Risk is my Favourite also.
Monopoly can get boring. I remember having a game where it took 6 hours for the first person to go bankrupt. The second was two hours later. We never found out how the rest of us did. We were too bored to care. If I remember correctly, the bank even ran out of money.

I see in one report recently that Snakes and Ladders is supposed to be a great way of teaching your kids maths. I also remember from a few years ago that Snakes and Ladders was banned in one school because children may become depressed if they continually went down snakes whilst their friends climbed the ladders. :shock: How times change! :lol:

In fact, at least in this case, reading up on the history of how the term came about, I have to agree that it was rather unpleasant and is probably best that we no longer use it.

I agree. The one that i really don't get is .. BBC Radio 1 Xtra - it's a radio station for Black music. They say advertise it as that. Now don't get me wrong but if there was a radio staion for white or asian music ..... there would be uproar.

Dont get me started Chepfer where I work there is a Black association an Asian association and also a Lesbian and Gay association all of which I have no problem with but there is no white hetrosexual association and yet the majority of the workforce is white and ( I am making an assumption here) hetrosexual and I wonder if I tried to start one what the reaction would be.
