  • winning at "swan"

    Swan is a devilishly complex game my gf and I play on the walk to work this morning. The rules are - and please try to keep up - the first person to spot a swan on the river and declare "SWAN!" wins at swan.

    We're both super cool people, obviously.

    Anyway, I won at swan this morning. Absolutely crushed her. It wasn't until after my declaration that I remembered she has a doctors appointment this morning and I was walking to work on my own.

    • The wife and I play 'bananas'.

      It's a similar game except you try to be the first to say 'bananas' on seeing a yellow car or van that isn't a commercial vehicle or that has been rendered yellow for some reason other than the owner being a colour-blind cretin.

      TheoGB @Epimer | 13 Aug '13, 12:37 | X
    • the ex and I used to play a game called "good night"

      the rules are that just before going to bed you have to trick the other person into saying "what" somehow, and then as soon as they do you say "good night" and just go to bed with no further pleasantries.

      Smee @Epimer | 13 Aug '13, 12:39 | X
    • Was it thewarn who played a game with his wife called 'Dead'?

      The rules of which are, if you see someone on TV who is now dead (for example, John le Mesurier), the winner is the first person to point at the screen and say 'he's dead'.

  • Getting an overpacked piece of luggage to zip up after a bit of a struggle

    Getting to a post box just as the postman's emptying it and he takes the letter off you and puts it in the bag.
    Finishing trimming my beard while the battery light is flashing, but before it runs out.
    Waking up naturally just before my alarm goes off and being able to turn the volume down before it makes me jump.
    Getting to the semi-final of a grand slam tournament.
