That's a good idea
We we're planning on taking a travel Monopoly board and taking pictures with the cards and our chosen shots. I'm hoping to get coloured shots that match the Monopoly set colours.

Sludge and broken toes? That's one to tell the grandkids eh?

The drunkest I ever got my friend informs me I bought a bottle of whiskey in oddbins (already plastered) and used my card (pre pin entry). I was a good 30cms from the piece of paper I had to sign when I attempted to sign for it. I promptly downed the bottle on the way back to my friends house and attempted to lob the empty bottle at a complete stranger who I believed was my ex-boss at the supermarket I got my first job in. This was the start of that night.
