Two or three silly games
which me and the girl play are as follows:

The girl lives in Loughborough, which seems to be the home of the modded Fiat Punto and other average priced automobiles, so it seems entirely appropriate to play 'Spot the Mod'. Points are awarded for tints, spoilers, alloys, bodykits, fat pipes and silly decals and sunstrips. In fact, so prodigiously talented at modding are the denizens of this once sleepy East Midlands town, that we've had to introduce a local points weighting system to counter the enormous points scoring potential of the town.Now, only the truly stinky/inappropriate/outrageous examples of the art can be submitted for scoring.

Second, and a related game, is Chavspotting, which once again, can be played with ease in Loughborough, but is truly alive in Nottingham, where, as with Modspotting in Loogabarooga, a local points system has had to be introduced. Only the truly chavved-out-to-the-max can now qualify for consideration when played in the city. However, we usually elect to play a 'joker', whereby a certain style of dress, item, haircut, etc scores double. Burberry, for example, or that classy old fave, five-inches-of-visible-thong.

If you see us pointing and sniggering at people in Nottingham, then it won't be us, cos we're too subtle for that, but we will be looking at the local fauna in the Broadmarsh shopping centre on saturday, you can depend on it!

Other top chav-spotting sites are Portsmouth (all of it, R.I.P the Tricorn Centre), West Quay Centre in Southampton, and Nuneaton on a Saturday night...

In fact, we're so hooked on these 2 games that we've even got tickets to Kroozin Live at Uttoxeter races, so we can see the cars and the Burberry in action all day long!
Does this make us sad? Don't answer that!
