ah, the life of a cumbrian lad!

Mike's just jealous of the Minis, because we collectively had at least three of them, admittedly not in the "right" colours.

Are racial stereotypes okay to use in Pictionary? I seem to remember some interesting "Chinese takeaway" drawings...

There are only four colours of a real mini. Red, Blue, white and silver. If they were not those colours then they are not Mini's!

You're going to edit "now Mini's" to say "not Mini's" at some point, right? I always thought racing green looked pretty smart on Minis as well, but it's obviously not an Italian Job colour if you're being a purist.

Ahem - Alright then if they are not Red, Blue, White, Silver OR British Racing Green then they are NOT mini's.

Then again, I wasn't the only one...

It'd be interesting to see if Chinese people would draw the same thing. Not that I'm ever likely to get the opportunity to find out, but if someone reading this wants to, go for it. Hoorah for adventures in psychology.

Al, I think we would all have done the same. It was all about efficiency, not political correctness. Yes, that was it. And I've seen pictures of them with big hats and epicanthic folds, so it's all okay. Honest.
