Three fingers please
Jacqui Smiths revelations last week that she had smoked dope at University rather overshadowed the fact that she was an avid participant in the world renowned drinking game, 'bunny rabbits'.
Jacqui Smiths revelations last week that she had smoked dope at University rather overshadowed the fact that she was an avid participant in the world renowned drinking game, 'bunny rabbits'. It is good that such a revered game should get such high profile publicity, albeit on the back of a much more dull and uninspiring one like spliff smoking.
'Bunny rabbits' was just one of a host of games embraced by the various sports and social sections of colleges all around the Country when I was a lad, so why should a cabinet minister feel ashamed or bashful about admitting they were a regular participant. The practice is also wide spread in rugby and cricket clubs and any publicity which would hasten an increase in the numbers playing should to be welcomed. One would hope the present government will not endeavour to brush such high profile exposes under the carpet, or release names of further party games they have played, on 'bad news' days.
I feel certain that John Major when in office occasionally dabbled in 'Fizz Buzz Cricket' and that senior civil servants at Defra are dab hands at 'Frogs in a Bucket' or 'Fuzzy Duck' and I understand George Bush and Tony Blair regularly played 'Commander Bilbybobs' with their Chiefs of Staff in the White House.
Everybody needs a relaxation when away from the public gaze, and what better way that a traditional British drinking game. Now whats the time....ah, is that right hand drinking or left?
