My Last Eurovision Breath, James Newman.

I’ve been playing a lot of the board game (and soon apparently to be a reality gameshow) Ticket to Ride recently, specifically we’ve been trying to explore more of the variants – everyone loves Europe, I’ve got a personal love of the stocks and shares aspect of the Pennsylvania board, and I tried playing the UK board last night but it was, frankly, a bit out there with its rules variants. Anyway, what’s your favourite expansion?

I wanted to illustrate the post with a video. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be copies of Gyles Brandreth’s Railway Carriage Game on Youtube. Gladiators: Train 2 Win a bit too clever. The best in terms of most obscure then is probably Commuter Quiz, the cryptic crossword competition from the mid-eighties.

Bullseye was a general knowledge quiz mixed with darts.

Big Break was a general knowledge quiz mixed with snooker.

The Full Swing was a general knowledge quiz mixed with golf.

For What It’s Worth was a general knowedge quiz mixed with antiques valuation.

Happy Pancake Day.

Seems reasonable enough.

I know, but this is worth advocating for I think.

Thanks to Gizmodo, we’ve learnt that Sky’s streaming service NowTV are doing a flash sale – £1 for a two month entertainment pass.

So if you’re looking for a cheap way to watch Comedy Central’s upcoming Gods of the Game starting March 9th, from the people behind Bother’s Bar favourite Wild Things, there’s your (and my) in. I don’t know how long this flash sale lasts for. Edit: Looks like March 1st.

Remember to cancel your pass before the two months is up or you’ll be charged £8.99 per month until you do (although perhaps you’ll be alright with that).
