No, I'm not referring to the war but Ryan's birthday. It was his birthday 1 year ago and it is again today. What a coincidence! He's 11 and he got a couple of playstation games, lego bionicle, bey blade magnacore arena (what's that?), beginner's french CDRom (boy was he pleased with this) and The Lord of The Rings Risk board game. Did you play Risk as a kid? I've still got ours in a cupboard. I recall playing with loads of other people and taking all weekend playing it. Fantastic.
Other childhood games included that golf thing which was a little man on the end of a stick and he swung a club that hit small polystrene balls. We used to play it all over the house. The green was a bit of curly foam and you had to substitute the ball for a small glass marble when you reached it. Bunkers were made of plastic. We used to introduce water hazards and other hazards such as the stairs.
Now I just need to get Ryan off the Playstation so that I can beat him at, errm teach him how to play Risk...
