More pubs should have games in them.

I'm not talking about the so-addictive-they-should-be-illegal quiz machines, or the always occupied pool tables but the more standard parlour games. Trivial Pursuits, Pass the Pigs, Jenga, that sort of thing.

We in Childs Hall in 2001 totally had the same idea first (about the Guess Who thing), and I have video evidence to prove it. Our rule was slightly different: you couldn't ask anything about their faces.
