blobloblob Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Right - Gordon Brown drinking game. Every time he says 'Er' down 1 finger of your drink Every time he makes that strange 'O' shape with his mouth between words down 2 fingers of drink Every time he says "It started in America" finish the rest of your drink and fill up again. 5 minutes in and I'm absolutely s&'tfaced already.
