More silly games...

<HTML>Time to get silly, I think...
Bascially it has come to my attention that Australia are whupping England in the Ashes (note for foreigners - cricket is a game played by men wearing pyjamas and ivolves not doing much for five minutes while some Aussie tries to remove your head with a small leather ball. Well, the English play it like that. The Australians somewhat spoil the game by taking it seriously.) and therefore it is time to send forth another sport that may once again allow the English to be world champions at something...
Thus I hereby announce the world's innaugral musical chairs contest, here on the fforum...
A few pointers for novices:
1: An assortment of chairs are positioned in the middle of a room full of infants. Or Nextians...
2: Some sadistic git turns on a source of music.
3: The infants run around the chairs until the music stops - the music is stopped by the highly convoluted process of waiting until somebody's angel is about to puke everywhere and then turnin gthe volume down.
4: When the music stops the competitors attempt to sit on a chair.
5: At this point it is generally realsied that there were as many chairs as competitors through an oversight of the regulatroy authorities.
6:The music starts again. One drunken parent removes a chair.
7: The music stops. Everybody sits on a chair, leaving one slow, fat kid chairless.
8: The slow fat kid shoves the nearest kid out the way and takes their chair.
9: repeat stages 6-8 until only one chair is left.
10: Fat kid wins through greater gravity.
This, as with many childhood games, is supposed to prepare children for adult life. Anybody who has travelled on the 1736 from Paddington will recognise the truth of this.
Anyways, let the music begin...</HTML>
