• We'll happily give extra points for a pic of the best service station meal: We have a vivid memory of an interesting Currywurst meal on the picture menu of a German Service Station. Its interestingness lay, chiefly, in the photo and meal being absolutely identical-not a single discernable difference between the photo version and the plated reality. Show us the most inedible, most expensive, most preposterous meal on sale in England please for 2 points
• Bonus points for in-car word play: e.g.'By jingo, there goes my pink flamingo' 2 points

By jingo there goes my pink flamingo'
The aim of the game is to create a sentence- of a minimum of 3 words..

• Each player takes his turn by saying one word only. This can be any word they choose.
• The game continues with players taking it in turns to each say a word. Thus, adding to the available words.-The important thing is to remember all the words in your head and to be continually attempting to form a sentence with those words.
• The game is won when a player believes that they can successfully formulate a sentence with the addition of one new word. Sentences must be grammatically correct but do not necessarily have to be true.
• The player then adds his word and pronounces 'By jingo there goes my pink flamingo'.
• To win the game he then says the sentence that he has formed out of the available words.-The important thing here is to actually remember the sentence after saying 'By jingo there goes my pink flamingo' as we often found that with weary minds the sentence had all but disappeared during the excitement of uttering 'By Jingo..'

This is a spoken game only.

• Players are not permitted to write anything down during this game.
• The sounds-like rule:. Words which sound alike, e.g. There/their or Straight/Strat etc can be interpreted by players as best suits them.
• Although words which sound a bit similar our/are or meringue/katamaran should be carefully pronounced to ensure you opponents understand your choice of word.
• Hyphenated words are allowed.
• Where more than two players are participating you may find the game fairer if you draw for the starting word
  Example:
  Player one. Blue
  Player two. Frowned
  Player one. Trousers
  Player one: My
  Player two: Bubbles
  Player one: when
  Player two: I. By Jingo there goes my pink flamingo.
  I frowned when my trousers blew bubbles.
