View Full Version : Give us a clue
mazwad 12-12-2005, 08:57 PM This is a game we have been messing around with at work. The idea is we start with well known Davids and you just give a clue as to the surname of the one you are thinking about. First person to get it right sets the next clue.
If its any good when we run out of Davids we go on to another christian name.
If its rubbish just let this thread die a lonely death.
I will start with Spheres D'or
Kittencat 12-12-2005, 08:59 PM That's Mr Beckham, aka Golden Balls, right?
mazwad 12-12-2005, 09:02 PM Correct that was quick your turn KC.
Kittencat 12-12-2005, 09:07 PM Ah, the little French I learnt at school was not in vain then. :laugh:
OK, our second David...
The trials of life on earth.
mazwad 12-12-2005, 09:14 PM Is it David Attenborough?
Kittencat 12-12-2005, 09:16 PM It is!
